Mountains, forests, seas, flowers, animals and all things in this world are those God's creations , even us. Living with those creations are such a blessing for the people. We are assigned to take care of it. People are the most special creation by God because we give life to the Earth. We are the care takers of God's creation BUT are we good enough to be called care takers of God's properties?
Environment is a very serious thing and important to the people;where the people live and it is our natural resources without this, people can't live. Earth is the only planet that has living things and we are very lucky to have those creations.
But nowadays, because of the extreme desired to earn money and to become one of the richest person in the world they have to used our natural resources because of that desires, they never noticed that they are abusing the God's properties. People are really abusive. Let's say that cutting of trees are not bad; it gives us shelter to live, furnitures, it became available for agricultural use as farm, it provides materials for the wood industries, and provides a new population areas.
But because of their greediness in money, they are abusing the trees. Government used it for economic purposes and nation's new income sources because we have a low grow rate of economy. They never noticed that we are running out of trees in our forest. Because of their desire to have housing projects for the people and other government projects, we are experiencing climate change.
According to Natural Defense Council (NRDC) climate change is changing our economy, health, and communities in diverse ways. Scientists warned us that if we do not agressively curb climate change now, the results will likely be disastrous.
Scientists explained that carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants are collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up.
The United States Global Change Research Program which includes the Department of Defense, NASA, National Science Foundation, and other government agencies said that global warming is unequivocal and primarily human induced and that climate changes are underway in the United States and are projected to grow.
In addition, not just the cutting of trees causes climate change, Human activities like mining, improper usage of waste disposal, and burning may contribute to global warming.
According United States Global Change Research Program concludes that climate change also poses unique challenges to human health like; significant increases in the risk of illness and death related to extreme heat, diseases transmitted by foods, water, and insects are increases.

Variety of solutions have been proposed to stop global warming such as
energy conservation which is the reduction in the amount of energy consumed by the society by means of elimination of waste and rational use. We can conserve energy in a very simple ways that will help to avoid climate change.;
Reduce, reuse, recycle, proper usage of electricity, and proper use of home appliances. Second,
Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generations, air and water heating/cooling, motor fuels, and rural (off-grid) energy services. The electricity is powered by our natural resources which includes the sun, water, and wind. It offers a carbon- free alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

We should be more responsible taking care of our environment because if we do not take an action we will destroy it. It is really important to value our natural resources because if we don't, we have horrible air to breathe, no trees, no water, no food, no shelter, and we might die from illness. Without those natural sources, people have nothing. We need to start doing simple things to save and protect our environment.
