The very air (Oxygen) that sustains man's
life is under a serious threat. He's the cause: engaging in activities that emit
hazardous pollutants into the atmosphere. Unknowingly or knowingly, he breathes
them in and contracts health complications - internal organs being affected the
most.

The air in some localities or a part of
it is contaminated with the smell of urine, human excreta and decomposed animal
remains. And surprisingly, people sell their goods in such an atmosphere. What a
pity!
Everyone must be aware that he/she is
vulnerable and not immune to that which comes from above. The environment, the
atmosphere, the air we breathe in, are all above us. Any unnatural
means, dominantly through pollution, which comes into contact with the environment
and the air, threatens man's survival. Since man is a biological or a natural
being, so to is the environment. Man is himself the environment. As he takes care
to love and nourish himself, so must he do same to the environment.
It is often said that "destroy the
last plant and the very last man dies". Doesn't this wise saying echo
a sense of urgency for people all over the world to protect their
environment? The world today has been recording high degrees of strange health
complications than in "traditional" times. Modernity and its
mind-blowing inventions comes with advantages and disadvantages.The
latter, however, outweighs the former...an opinion, so what of yours?
Those living in the cities despite their
"knowledge on healthy living", wonder how and why most village folks
live much longer. The truth is, their interactions with the environment is more
favourable than to city dwellers.
Let's stop polluting the atmosphere so
that we can enjoy fresh breathing air.
