Elon Musk’s initiative to Mars in order to preserved human species and make it multi-planetary, the establishment of the UN Environmental Protection group and its continuing campaigns, programs and reach agreements, the establishment of UNICEF, advances of research and technology on environments and health, and the voices of movements and causes for actions are all indicators that something went wrong in this Earth.
The Real Problems of Today: Sickness and disease
What should be in the Future: People will no longer suffer from disabilities or get sick. Even the number 1 enemy, the ‘death’ will be no more.
As we knew it already, human illness refers to any disorder that causes discomfort, impairment, depression, social issues, or death to the person affected, as well as related symptoms for others who come into contact with the person. Diseases have the potential to affect people not only physically, but also psychologically, since contracting and dealing with a disease will change a person's outlook on life. Here are few facts about diseases, based on the data of UNICEF:
Malaria, influenza, diarrhoea, HIV, and tuberculosis are all particularly dangerous to children under the age of five.
Pneumonia is the most common infectious cause of death in children under the age of five, killing over 800,000 children each year. Every 39 seconds, an infant dies from pneumonia in many parts of the world, despite the fact that the illness is completely preventable and effectively treated with antibiotics.
Diarrhoea claimed the lives of almost 480,000 small children worldwide in 2017, accounting for 8% of all deaths of children under the age of five. The majority of diarrhoea deaths occur in children under the age of two who live in South Asia or Sub-Saharan Africa.
Easy, inexpensive treatments like oral rehydration salt and zinc may have saved these children's lives.
Those are just a few of the health issues worldwide. Today, we are facing the pandemic COVID - 19 and its variants. Looking at the statistics of those infected are so horrible. Even the vaccination solution program led by WHO still has glitches such as complications of those who were vaccinated with or without covid 19 infections. This undermines the trust of few regarding the program. Whatever humans do to advance our health system, still has a long way to go.
Here’s the question, until when that NO resident will say “I am sick”?
The Real Problems of Today: Damage to the environment
What should be in the Future: The earth will become green again, and become a global paradise for humans to inhabit.
Today, many have traveled to many places, gardens, zoos, natural sceneries, and museums to see wonderful species of plants and animals, breathtaking wonders of nature, and experience the relief and energy that the creations can give to mankind.
On the other hand, many also suffered the negative effects of the damaged environment, and this includes other living things that co-exist with humans. A lot of environmental issues brought to different platforms and movements.
The UN is attempting to resolve global environmental issues. The UN is addressing global issues such as ozone layer degradation, hazardous waste, forest and wildlife destruction, and air and water contamination as an international mechanism for developing consensus and reaching agreements. The issue of environments is a fact. On December 2, 2020, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, have these words,
“humanity is waging war on nature”
nature was already “striking back with growing force and fury”
“making peace with nature is the defining task of the 21st century. It must be the top, top priority for everyone, everywhere.”
What do you think? Can we still save Earth? The program related to environment protection has existed for decades but is proven NOT ENOUGH to solve the crises in the environment.
What we can do as individuals?
Still, a strict implementation by the governments, and willful heeding of the minimum health standard protocol can preserve the lives of many including that of our family, friends, and workmates.
Incorporating environmental care awareness, adoption of sound practices, concrete and specific actions towards environmental care into family values and activities can help a lot in reducing or slowing down the wrath of nature.
