The Last Green Area

Walking is my routine now days. I walk around in the morning three times a week. The activity makes me feel fit. Though, I do not spend much calories but walking makes me more energetic. That is why I make schedule for walking in the morning. Besides that, I can get the morning sunlight.

This morning I walked near my house. Three years ago, my area was full of green spaces but today there have been a lot of changes. The biggest devastation of green area is caused by housing and TOL street development.

Trucks and heavy equipment dig and bury the trees. Look at the dry land. It is one side of the TOL street. Thousands of hectares of green area have turned into asphalt and concrete.

There is still a left area that is still green. Some big trees are standing strongly in the location. I hope the location can be preserved for the coming years.

I started walking at 7.00 in the morning. I went with my wife. I passed by trough a bridge above the street. The sunlight was warm. It had no cloud on the sky. I thought it was a perfect time to go out and enjoy the warm sunlight.

Today all school students had been holiday. Before the celebration of Iedul Fitri, schools and some offices take a temporary leave of students and employees. So, when I walked the streets seemed empty.

When I moved here in 2015, the location was quiet. There were only few housing residences that were built here. Today is very different. There are one big housing residence is being built in the area. The new TOL street reduced the green area.

I hope the government will stop the development of new buildings here. The absorption of rain water is getting narrower too. This condition can cause lack of groundwater reserves and flooding.

In the end, I would like to share words to motivate all of you. "Walking is cheap sport, it will make your body feel fit all the day".
