A look outside my window,finding various of changes has occurred.You can say that's nothing,but I say there's something going on,and it's turning into a critical level,which is endangered to our lives,so,prepare your mouse and scroll down to read.Notice the black black thing there on the bamboo tree,there's a bird nest hanging on it.Notice the black figures on the bamboo tree,there are two birds on it

nd the nest belongs to them
I know what you're thinking right now,there's no big deal about nest and birds on bamboo trees.But look carefully,It's the bamboo tree at my house.Think about it,Why don't they build their nest somewhere else,but at housing area?That is because there are no trees left for them to build their nests d.Nd this is what happen when logging continues,and Logging too has made its mark in the degradation of nature. ( I bet you already know the effects, guys. So needless for me to say anymore!) Malaysia is forced to become a dumping site to the millions of tons of rubbish thrown every week due to her sharp increase in the population. This has become a major headache to everyone in the country.

The most popular dumping site in Malaysia

Rivers flowing with rubbish in it,That's what we see these days

As Malaysia is fast becoming an industrial country, many of her rivers have become polluted due to the many wastes that have been poured out into her rivers. Such as the paper making industry, it requires chemicals, often poisonous in its production. The rivers are used as an outlet for the chemicals to drain away, in turn harming the waters and the lives that revolve around them.

There are many ethnic aboriginal groups that still exist in Malaysia and the people depend on the rivers and streams to survive. They depend on the river for food, water supply for drinking, bathing and for their crops. the river happens to be the main center of their livelihood and without the rivers the whole tribes cannot survive as their ancestors had done generations before them, all of them depending on the rivers.

The rivers have become a tourist attraction and this has prompted the construction of hotels and resorts around the area. As a result, many of the forests surrounding the river areas have been chopped down. The surrounding soil have no roots to hold on to and soon erode when the rains come. The soil runs into the rivers and soon the rivers become murky and shut out all the sunlight from reaching the aquatic life in the rivers and streams. This causes them to die.

A good example is the construction of a new golf course near the waterfall at tourist attraction Fraser’s Hill in the state of Pahang, causing it to become extremely murky and dirty due to the silt and sand that comes from the construction. The waterfall which has been the centrepoint of the hill has now lost all its attraction just because of the overwhelming need to attract more tourists to the place by building more facilities.

I even found a kid-cockroach crawling over my table when eating in a cafe this Thursday,this is not cool at all
That made me wonder where did it come from,and how dirty the cafe is.

Komtar,known as the skyscrappers of Penang.Even in small cities like Georgetown is undergoing
major environmental pollutions,then you can already imagine what is happening in big cities like Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia has risen to the industrial age, not wanting to be left behind in the dark ages anymore, but at the cost of the environment. Many industrial zones have been approved by the government to be set up in mostly forestland and uninhabited areas. One very good example of the industrial zone is of Shah Alam in the state of Selangor. As a result, trees has been cut down to accommodate towards the building of large industrial factories.

Building skyscrapers like Komtar and KLCC,maybe a pride to our country,may help to attract tourists,but can they attract people to travel to our country when our country is so polluted and I can see no one in the government doing their job to protect the environment first before cutting on more trees for more lands for industrial use.

If not,skyscrapers are just sky-crappers!
