Pollution





















I finished all my tests for this term. At first, I felt giddy with joy, as always.
But, after a while, you would find yourself feeling very bored as you suddenly have nothing to do with all the free time.
Feeling bored today, I went to YouTube and watched National Geographic.
I was struck by how bad pollution is in Earth now.
Pollution is the trigger button for almost all environmental problems such as global warming. Yet, though many of us are aware of the issue, we act as though we are oblivious and unaware of the matter. People still throw rubbish everywhere despite heavy fines implemented, factories still release poisonous chemicals into rivers despite many warnings, and trees are cut down ruthlessly regardless of the implications of doing so.
Take for example, global warming as one of the consequences of pollution. Global warming may be a short word, but its implications are huge. With increasing temperatures, weather would become more violent as Earth tries to balance out the increasing heat on Earth. Properties will be destroyed, lives will be taken away.
One could really see how serious pollution is now when one see that even scientists decide that we will move to other planets one day.
I hope you enjoy the show!

  1. Hi, Hoe Leong.
    I fully agree with your point of view on the pollution that exists in our world these days.
    For example, Genting Highlands, in Malaysia, was a very cooling place about 15 years ago, but now the temperature has raised and it is not as cooling as before. Also, you can see more industrial pollutions there. Therefore, I also hope that humans can put in more effort in protecting the environment or the consequences will be unimaginable, eg "2012".
