Hi everyone~
It's not often that I use this platform to bring awareness about serious issues. Sometimes DA doesn't seem like a place where people take things seriously. But this is important and I thought that there's no harm in making a bit of an effort to spread awareness.
So, I wanted to take a moment and inform all of you about the
concerning recent research findings of the WWF organisation. (If you don't know what that is, WWF is
an international non-governmental organization founded in 1961, working in the field of the wilderness preservation, and the reduction of human impact on the environment.)
I would encourage you to take a few minutes to read through either of these articles:www.bbc.com/news/science-envir…time.com/5438605/human-activit…To summarize,
because of human consumption we have decimated 60% of wildlife population in the last 40 years!!Just let that sink in for a moment... Just think about it, where will that percentage be in 10 or 20 years from now? It took us 40 years to destroy over half of the wildlife population, so
how many wild animals do you imagine will be left in the world 40 years in from now if things remain the way they are??
Some of you will say "eh, nothing new", "I'm just one person, what can I even do about this" and ignore this, but just think about the fact that if enough of us actually did something, even as simple as spreading the word, we could make a difference. At least that's what I believe.
It'd be great if you could just take a minute, just one minute,
to spread this forward to your friends or family. It's important that we're all aware of what's going on in our planet.
Most of you are still very young, as am I and we have a lot of time left on this earth still. Just think about the fact that our world is being destroyed very very fast and our generation, WE, will have have to witness that and pay the price for human greed. At this rate, to say it plainly, we're fucked. If we don't at least try to do something about it, we'll destroy everything around us and ourselves.
Please take a look at this.
Protecting our planet is very important and it starts even with the smallest thing, like turning off the tap when you're brushing your teeth or turning off the lights when you leave a room. It starts with you.
Thank you for your time.
