Our ecosystem has biotic and abiotic factors; that includes the minerals. Long before, people, especially scientists look for different ways to develop and sustain them. Since technology wasn’t available yet, they create various methods to produce their own kind of accessible materials and proceed with their study. In what they’ve done, life became easier in a sense that we make use of the things they’ve worked hard to be realized. Now the question is,” Has one done anything to maintain them?”

                “yes?” “No?” “Maybe?” The sentence may seem easy but in the deeper sense, it is quite hard to answer it… with no hesitations. One might say, “Yes, of course I’ve done something.” But then the question ‘how’ would follow and all others too; the polls would be endless. The reason why it’s hard for one to answer it straight might be because one does not consider Mineral Development a status quo. People, especially the teenagers who have the major responsibility of taking care of the environment spend a lot of time facing the computers, entertaining themselves with the multifarious fun and satisfaction they bring.

                Instead of using facebook, twitter, tumbler, online blogs and other social networking sites for clique communication and not-so-sensible updates, why not use it for promoting Mineral Development and other things that concern and encourage Ecological Balance? Go read a book, open search engines and research about the world one lives in. It might entertain and give fulfillment as well. Remember that what one has should not be wasted but should be used in a good, healthy manner.

                Never be afraid of being judges by others for being so geeky and so environment-conscious. What could be any cooler than being a scientist-wanna-be and doing one’s part in trying to mitigate his/her surroundings?

                There’s a saying that goes, “ a thing does not look like how it really is, it just depends on how the person sees it”. One has different perspectives and he/she can never let other modify them. Yes, no, maybe! We go back to the possible answers of the raised question. Instead of trying to prove to oneself that the answer is Yes, stop anf reflect on what one has done so far. Don’t push an answer. Don’t be too hard on oneself. Simply look around, see what one can do and do it… with no hesitations. A responsible and aware person does not answer the question with a yes, no, or maybe. He/she thinks hard and answers it with a concrete action.

                So what could be that action? Don’t ask others; ask oneself. Find out what one can do and what one should act. Then one will have the answer.
