Pollution: is a world wide problem
in which the air, land and water are contaminated
with human waste and
byproducts. Pollution cause damage to humans and
property and left unchecked will
cause severe damage to our planet
and way of life.
The landfills are rapidly filling, the oceans and
waterways have become a dumping ground for just
about everything, the skies are growing dimmer and
more hazardous as we pour particulates and chemicals
into the
environment.
Diseases have increased. Habitats are
disappearing. Water supplies are becoming hazardous,
with chemicals, waste and evasive plants and
animals. Like Climate Change we are at a nexus of
whether we will have a clean habitable planet or one that
is hazardous to our health and safety.
Solutions are available. What we have to do
is apply the financial, material and personal
resources to prevent further degrading and prevent any
new sources of pollution. Again we have to make hard
choices or face a grim future.
