 THOUGHTS

Climate change is actually a change of mind-set of those whose

life were not in harmony with nature.

At present there are still two defined seasons, rainy and dry, and
for farmers,they still plant and cultivate the soil while fishermen
still go to the sea and catch fish for their sustenance.

People however have changed as a result of influences from urban

centers and kept themselves strangers of nature’s gifts such AS
fresh air, clean running water, and healthy fresh foods.

To avoid therefore the concept of climate change, we should be in

harmony with nature, live with nature, love nature and be
nurtured with nature’s gifts
