Dear Ms. Una,

I am Hidayatun Solehah from class Poly ELM 2. I watched the video of how the
earth and the planets are in this galaxy of the universe, until the destruction of the earth at the
moment and it causes. It got me surprised. Here, I am going to retell the video and my
suggestions dealing with the problem.
Earth and Planet in the universe was created about 4.54 billion years ago. Once
upon a time in this super galaxy every planet there was happy with their lives, Interplanetary
relationships; Earth, Mars, until Pluto so well. The Earth that we live in is especially one of
the planet that is very happy, they are given grace by God in the form of plants, rain, sun and
even moon that illuminate the darkness of the earth at night, Humans which come this earth is
actually a gift also because human nature is a khalifah or leader of in this earth. Khalifah on
earth is human beings are given the duty to keep, exploit nature and prosperity. Howefer,
what happens in the video I saw earlier, some humans are just using the wealth of the earth in
the form of nature, plants and even animals for their own satisfaction. we will see when the
earth is angry, the earth in habited of mountains can erupt, the earth inhabited the ocean can
issue tsunami, don’t blame the earth when he tried to shake us with his earthquake strength,
Humans are not grateful always something overwhelming without thinking about renewing,
utilizing, and prospering nature and other.
Let's take a small example of the floods that occur in this country, the floods does
not just come for no reason, The flood is the impact, the impact of the cause we are doing.
Like littering,illegal logging, even doing development around the shoreline or ocean.
From some of the cases, I have suggestion in the video, at least there are three suggestions for
the cases. The first is to take advantage of this earth for the common good, that is, the
interest of humans and the interest of nature. The Second do renewal, care, and rejuvenation
of the earth, plants, and animals, don’t just want to enjoy and spend it but we must take
care,maintain, and rejuvenate. the Third stop to the behaviors that affect the nature, for
example we as human beings don’t littering,Don’t cutting trees at random, and don’t build a
house around the beach or ocean.
To conclude,the Earth was created as a human dwelling place,But use it sufficiently and don’t
over do it, The task of humans as the Khalifah on earth is to mutual use, mutual care, and
caring for each other.
“Keeping the earth like is keeping your life”
