It is only enough to go outside to realize the pollution, the visual, sound and environmental contamination and feel it in our body that acts as a machine saturated by work and chaos. It is not only the cruel and dark environmental reports that show us the state we are in, in which the environment is, and the vast disease that the planet presents due to pollution.
Every day we see the destruction of forests, the pollution emitted by large industries from vehicle leaks, and yet we remain petrified and do nothing. We consume resources, we destroy the environment, we waste water, we destroy green fields to make way for the concrete jungle that has invaded us so much and that is not very friendly to our sustainable future. We eat hundreds of species of animals, donning their skins and yet we are proud to wear them on our shoulders. We go out in hunting season to kill animals that only want tranquility and live well within their environment. We end the seas fishing animals to the point of extinguishing them just by giving pleasures in dishes of subjects who do not care but their stomach, we pollute the air when we use products harmful to the environment, how much alone we transport ourselves in vehicles and do We use it on a daily basis, when we leave a light bulb or perhaps an air conditioner on and finish with the glaciers, we are guilty of all this when we decide to end forests to place a group of houses or to give way to livestock and grazing.
The life habit of many species is changing everything due to the destruction we have done to their ecological environments. Each of the inhabitants of the planet causes in one way or another a negative environmental impact on the planet. Only some more than others pollute natural environments to a greater extent, either by their direct action against the environment, or simply by living in developed countries and enjoying the facilities of a modern world, full of pleasures that cause millions tons of waste each year. For example, every time we consume a product bought in a store or supermarket, it is covered by packaging that is generally disposable plastic, causing the accumulation of garbage for this reason to be greater. In the same way, thousands of products contribute enough polluting value to environmental sustainability, to think that it will soon collapse and surely with more problems like the ones we have seen have occurred in recent decades due to the negative ecological impact received. "At two years old, children in the developed world are already responsible for more carbon dioxide emissions, than a person in Tanzania will generate in their entire lives, so very subtly daily they blame the world's large populations as the cause of evil, or those that can totally destroy the planet, but they have not set out to observe that the largest overpopulation does occur in India, but an American spends more resources than hundreds or perhaps thousands of Indians or Chinese gathered; Perhaps it is technological advancement, or "development" that brings these environmental problems and burdens to the planet. It is possibly greed for the profitability of a certain production together with the unconsciousness for the excessive consumption that some subjects have had, which has put in check the security not only of our generation, but of the next generations to come who come with missing items. in the environmental balance.
We have always been shown that the real problem is overpopulation, backed up by statistical figures that almost always protect and impose their truth many times to disorient, manipulate or introduce a theory, a product or an ideal. This is how the FAO itself indicates that the increase in world population represents that arable land per inhabitant decreases constantly. According to this organization, the greatest increase in population density is in the East with 73% and Africa with 66% increase in population in a period of 20 years, having minimal opportunities for agricultural production due to the low quality of arable land and the weak infrastructure. I would ask rather, if the real problem is the world overpopulation or the inequity and bad distribution of the land; Ideally, migration policies should be developed that take into account the relocation of population in uninhabited places and that are ready for a sustainable agricultural exploitation. Probably a global agrarian reform would solve many environmental problems, of famine, violence and conflict by redistributing these lands that are in the hands of landowners who sometimes exploit them in a way that is unsuitable for the ecosystem, placing polluting industries, exploiting mines, among others reasons and that cause externalities to neighboring residents who are already part of the millions of displaced people due to the convalescent environment due to the mismanagement of a few.
But those who look bad when it comes to environmental damage are the poor, the inhabitants of impoverished countries, those who do not have economic opportunities to survive in a "modern and industrialized world". Studies such as those carried out by Reardon and Vosti (1995) indicate the relationship between poverty and environmental deterioration, where it takes as elements of analysis factors such as the market, prices, community and regional infrastructure, population pressure in relation to natural and human resources (health, education, family labor), income generation, consumption and migration. Basically it is obvious that the major pollutants come from the most developed nations as stated above. Not many years ago it was only needed to wear a simple loincloth and a hunting tool. Today many inhabitants need enough to demonstrate modernity to live, from electronic devices (which by the way are quite obsolete, all to encourage consumption), clothing and sumptuous items which are not necessary to possess; and even so, the poor are still blamed for environmental damage, when their economic capacity gives them nothing but to reuse many times what others leave for simple pleasure or vanity. "Even in the most modern societies," blaming the victim "for their own situation and their lack of collective progress is a fairly common phenomenon"
Global trends towards protecting the environment lead to campaigns and actions aimed at maintaining what little healthy environment we still have. Sometimes we are shown theories that blame each of the inhabitants of the planet, but forget to blame large multinationals, transnational companies and other companies present in a certain region or country, knowing that their high degree of reflected pollution in their economic productivity, it gives them to invest in energy and water reduction campaigns aimed at citizens, since these companies need to consume these resources since they are falling short for their production with resources that until 30 years ago they thought they had So much so that their surpluses would assure economic dynamics to their businesses.
Too many challenges for governments and private companies must be forceful to shape concrete solutions, implementing clear and strong sustainable development policies when punishing those who do not comply with them and also to assess the environmental impact tending to generate change social, linked to social responsibility that will build a state of environmental well-being for each and every one of the inhabitants of the planet who breathe the same air. Then it is time to open your eyes to climate change, the food crisis that occurs in many regions of the world and that tends to expand and in the face of shocks due to environmental conflicts that generate violence that seriously affects the health of the planet when it is injured. by outbreaks of terror by some residents of this global village.
I don't want a bad environment for myself and my children! I want a healthy complete environment for us and the generations to come!
