"Our hearts needs Air"


"Since ancient times the heart has been considered to be at the center of human life. When the prophet Jeremiah spoke of the heart as "desperately wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9), he was speaking more of human attitudes than physiology. Nevertheless, both wrong attitudes and a literally broken heart are indeed a kind of "thorn in the side" of humankind."
What does this have to do with our environment?! Well, for me it has to do with everything most especially with our environment and for our natural resources, particularly with the air we everyday breath. With clean and properly organized environment, there would be free from dirt, there would be a graceful form of air, and healthy human bodies as a result. Yet nevertheless with unorganized and polluted environment, people will certainly have health problems most especially when it comes to our heart. Most of the people, especially with those people who are living for a long time, they would prefer going to places with clean air and surrounding, and some people would sometimes get irritated and agitated of what and where they are staying.
Air is an important resource that is needed to sustain life. As human beings clean air is vital for our health and well-being and is required by us virtually every minute of the day. Because of the importance of clean air to our health, the environment, and even our economy, higher leveled people should do some things to take care of these things and have better and organized surroundings.
One of the most important components of air is oxygen. Human beings and other animals use oxygen to convert the "fuels" in our bodies into energy that we use. Carbon dioxide is then produced by us as a by-product of respiration, as we convert the stored energy in our bodies into the energy for our activities.
In contrast, plants will actually take-in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a by-product during the day, as they use a process called photosynthesis to convert energy from sunlight into energy stored as simple sugars.
Air is a mixture of many different gases. In addition to the main components, there may be many other chemicals in the air that we breathe, but these are typically a very small percentage of the volume.
Hence, we should be aware of our surroundings and place where we live and stay especially for children who get sickness easily, for the benefit of our good and for our health.

Very well said. I like your metaphors and the comparison of our hearts to air.

I believe that our whole body needs clean air so that our body would function properly. We may not feel the effects of polluted air on our bodies right now but there may come a time that people will regret on polluting our environment. Soon enough clean air would be difficult to find since even the provinces are already getting polluted. The people who would be greatly affected would be the next few generations. There may come a time when people would live only till twenty or thirty years old at a maximum since not enough good air is being supplied to their bodies. Although there are technological advances in science and medicine, we may still never be sure. It is still best to have clean natural air to breath for our hearts and bodies.

We need air to survive. We should plant more trees to clean the air that we breathe
