Passage D. POLLUTION

The complacent of the Filipino majority may not have be awakened yet
to the reality of a ravaged environment: nonetheless the evidence must be
overemphasized. Automotive vehicle for one reportedly contribute 94.6 million
tons of a waste released into their air each year, a commuter can only imagine
how polluted that air that gets into the respiratory system is.
Pollution experts are inclined to single out man as the culprit of his own
destruction. Man rights referred to as “messy animal” has helped being about
until environment decay.
Imperilled by the pollution of air, water and land are not only human lives.
The marine species as well as the flora and fauna are just adversely affected.
Mass suicides of fishes and whales have been witnessed along Australian and
American shorelines.
The mushrooming of factories and plants along the river banks have been
already largely responsible for the pollution of the different bodies of water,
indiscriminate disposal of industrial waste makes festering sinks of the rivers. Too
much dumping of industrial waste renders to water stagnant. Many of the rivers
that used to flow along industrial banks can use some dredging and yet what
good will dredging of a river do if in no time at all it will serve again as dumping
basin? The initiative has to come from the factory owners.
A great number of scientist like or think that the new technology can be
calle upon to check the impending pollution disaster, other are of the opinion
that few births and less gadgetry may provide the answers to the devastating
dilemma. It cannot be denied, however that mans waste ways call for some
measure of discipline.
Man’s brutality toward his environment will only lead to his unmarking. It is
ironical indeed that who was created to have dominion over every living
creature on earth should one day be overpowered by an environment he has
helped to pollute. The catastrophe can hopefully still be overed.
