New health scares and threats threatened us each day.We cannot be sure that we are perfecly safe in a war-free country. Seen here in China, green waters become their daily intake and supplement of their 8-glasses-of-water.In my opinion, China must do something about its potable water.This is much more endangering than anything else as water is drunk by everyone that has access to it. The mere thought of our water being contaminated by algae such as this,would be a nightmare. Many people would fall sick and there might be another epidemic similar to the Birdflu and Sars cases.
We think about many ways to fight crime, terrorists and diseases. Now we may just have to think of ways to deter and fight back possible effects of the water we drink. As seen here, the cause of the algae infested waters are unknown.How are they to fix this problem?It is not easy to clean such a large water body that many people rely on for their daily use.
Our air is already very polluted and we need clean air to allow easy breathing.Now our waters are being polluted. Air and water is essential for our survival and without them we will die.Humanity is really taking advantage of their resources.We MUST remember that or resources are very limited (in this case of potable water,yes it is limited. As much as 3/4 of earth is covered by water). Slowly the Earth is dying on us due to our ignorance.If you realise,the weather is getting from bad to worse,where the temperature is increasing. Perhpas signs such as these will open society's eyes to start doing their part in preserving our environment hence preserving our needs.
Additionally here is a reminder to all who read this article to WEAR GREEN this Friday,Saturday and Sunday.To support Live Earth! (:

We are facing environmental problems everyday, be it pollution or the HOT issue : global warming.
Most of these problems are caused by us as we sacrifice the environment for our own desires. Factories manufactured goods in large quantity and dispose the waste materials into nearby rivers, fuel-burning emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, this is how the environment is destroyed in our own hands.
There is a need for countries all over the world to do something to salvage the situation. Countries have to impose strict polices/actions so as to ensure that pollution rate would be kept at a minimum. Thus, everyone has a part to play.
So, start today! Bear in mind the 3Rs: recycle, reuse, reduce!
Thtas right. Everyone has a part to play.As cliche as that may sound it is true. We often see ourselves as insignificant to make a change in the world.It all starts small and it becomes something significant. The world is no longer as pure as it was before. The maintenance of our world and conservation of it concerns us. We will be living in filth and polltion if we do not start stop destroying our environment.In the end it is us that benefit if we begin to take inniative to do the small bits that can perhpas save the Earth for a few more days,months or years.
