All of us know the topics which are always in a public eye. We discuss them with our friends or relatives, and problems always catch an attention better than good news because we may have different opinions on them: is it a real problem? How it will influence our lives? And always there are people who deny everything which may have a bad consequences and on their lives also. Just because it’s easier to ignore the problem, thinking that it will resolve itself, than take action in changing the circumstances.

 

If you, having read these sentences, recognized yourself, I highly recommend reading this text to the end. Today my blog is addressed to sceptics and the topic is “Environmental emergency”.

 

Nowadays “Environment” is one of the most popular themes to write posts on and it really matters. The planet Earth is a home for all of us and people are responsible for the “health” of this planet. But what have we done? Since the invention of automobiles using gasoline for driving and the expansion of production factories, the environment has been significantly affected. As a result of carbon dioxide emissions and atmospheric pollution, the threat of global warming looms over humanity. Its effect is explainable, and the consequences are terrible: melted glaciers at the poles will raise the sea level and some islands and even countries will go under water.

 

This problem is global, it concerns each of us, even if you do not live on that part of the continents which will go under water. A change in the average temperature of the planet will lead to the extinction of certain species of animals and plants. The extinction of some species will entail the disappearing of other animals. Therefore, the human diet will change, and hunger can begin due to a lack of previously consumed substances.

 

The planet can change a lot. It is already happening. While we are inactive and continue to pollute our common home, the process only increases the pace.

 

So, what can we do now? First of all, admit the existence of the problem. Pollution, global warming, deforestation and other environmental problems caused by human will literally affect all of us. There is the principle: “even the slightest change will lead to its consequences”. It’s enough for several people to switch to electric cars instead of using gasoline for driving or to minimize the use of plastic - this will have its effect. Of course, on a global scale, this will be insignificant, but what if each of us tries to do at least a little for the good of the Earth? 

 

All these small things will probably save humanity from extinction. Having improved the condition of the planet, we will help ourselves too. It’s time to stop denying and at least try to change something for the better.

 

What do you think about this problem and are you trying to improve the situation? Tell me in the comment, it will be very interesting for me to know your view on the current situation in the environment of the planet.
