Pollution is one of the worst form of environmental degradation, this does not only destroy the ecosystem and all forms of live but it goes beyond that to affecting us in one way or another....
However it's so funny how we pay less attention to this things that are gradually destroying our environment, affecting our health in many ways than we can imagine, it's too obvious and it seems the so called large industries care less about the environmental impact of what they are doing... how it's affecting the people's means of livelihood .
"On 24 1989, the news broke that an environmental disaster in Alaska prince William sound, the oil tanker Exxon valdez had run aground on the bligh reef, damaging the haul of the ship, rupturing eight of the vessels eleven cargo tank, As a result 10.8 million of the ship approximately 53 million gallons of oil poured out into the sea..the negative impact on the area was immense, fishing and tourism came to halt harming the local economy, the environment suffered, experts estimate wildlife lose at 250,000 seabirds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, 22 killer whales and billions of eggs for food-fish such as salmon and herring, though it wasn't the largest oil spill in record, experts consider it the worst oil spill in terms of environmental damage.
The truth is has life evolves and industrialization continues, there are bound to be more and more of such cases of oil spill causing damages to lives in the sea and the environment at large

In Nigeria We can't recall many of the oil spill that has affected many lives especially in the Niger delta region of the country, this has affected the people living in this areas, affecting their source of income. the oils pill had affected the sea and lots of fishes were lost, the farmland damaging people's crops and agriculture produce,
This not to make mention of the Air pollution that is on going almost everyday, in major cities, around us, we find these Industries blaring out carbons into the air. Which is very dangerous to health and to top things up the trees that are suppose to absorb all this and release more oxygen back into the air, we are cutting them down day by day for fire wood furniture making etc,
You see that we ourselves, we are not really doing anything to curb this negative environmental degradation, there is no way of stopping this Industries from operating, and so the best way to handle this is to ensure we keep and sustain our forest, plans more trees maintaining a healthy Environment is the healthy way to lose
There's what is called air quality, if this is checked you find out that we are just surviving by the mercies of God in heaven if not, we are literally damaging our environment with our own hands.
Then what I hate the most is land pollution i can't stand a stench environment, the other day I visited a dump site and you need to see how bad the place was, and funny enough there are people scavenging some valuables in there, like how do they survive?...
I strongly believe its in our hands to correct all of these mishap, I believe together we can rewrite the wrongs, stop deforestation, plant more trees, also to these industries human life is more important, government should endeavor to sign into law safety parameters for industries operating in these local region for the safety of the people living and working there, its all start with you with your immediate environment, let's join hands to gather and fight off environmental pollution....
