Merry Christmas to all
As I was taking photos of this air pollution, people who were watching why? I said, the ST Yolanda that hit Central Visayas on November 8, 2013 came from carbon emissions/air pollution and many do not see that connection. The tricycle driver, the jeepney driver, the bonfire maker does not see that.
The effect of what we do does not affect us immediately. The garbage and plastic that we throw carelessly away do not come back to us, until say one year after when it floods.
And so with air pollution. The heart disease and cancer that air pollution can cause may show up five years from now from those who inhale the foul air.
What about the global warming (from greenhouse gases resulting from carbon emission/pollution)? Well it is here it struck our brethren last November 8, 2013.
At what cost: 6,000+ lives lost and billions in damages. It toppled electric towers, it meant at least 2 billion pesos and destroyed power generators. It is striking back power companies using diesel, bunker fuels, and coal. Why cant we wake up to the fact. As of now, it means less demand and less sales, if not losses.
This site think we can understand this.
