Environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no doubt that environmentally related diseases will continue to pose problems in the future.
The pollution problem is always seen as someone who was doing something bad that has to be stopped. To me, pollution is doing something bad and good. People don't pollute because they like polluting. They do it because it's a cheaper way of producing something else.
There is a growing recognition of the importance of really bringing pollution under control.
The strongest governments on earth cannot clean up pollution by themselves. They must rely on each ordinary person, like you and me, on our choices, and on our will.
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.
Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.
The most important pathological effects of pollution are extremely delayed and indirect.
We need to accept the seemingly obvious fact that a toxic environment can make people sick and that no amount of medical intervention can protect us. The health care community must become a powerful political lobby for environmental policy and legislation.
Decades of scientific research has proven that carbon pollution is harmful to human health and causes global warming.
It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
