We are now living in a world where pollution is adversely affecting everything in nature, and we're seeing terrible effects like acid rain and global warming. It would be splendid if we could live on this remarkable planet without destroying it in the process. Envision being able to walk around a city centre and enjoy clean air that contains no poisonous toxins caused by our pollution, wouldn't it be great? But this is no longer possible; we humans have made certain that with the pollution we've created we'll be breathing in airborne poisons, which can impair our habitat and ultimately our health.
Our enormous oceans, which make up the majority of the earth's surface, are being poisoned by pollutants, mainly toxins and oil, which have a devastating effect on the life found in the ocean and as a result of that it affects us. Fishing used to provide many people with an income, but pollution is rapidly putting paid to those livelihoods. Fishing has provided for the food needs and the well-being of so many communities for so long, that it almost seems unthinkable that today we are observing its demise. Anyone wanting to be persuaded of how destructive oil spills are, need look no further than the recent Deepwater Horizon catastrophe, which cost billions to subsequently fix and left many unemployed. The complete ecosystem was damaged from the large numbers of wildlife that perished, avian as well as marine, causing a backlash along the whole of the food chain. A depressing example of humanity prioritising its short-term necessity for oil, a dead substance, over the well-being of the earth and its other inhabitants.
Billions upon billions are allocated to oil exploration when the money could be used investing in alternative green energy methods or research into green energy. Current green energy options, which do no damage to the environment, are capable of delivering a lot of our energy needs. Take solar panels for example, they will work effectively in sunlit locations and they can produce electricity as well as heat up water. Wind turbines are another way of utilizing green energy as they just require wind to make them generate energy. So long as the wind blows - and a number of turbines work effectively at lower wind speeds - a wind turbine will work, which is a neat advantage. We should understand that the time to carry out an ambitious green energy program is now, given the environmental damage caused by oil, and the limited supply thereof. If we did that, global warming and also the other ruinous results of pollution could very well be stopped, and just possibly reversed.
Many short term advantages will accrue to us, and we'll be giving future generations many benefits. We desire for our children to grow up surrounded by all the beauty the world is blessed with, happy and without fear of violent, distressing weather events and food shortages. But unless we begin living green and caring for our environment, this won't happen.
It will be worth all the money, time and huge effort required, if we can stop the relentless march of the harm we are doing to our planet.
