Pollution

Pollution has been on the earth since 1948 and has developed ever since. Right now in 2021, pollution is developing at an incredibly high speed, hurting animals, forests, and even us, and whilst pollution isn’t that much of a threat to human beings now, eventually, it will begin to hurt us and animals and forests.

Here is an extract from “The Guardian about what the world will probably be like if pollution stays with us,

More than 160,000 people could die over the next decade from strokes and heart attacks caused by air pollution, a charity has warned. That is the equivalent of more than 40 heart and circulatory disease deaths related to air pollution every day.

Jacob West, executive director of healthcare innovation at the BHF, said: “Every day, millions of us across the country are inhaling toxic particles which enter our blood and get stuck in our organs, raising our risk of heart attacks and stroke. Make no mistake, our toxic air is a public health emergency, and we haven’t done enough to tackle this threat to our society.

“We need to ensure that stricter, health-based air quality guidelines are adopted into law to protect the health of the nation as a matter of urgency. Clean air legislation in the 1950s and 1960s, and more recently the smoking ban in public places, show that government action can improve the air we breathe.”

If this is the case with air pollution alone, imagine what water pollution and the 5 other types of pollution will do to our earth.

Our earth deserves to be treated with care and if humanity hurts it, we will eventually not be able to survive on this earth.
