I saddens me how inconsiderate humans are. I walked around the entire beach today and garbage was everywhere. Is it really that hard to pick up your beer bottle and put it back into your boat? NO!
They made a habitat area for the nesting birds that are becoming endangered. On the sign, it stated to not walk in or near the area and to keep your trash out of the wildlife preserve. I cannot begin to tell you how much trash was thrown or blown into the roped off area.
It makes me sick and sad that people can’t be bothered to pick up after themselves, therefore causing the surrounding animals to become endangered or harmed. It is also severely destroying the surrounding environment. Small things like that contribute to global warming spikes and melting caps in the arctic.
I was listening to a podcast the other day in the car. They were talking about how bad pollution around different parts of the world was. In some countries the pollution was so bad it started causing a change in the natural light from dawn to dusk, causing a mix-up for nocturnal animals, severely harming them. This problem is called light pollution.
Light pollution is excessive, misdirected or inappropriate outdoor lighting. Too much light pollution washes out views of the universe, resulting in increases in the energy consumption, interferes with astronomical research, disrupts ecosystems, affects the health and safety of humans and wildlife. It may surprise you to know that light pollution can have as great an impact on the planet as levels of carbon monoxide and other airborne pollutants.
The major problem in stopping this is the difficulty in changing habits with people and the expenses it takes to redesign and replaces what already exists, no matter how destroyed the area is. All we can really do at this point is educate and plan better for our future generations. Attempt to lower the human waste and pollution one small step at a time. Change the type of lighting in our industries, cars, homes, etc. Recycle and reuse more products, lower waste dumping. Attempt to go back from the major industry and factory life we have created for ourselves. Eventually, there won’t be an Earth and we may never find another “Earth” like planet to transfer over too. Every species is beginning to slowly go endangered and extinct, global warming and human footprints aren’t helping them.
There are simple steps in beginning to change our ways. Read up on these things and search simple ways you can begin to help.
