VERY Important Message
Please, don't just "not-read" this, or ignore this. Two of the most important things that we have on this planet, are clean water and air. I live in a Scandinavian country, considered by many other countries, to be "one of those countries" where the quality of air and water is very high. There have been studies that proved that the above belief, was true, BUT, only in consideration, to what's left of our planet. Why have I been gone from this blog? Last year, I got very sick. I noticed, that the environment that might be "OK" for healthy people, is DEADLY to the sick. During the winter, I had to keep my apartment airtight —not because it was cold—but because the air was so polluted from all the heating-devices. I couldn't go out. My lungs would hurt every day, and I nearly had to call an ambulance at one point. What I realized was, that when there is bad air outside, we can just lock ourselves in our houses until the wind eventually blows it away. But the other animals cannot do that. Nor can the trees or plants. They are constantly exposed to this. ONE DAY, not only the SICK humans, will have trouble breathing on this planet. Let's hope that day is just in my imagination. But it's not. In some parts of the world, this is already reality, for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. When is it your part of the world's turn to go? IT HAPPENS FASTER THAN YOU THINK! And when it happens: YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. Pollution is not just about destroying "nature", it's about destroying OURSELVES. Please, all I want to say is: don't take clean air (and water) for granted. Think about this. Take a moment. Is this really a "Very Important Message"? What's more important? That you can breathe? There are solutions to our problems. Maybe you think: this will not happen to me, or my part of the world, but if we continue like this, it will. And that is why I wanted to borrow the attention of your mind for one minute. YOUR(!) MIND. YOUR LUNGS. YOUR PLANET. And YOU can prevent this horrible dystopia that awaits us if you DON'T. I'm no longer sick, but I learnt something. I've been an idiot, putting myself over the problems of earth. I can't just have a blog, and not post anything about this. I just can't. Because this is an extremely urgent matter, in 2016.
