It is not difficult to get the idea of the cartoonist’s concerns and worries towards the issue of global warming, by the facial expression of the Earth. His face is extremely painful, agony, sadness, and he is sweating. Obviously he is sick and gets a fever and his temperature keeps rising. Personification has been used here in order to help encourage the public to put themselves into the shoes of the earth.
In the meanwhile, the cartoonist expresses his view on the reasons why the problem is getting more serious nowadays. Undoubtedly the irresponsible behaviors of human beings contribute a lot to this problem, indicating by the four small photos shown beside the planet such as the air pollutants the human beings produce, the carbon dioxide emission, their unwisely usage of the energy, etc.
It is really sad to find out some human beings are trying to get rid of the responsibilities for protecting our living environment. Every single of us is obliged to do our best in preserving the precious resources of our Earth. Actually if every single of us is willing to make some simple changes in our habits of daily life, it definitely helps a lot in saving our Earth. For example, we should take public transports instead of motor vehicles every day, in order to reduce the carbon emission. Use our appliances wisely, turn off the light or computer when we need not to use it, in order to conserve more energy. Bring our own bags for shopping, in order to reduce the wastage of plastic bags. Segregate our waste to different recycle bins. All these measures above are simple and easy, but probably these simple changes of a self can make a big change in saving our Earth. So, what are you waiting for? Be a responsible person to save our planet!
