Out of sight, out of mind

We always prefer instant solution to get rid of our nuisance. Out of sight, out of mind! Free of guilt, we all do it anyway. Buy; consume then dump it right away to anywhere while we think no one is watching. Yes! I did it pretty much. Well, congrats we just contribute big time to the world’s global warming! Little dirty deeds lead us to what the world is facing now.

On top of that, we do lots of choice in doing such blissful negligence. At home, burying waste to a composed pit will probably take decades to degrade. It may fade out of our sights but it doesn't pop out of the planet! It just been buried deep in landfills and backyards which erodes the essentials of the earth’s façade.

If you prefer burning and incinerate these polystyrene polymers at the back of your yard, this releases the so called styrene. Styrene gas is probably absorbed through the skin and lungs that will cause respiratory ailments. Since ashes and its smoke directly jam with the air, it’s a free for all, to breathe in these hazardous chemicals. The ozone layer has already retreating caused by this negligence.

Aside of that the nonstop cigarette smoking of our fellowmen that even youngsters are already patronizing this coolers on stick. Out of mind, they blatantly ignore the aftermaths of their almost every day pestering.

Smoking directly corrupts the atmosphere, land, water bodies, the ecological system as well as your very kind. The cigarette butts that are nastily dump end up in canals and streams which fishes mistake it as their food resulting to their death. The remaining cigar butts left in ground will take long journey as they roar nomadically. 

Fortunately, Hope seems to be on our side. For Albayano’s, the provincial regime sets Eco-Ordinance such as banning of smoking as well as the plastic prohibition. There is a penalty and fine given corresponding to their breach. Reusable Eco bags and paper hand bags is now being used as replacement for plastic packaging in department stores.

Resolutions, the changes we all justify. We already come to the realization that change starts within ourselves. The domino effect that says of a single breakthroughs influence others to follow is a motivator to keep us in doing something for a great change.

Lastly, we co- exist with the every living being, everyone is affected of what we do. Value and appreciate our home planet, it is all that we have!
