Environmental pollution





 Erin Brokovich said in one of her tweets.

"You will miss a lot of things these days if you stop to think. Maybe thats the point.".

Hold your government accountable.

Is it profit before people? Or People above profit?

In case you dont know Erin Brokovich is a movie acted by Julia Roberts that depicts how a small town residents in the US got poisoned by toxic chemical dumped by an irresponsible

 chemical plant that contaminated the drinking water supply.residents suffered nosebleeds,chronic cough,asthma,skin rashes,bronchitis and decades later had cancer,fibromylgia,joint aches.Erin Brokovich was the lawyer who won the class action suit for the victims of the poisoning.Dark Waters is another movie on contamination of water from toxic chemicals.these are man made catastrophic environmental pollution of water resources.

NOW hasnt Japanese victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered enough physical side effects from nuclear radiation.Today,the government of Japan wants to release contaminated nuclear waste water from Fukushima and the Tepco plant work to reduce cost of waste disposal by dumping them into the oceans.It is a threat to food security as marine creatures will be affected.i feel Japanese seafood and food and beverage business will be severely impacted by the irresponsible action.havent we heard about the Minamata disease caused by environmental pollution of mercury in the water?

As if food security is a big enough problem,the war in Ukraine has disrupted supply of staples like wheat and climate change reduced rice exports from India.now a man made disaster is in the making by reducing protein from wild marine catches which is not safe for human consumption.time to be a vegetarian.
