Let's clean up our environment. Let's clean up our bodies, but most importantly, let's not permit our babies of the future to be polluted before they are even born.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If ever we had proof that our nation's pollution laws aren't working, it's reading the list of industrial chemicals in the bodies of babies who have not yet lived outside the womb.
We must conserve our environment and pass it on to our children in as good or better condition than it was passed to us.
That we have children coming into this world already polluted, at the same time we don't know what the effects of that pollution will be on their mental and physical development, is both bad policy and immorally wrong.
When we realize we can make a buck cleaning up the environment, it will be done!
Sadly, in the name of progress, we have polluted the air, water, soil and the food we eat.
Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.
If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.
We all recognize that in recent decades, many important achievements have helped create a cleaner, healthier environment, yet our national needs in environmental health are not being fully met.
We're creating these massive urban areas in the Third World. It's like you take the entire population of California and put it in one city. Then you remove basic sanitation and medical services, and you have a ticking biological time bomb.
Environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented.
