In 1970 an environmental movement began, this year millions of Americans filled the streets to protest a healthy and much more sustainable environment. From the beginning this movement managed to raise awareness in both ordinary people and politicians, this movement influenced the creation of EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the approval in the USA of many environmental laws to conserve water, air and endangered species. extinction.
A day to reflect
There are many celebrations in the world, but none is as important as giving thought, a whole day thinking about the damage we have done to the environment, starting to care more about the planet, informing us about how we can help and what we have been doing wrong, we We are not owners of the planet earth, we are inside it, we are its guests, I know that creating a greater awareness especially of companies that generate emissions and large tons of garbage is not so simple, but it is time for governments to contain regularizations more strict and less permissive about the control and management of waste and emissions into the atmosphere.
Let's take care of it
We must bet on a better, cleaner, healthier planet, with sustainable development, we must internalize the importance of maintaining the natural balance with the economic, a better handling of raw material, the beginning of an era of recycling and re-use, bet on the conservation and proper management of natural resources, a controlled and non-massive exploitation of forests, we must link more with the planet we live, our house, because there is no planet B or plan B.
Damages that we have caused to the planet
Listing them would not be feasible, but some of the most tangible are the reduction of the ozone layer caused by the accumulation of thousands of toxic gases such as CFCs, acid rain produced by industrial sulfur dioxide, tons of garbage and plastic that accumulate in the land and the oceans, sonic pollution affecting the health of human beings, soil contamination by toxic substances such as pesticides, air pollution due to the deterioration of air quality, water contamination, excessive population growth, extinction of thousands of species , desertification, deforestation and stop counting.
We are poisoning ourselves, we are inside a bubble of pollution whose levels depend only on ourselves and on nobody else, we protect the planet, we are going to give love to something that gives us life, it gives us the soil to harvest food to locate our houses, we gives water that is life, gives us oxygen to breathe, we support our deepest love over our home, so that future generations do not have to live with a mask, so they can breathe the air that even today we can breathe, to take care of planet and wish her a happy day!
