Pollution

Pollution is a worldwide problem which does not respect national boundaries and is likely to intensify as the spread of industrial development continues. BBC News looks at some of the places around the world which are hardest hit by pollution.



When I read this new I was surprised that Spain where too on this map of pollution. Later there explian that there was the major oil spill, in 2002, who was polluted more than 3,000 km of coastline. The spill is estimated to have killed 300,000 seabirds, making it one of Europe's worst wildlife disasters. The economic cost of the accident to fishing and tourism has been put at about 5bilion euros.

I think that pollution is a worldwide problem and this map show it's perfectly. In nearly every continent (except Australia) there are pollution problems.

In my opinion we, the humans, are very destructive. Yesterday I saw a reportage of the evolution. One thing that I remember very clearly was a sentence from a scientific:

- The Neanderthals lived a long time and they mostly ate meat. But in all the history they never die-out any species of animals. The "modern human" lived a "short time" and has made that every day die-out two species. The question is: are we genetically destructive?

I think that he has right with his question: maybe we are automatically destructive. I don't like that humans think that they are the most important existence on the world. There are a lot of interesting plants and animals. We should learn more about the nature that would help us a lot to understand or to make our life more practical.

I took this photo (on the left) yesterday. That also shows that pollution affects everywhere that it isn't only on the jungle and on the news in television. It affect all the people around the world and we shouldn't ignore it.
