Global pollution is one of the biggest problems facing humanity. Some years ago it was only a warning, but today it is a crude truth with increasingly real and disastrous consequences.
All people talk about the subject; Some people act to fight pollution and others simply have an opinion about it. But how many people really make a difference?
It is surprising to see how there are still people who do not believe in climate change, much less in the greenhouse effect. I still wonder if their ignorance beats them, or they prefer to ignore the problem so they do not to feel guilty.
On the other hand, there are those who only take an advertising advantage of the situation, they pretend to help by doing “humanitarian” campaigns that only have selfishness as their base. And in the end, the exchange action is ephemeral, culminating when the individual’s benefits end.
But fortunately not all people are oblivious to the problem of pollution, many people in recent years have begun to be aware of the situation we are going through and with small actions they perform in their daily lives, they contribute to make a change to greater scale.
But I still can't understand how humanity joins for a sporting event, but not to protect their home, the planet dies shortly and while we care so much about the stock market in New York. Everything happens to be in the background if we lose our planet, because without it there will be no more way to continue thinking about our selfish needs, because we will simply cease to exist.
There are human beings so cruel that they do not mind getting rich at the expense of the global resources of others, by depleting natural resources we are slowly committing suicide. We are altering the cycle of life and if we continue with this path there will only be one possible end, our own extinction. So … What is our limit?
Time passes and losses are bigger. The more damage it causes, the harder it is to go back. And the efforts are in vain if there is no collective union to achieve radical change.
