Enviromental Issues ~ Social Issues

The place where we live is the only that we have, and it's a planet called Earth, but the human being and their attempt to get more and more, this need has made us look for things that are easier and cheaper to get, something that not always is the best to long-rage as we can now see.

Our environment is everyday more sick, with all the things that we are made in centuries, we are getting in a era in which we can see the result of generations of humans using the planet as a property and not a place where we need to live.

Within this problems we can find five that are the most important in this moment; the first is the Nuclear Energy, a energy system that began in 1945 during the Second World War and that gave us a solution for the lack of other energy sources no-renewable like oil. Nuclear power already delivers less energy globally than renewable energy, and the share will continue to decrease in the coming years.

Which make it a energy source not as good as other more expensives, but still more beneficial in long-time.

Other problem is the global warming and climate change, all this have been making since decades ago changes in differents parts of the world, doing droughts in one part of the planet and floods in the other; that with the increase of the waters are making more difficult the future if we don't stop it now.

To keep our air clean is necessary the existence of trees, but what is happening now with them? The deforestation is one of the biggest problem, and no just for the lack of trees in differents parts of the world, also for all the consequences that bring with it, one of these is the possible extinction of rare species that live in the forest (around two thirds live there); forests also help to regulate the Earth's climate and regulate water and rainfall.

An amazing 80 percent of life in our planet can be found in our oceans, which provide us vital sources of protein, energy, minerals, and the transports of water masses that keeps the Earth habitable, inter alia. As yet largely unseen, but just as serious, are the impacts we are having on the oceans.

A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and robust habitats. The actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural norm.

A myriad of human pressures are being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over. Consequently ecosystems are collapsing as marine species are driven towards extinction and ocean habitats are destroyed. Degraded and stripped of their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their inherent resilience.

What we eat is mainly coming from agriculture, but lately the genetic engineering have been creating big changes in our nurishment, making us dependent on toxic chemicals and corporate control of agriculture. Also have been found hundreds problems of this food, including cancer and others malformations principally in children.
