The future risk of our planet from environmental pollution

Jocabed Vazquez Gregorio

Throughout our lives, the slogan "Let's take care of the planet" is already a recurring theme and known to all, however, how many times is it really given the attention and importance that the theme requires? Realistically, very few.

In the country, pollution is at its peak, and the factors that have caused it are increasingly growing; factors such as excessive logging, pollution of rivers, lakes and seas have caused the extinction of plants and animals. This is a very worrying situation, because it could mean that in the future there will be no plants to feed us, we will not have healthy air to breathe and the world as we know it will disappear.

If we start to analyze the situation in the not too distant future, we would have to take into account that we will no longer have the possibility of drinking drinking water, since it is increasingly monopolized by large industries.

Likewise, we must take into account that the ozone layer has deteriorated, to such an extent that scientists have reported that it has worrying fissures, since this will cause ultraviolet rays to reach people directly, since we will not have the protection that the ozone layer gave us, so we will be exposed to severe skin diseases.

There are many other consequences that will be in the future if we do not take action in the present, so it is important to get down to work to save the planet and stop being oblivious to environmental problems, or if so, what future will await them? to the next generations?

Among the possible actions to be carried out is, mainly, the implementation of the rule of the “three Rs”; that is, Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse.

Likewise, it is essential to spread the importance of caring for the environment, for which reforestation campaigns could be carried out, as well as implementing a culture of caring for the environment in schools.

It is necessary to stop throwing garbage into the seas, since species tend to eat it or get stuck in it, causing their death and, in the long term, their extinction.

We also have to work together with the authorities to stop illegal hunting and excessive felling of trees, setting aside "projects" that put the natural environment at risk.

That is why we invite readers to become aware of our present in order to change the future of our planet, or else there will be no future for the new generations.
