Enviromental awareness

My response after reading the article was that people should start to cultivate habbit to sustain and if possible, improve the enviroment . Infact we should all have cultivated such habbits long ago if not for human greeds, self-indulgence and the lack of vision to roughly forsee the more serious consequences of our own actions going against the mother nature for our own selfish benefits.

In the 21st century no one is able to live without money which is why we go through education to raise our market value as a person to get a well-paid job in the society. The enviromental detioration is not so much contributed by the people who works in the tertiary industry, is the people that work in primary & secondary industry. These people rely on cutting down trees to produce furniture and fishing to sell in the market for our daily consumption as their main source of income this is more commonly practice in the poorer countries as they need money, however they over did it, neglecting the enviroment for thier own economic benefit. As a result of deforestation, it lead to depletion of ozone layer which cause global warming, killing fishes and animals living in the cold regions such Antartica and the North and South Poles due to the loss of habitat. Excessive fishing will lead to extiction of fishes and other sea creatures in years to come, which was addressed in the article Quoting "then we are in the situation where 40years down the line we, effectively, are out of fish". This is a major problem as many people rely on fishes as their souce of food and nutrition.

Its good news that goverment has step up on this issue by introducing the restructuring smaller boats that -once fish stock recover- would be able to land bigger catch, also creation of marine preservation and allowing the fish stock to recover before fishing them again.

Having all said and done, men are not entirely to blame for our enviromental decline. The world we live in cultivates and in a way teaches us to be competitive, survival of the fittest, thus men continue to strive for success by all means even on the expense of the enviroment. Measures and laws implemented by the goverment would only be successful if the people agrees to coorperate even so it would only slow down the process of enviromental detioration for it is an inevitable outcome.

But nonetheless we should all treasure the earth for it supports lives. Everyone has a part to play.
