Steemit Green Challenge 🌿 | Raise Your Voice for Nature

Assalam O Alaikum my friends! I am your own @shahidalinaz and here to share my knowledge on ***Nature*** . I live in village and love nature. Sometimes I sit outside my house and look around and I feel a little sad. Trees are getting less, roads are getting hotter and air is not like before. I still remember when my village was full of green plants and fresh wind. Now things are changing slowly and not in good way. I feel we are losing something very important without realizing it.

◉How you protect the environment?◉

I am not a perfect person but I try small things in daily life. I don’t throw waste on roads. I try to keep things clean around me. If I see plastic and paper on ground I pick it up and put it in dustbin. This look small thing but I feel it matters. At home also I try to save electricity. I turn off fan and bulb when there is no in room. It means fan and light is not need I turn it off. Water is also something I try not to waste. I off tap when there is no need like when I am making shampoo my hairs. I do not use plastic bags because these pollute soil and water. I think planting tree is best way to protect environment so I plant trees more.

◉Your experience with planting trees. ◉

Once I plant a small plant near my house. It was very small. It was thin stick type plant. Honestly I was not sure it will survive or not. But still I watered it daily in summer season. After some weeks I saw small green leaves coming. That moment I can not explain in words. I felt like something alive is growing because of me. Now that plant is still there and growing slowly. Whenever I see it, I feel good inside. More I plant a Neem tree in my home. I sit under shadow in day time. It give fresh and good air even in hot day. Besides them I love to grow flowering plant. I became happy when I see flower in my home.

◉The current environmental condition around you. ◉

Now days environment is not clean like before. Too much smoke from vehicles, garbage on streets. Cutting of trees is normal thing in different places. Summers are getting more hot than before. Sometimes breathing also feels heavy. Now environment in my village feels very hot and dry. Sun is strong and air is little dusty. Sometimes pollution from traffic make it harder to breathe easy. There is some fresh breeze in evening which gives little relief. We really need to care more about our environment before it gets worse day by day.

◉Your ideas or plans for protecting nature.◉

Trees are very important thing for environment. I feel every person should plant at least one tree in a year. It is not hard thing. Small step can make big change. So plantation of tree is very important. Schools should also teach students about nature more practically. There should be a plantation day held in school once in year. We do not need big speeches. We only need small actions in real life.
