Brickfields and it’s impacts on our nature
Date: 19th May, 2022. Thursday
We are now living in a world where a coolest city, a richest city is considered by the count of skyscrapers. Tall buildings and higher construction are the necessity of an upgraded world. Even in the rural areas, people are using better constructed home to live. Those tin shed houses, muddy houses, houses made of straws are getting decreased day by day. That position has been over taken by bricks and costly timbers. Mostly bricks and today my topic is based on it. I'm going to talk about bricks, it’s making process and the impacts of it in our lives. So let's ride on the journey and have a look at one of most useful material of construction world. I'm with you always and will narrate it. Let's start, shall we?
Bricks are made of clay or mud, whatever you say. In a required process they are made and then sold to the buyers. Depending on the price, it is made in various options. So the qualities vary from one to another. The mud, ash and chalk make it more strong and we get the important thing to build our homes or other buildings. It sounds very fantastic till now, right? Let me show you the ugly side of it too.
Every thing has two sides of it's own. If you see the beneficial at one point, get ready to embrace the another part too. The impact of making bricks are too heavy on nature. It feels like we are making our own graves with it. We are destroying the mother nature for our own profits and then mother nature shows us it’s revenge. Let me brief it more.
Yesterday, one of my cousin visited me and insisted me to visit his area. I was feeling bored while staying at home. I agreed with him and went away. In the afternoon, we went out on his bike to witness the nature. He informed me that a brickfield has been made in the nearest part of their area. That made me curious. I insisted him to go there first. We went there and I saw the area. Have a look.
The whole area which I once knew as a playground for the local children, has suddenly turned into a commercial zone. I could hear loud sounds before reaching that area. Yes, the work was going on. People were busy in making bricks. Millions of raw bricks were there and ready to go for the final procedure. Big trucks were loading and unloading muds at one corner. Day labourers were working hard and making things faster for producing more bricks. The whole area was surrounded with broken twigs, dry woods, coals which made me sure that they were using them to make fire. Chaos, screaming, extra sounds of machines made that area unbearable for me. I started walking outside of that area and found a place where broken bricks are stored. Wind was blowing fast and dust was flying here and there. Even my cousin felt something went into his eyes. That was a complete mess. We left that place immediately.
To make bricks, we need muds. To burn them and turn them in bricks, we need fuel and that’s why we need more woods. Black smoke and dust will occur while making bricks, so we need an open space out of locality. All the processes are required to make brickfield. Well it's not easy to do so. For mud, we are destroying our lands. We are digging here and there. we are cutting down hill tracts. A huge amount of trees have been cut down for this too. Now we all know, it is definitely a blockage for having a beautiful environment. We are damaging our environment and making tall buildings to live peacefully. We are increasing the temperature by cutting down trees and then living in a room with air conditioner. Hypocrisy at it’s best.
We should be make things effective in a positive way. Brickfields are polluting our environments and we are doing nothing. Well I say, come and face the reality. Sooner we will be facing the mass destruction unless we take proper steps to stop it or make a better way to live.
Let me thank to my greatest friends, @Talecharm @BCH_LOVER @Theblackdoll @LeticiaFelize @Jelena & @itsmeCguro who always supported me. I'm sorry to wish you lately.
All the images here, belong to me.
It really is sad that we human are the ones destroying our mother earth
