I have lately been trapped in thinking about how man has invented incredible and unprecedented things, moved out to the moon, manufactured robots, yet can't give life to a simplest grass leaf that has been plucked from its mother plant.

Talk about the extinction of dinosaurs and many others that caught us unprepared then, will we claim to be unaware of the current decreasing sea life too!? 

We probably think we know what life is until we are asked to explain it. In such efforts, it kinda feels like we know something we actually can't explain. 

It's no secret that man failed to create life. It is the greatest challenge to man, probably never will he succeed at it.

After realizing this, man resorted to preserving life and every day that goes by makes the world more concerned about this noble call. 

We read about the melting ice at Antarctica, feel the rising global temperature and hear about the wild forest fires on radios, televisions and social media, more often than we did in the previous centuries. But what is this all about? Should we really care? Is it anything to do with LIFE?

 

Yes, absolutely yes. We have got to care! All these are threats to life, which I said is a one time occasion. Perhaps the wild fires affect the trees' lives and other peoples' and not yours, or the melting ice is an interesting myth that seems totally far from your world, but hey, look here... 

Ever imagined how a fish struggles for survival in water (its natural home/habitat) that is polluted before life goes out of it?, upto when you see it on the lake shore? Similarly, imagine yourself in a room with no oxygen, you try so hard to breathe but all you take in is carbondioxide!, can't imagine the struggle, trying your best yet your lungs are failing every second that passes! You wish it was something physical that you could fight back, but u are out there fighting air.

That's so very possible in reality however much it needs alot of carelessness and imbecility, but why even think about it when we can actually prevent it?

All this talk about climate change and environmental conservation today is about preserving life. Life is huge to think about and many things affect it. 

However, life on land, life in water, human life and plant life all have one thing in common, they share one planet, planet earth! And if man can't create life and can only preserve it, protecting this planet Earth is paramount. 

Individually, you can't create life too, but when you resort to non-plastic alternatives, you are conserving life. Perhaps a fish that would have eaten the plastic bag won't, simply because it is not available.

We may not really know what life is or be able to explain it thoroughly, but I am convinced that the mystery of understanding life lies in protecting earth, only then will we buy time to study life in its entirety, which will also answer the questions that we couldn't generate.

Think about it, share your thoughts, and do take action.
