Walking home alone with a heavy backpack on my shoulders, I
was surrounded by a chilly wind that carried gray dust. The dust obstructed
my vision and unknowingly led me to a small forest. There, I found a cave
covered by branches. With a sense of unease, I entered the cave, and
suddenly, a strong light shone on me. The light was so bright that I could
not open my eyes. After a few seconds, the light faded away, and I found
myself in a completely different world.
This world was terrifying. Everywhere I looked, I saw lava and an active
volcano in the distance. Houses were destroyed, and people were missing.
Dark clouds frequently passed by the sky, accompanied by lightning and
thunder. There were no trees or animals, and the whole world lacked
vitality, sending shivers down my spine. Suddenly, a massive flood rushed
towards me, submerging villages and fields. This was the result of humans
destroying the environment, causing the greenhouse effect that melted the
polar ice caps, which in turn led to flooding on land. I fell to my knees on
the slope of a mountain and cried loudly, feeling helpless about how to save
our home, our mother earth. Could I just ignore the fact that the earth was
being destroyed step by step?
At that moment, an old scholar with a white beard walked up to me and gently
touched my head, saying, "Child, don't you want to save this world?" I shook
my head and replied, "No, I do." The scholar said, "What you saw is the end
of the world in a few decades, caused by humans damaging the environment
through excessive resource exploitation, ecological imbalance, overfishing,
and deforestation. If we want to prevent these disasters from happening, we
must start advocating for environmental protection from now on. Can you do
that?" I looked at him and nodded heavily. Then, another strong light shone
on me, and I returned to reality, staring at my textbooks silently. I
thought to myself, "I not only need to start from myself, but also need to
advocate for environmental protection and study hard to use scientific
methods to maintain and protect nature. It's essential to achieve a
harmonious development between humans and nature."
This journey through time and space not only made me feel the terror of the
earth's destruction but also helped me understand the importance of
protecting the environment. |
