Word of Policy

Globally nature is being increasingly impacted by man-made emissions, spillage and effluent, two of the most apparent effects being climate change and acid rain. If only we could manage to exist without negatively affecting mankind's home, the beautiful green planet, Earth. How wonderful it would be if we could breathe natural air in our towns, uncontaminated by poisons and toxins resulting from our way of living. We're already paying the price, though, for the contamination we keep producing; the environment and our physical well-being is being threatened by the air's toxicity. Our enormous oceans, which make up the majority of the earth's surface, are being poisoned by pollutants, mainly toxins and oil, which have a devastating consequence on the life found in the ocean and as a result of that it affects us. Many fishing jobs that were dependent on the healthy bounty of the sea have been wiped out. Fishing has been the source for the food needs and the well-being of so many communities for so long, that it almost seems unimaginable that today we are observing its demise. Still fresh in our memories is the Deepwater Horizon oil leak, which gave adequate testimony to the disastrous effect of oil spills, causing the loss of many jobs and costing billions of dollars. The entire ecosystem was damaged through the large numbers of wildlife that perished, avian as well as marine, causing a backlash along the whole of the food chain. All of this just to obtain oil, a pathetic instance of humans putting themselves before other creatures and the planet. Vast amounts of money are invested in oil exploration when the money could be invested investing in alternative green energy methods or research into green energy. Green energy has absolutely no impact on the environment and can still furnish a lot of energy for people. Take solar panels by way of example, they will work great in sunlit locations and they can produce electricity as well as heat up water. Wind turbines are another way of managing green energy as they only need wind to make them generate energy. The plus side of wind turbines is they work 24/7, providing there is adequate wind. The time to put into practice an ambitious green energy program is now, given the environmental damage caused by oil, and the limited supply thereof. Possibly then we can halt or possibly even reverse the horrific effects of global warming and pollution. The first beneficiaries will be ourselves, and of course our descendants in the longer term. As an alternative to being at the mercy of intense weather patterns and harsh living conditions, our children, and their children, could live contentedly in a clean, beautiful, and bounteous environment. Beginning to live green, in addition to looking after the environment, is the only way we can ensure this. It will take time, money and much hard work to try and control the damage of our actions on the environment, but it will be worth it.
