Question

B

    In the movie 2012 , people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and con?structions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disasters. Luckily, they are just the directorV imagination,but the present situation is not heading for a positive direction, either.

    Take my own experience in Alaska as an example. Once I took a trip to the glacier(冰川).Along the way there stood signposts marking the snowline of different years. They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when I fi?nally saw melting glaciers. My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second.

    Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our hu?man impact. Furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and that's about the population of the entire Italy. According to studies* if the tem?perature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050， some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water.

    Our fortune is in our own hands. It depends on us to shape our future, to re?duce future human impact and to find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. Therefore, it's time for action to be taken right now. Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water. Let re?cycling become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away. Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place. It might cost more time for now, but it's to the benefit of a permanent future. Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoiding destroying them.

In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean. The earth does not belong to us. On the contrary, we belong to the earth. Please bear in mind that the earth is our home.  It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012 from becoming a reality,
