No To Toxic Waste At Our Oceans And Seas: Barrel Of Pain By Crosby, Stills And Nash




You know I've never been a neat freak. If you ever stop by my workplace, there are papers and scattered all over my desk. Still that doesn't mean that I don't care about the environment. With the current high levels of pollutions, we need to pay attention to what happening to our environment. The song "Barrel Of Pain" by Crosby, Stills And Nash reminds me not to take that for granted.

Right now a lot of rivers in the cities that were clear and clean have now turned murky and filled with all sorts of debris. Imagine if they start dumping toxic material there. People will probably be bent out of shape or grow an extra limb if they dived in. Worst, if one gets poisoned from such a material, not only would he die, his death would be slow and painful. Not a good thing for anybody in my book.

It's a good thing that people are now more aware about the damage being done to our environment as well as its effects on whatever resources we have left. Until we find a way to deal with toxic and nuclear waste, it will be a long time before we utilize it as a source of energy. What we need to do first is protect and conserve what we have now. Things are already bad enough as it is and it's a good thing people are now contributing the rehabilitation of polluted waters and lands. It will benefit not just us but future generations as well.
