Recently, a Dutch factory shamelessly dumped toxic garbage into an African country, causing many deaths.
In some countries, capitalists or economic agents of production units arbitrarily discharge all kinds of harmful substances into nature in pursuit of high profits, seriously polluting the environment, especially air and water, causing social harm, causing many diseases and seriously threatening the health and life of the broad masses of people. There are many kinds of water pollution, among which Minamata disease is one of the world-famous public hazards in Japan. Minamata disease first occurred in Minamata Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan in 1953. Because the cause is unknown, it was called Minamata disease. According to (Yu)
1950, in the fishing village near Minamata Bay, some cats were found to have unsteady gait, cramped and paralyzed, and finally jumped into the water and drowned. Locals call them "suicide cats". 1953, a strange disease was found in Minamata town. At first, he just had slurred speech, unsteady gait, facial dementia, deafness, blindness and numbness. Finally, he lost his nerve, fell asleep for a while, became excited for a while, bent down and screamed and died. At 1956, more than 50 people with the same symptoms were found in this area. Through the investigation of the disease, it was not until 1962 that Minamata disease was determined to be caused by environmental pollution of mercury, especially chronic methylmercury poisoning caused by eating contaminated fish and shellfish. This is caused by methylmercuric chloride discharged from the factory in Minamata town, which pollutes the sea area and poisons fish and shellfish. 1963 after minamata town, a large number of suicide cats and dogs appeared in Niigata prefecture, Japan. 1973, Minamata disease occurred again in Youming Town and other places along the southern coast of Youming Sea. It is reported that the number of these three cases is above 900. In fact, the number of victims in Japan far exceeds this figure, and there are about 1 10,000 victims in Minamata alone.
Mercury, commonly called mercury, is widely used in many industrial sectors. Mercury and its compounds are harmful substances, especially the alkyl compounds of mercury are more toxic. Mercury and its compounds can enter the human body through the respiratory system or digestive system. After inorganic mercury enters human body, the highest mercury concentration is in kidney and liver. The accumulation of organic mercury in human brain is the most significant, followed by liver and kidney. The clinical symptoms after mercury poisoning are very similar to Minamata disease.
In addition to mercury, there are phenols, cyanogens, chromium, arsenic and some heavy metal salts that cause water pollution. These substances are discharged from factories and scientific research units, causing serious water pollution. As a result, harm to human beings has occurred from time to time at home and abroad. Therefore, in the process of developing the national economy and accelerating the four modernizations, we must pay attention to protecting the environment on which human beings depend, preventing pollution, and enabling human beings to survive and develop in a beautiful and comfortable environment. Throughout the ages, Mother Earth has raised countless generations of children and grandchildren with sweet milk. It turned out that she was beautifully decorated by junior students. However, now human beings have tortured her to death for their own interests. There is only one earth for mankind; The earth is facing a serious environmental crisis. "Save the Earth" has become the strongest voice of people all over the world.
I feel heartache for the deterioration of the surrounding environment. I think: As future successors, if teenagers don't understand the seriousness of environmental problems, ignore the laws and regulations of environmental protection and don't enhance their awareness of environmental protection, our lives will be destroyed in their own hands, and God will severely punish us. To this end, I am determined to start from myself, protect the environment, protect our homeland and be a guardian of the environment.
In the past year, I actively participated in the tree planting activities carried out by the school, led the class cadres of our Sixth Squadron to set up a "Green Angel" tree planting and green protection group, encouraged the team members to adopt a small sapling on campus, and used their spare time to decorate it carefully, laying the foundation for it to grow into a towering tree. In the signature activity of "Let the Earth Be Full of Life" organized by the school, I solemnly signed my name on it, writing down my determination and expectation for environmental protection and my vision for a better future. I actively participated in the prize-winning essay-writing activities held by the school in World Environment Day, carefully consulted and collected various materials, conducted social surveys, and wrote articles on environmental governance. I often take part in environmental protection lectures organized by the school, watch environmental protection videos, actively participate in environmental protection knowledge quiz activities, and fill in each question carefully. I participated in the website construction of "Green Team with Red Scarf", and posted many pictures and knowledge about environmental protection, as well as legal knowledge about various aspects of environmental protection, the development trend of environmental protection in China, and the environmental protection situation around the world. Every month, I will use the internet and newspapers to find some latest "environmental information" with different themes and sections to tell you; We also make some publicity boards regularly to publicize environmental protection knowledge and common sense of life. Raise everyone's awareness of environmental protection; Call on students to take care of their homes from different aspects, start from the little things around them and make contributions to the surrounding environment! I actively mobilize people around me to protect and build the same and only home of mankind according to law, promote the sustainable development of economy and society, and make contributions to human civilization. Together with my classmates, I also launched the initiative of "raising a potted flower, adopting a tree, cherishing every green space and making our surroundings full of green" and "replacing foam lunch boxes and disposable chopsticks with small plastic bags to keep us away from white pollution". Let's put down the convenient bag and pick up the vegetable basket. Let's move towards a bright green tomorrow and a brilliant future!
According to a report I collected, "environmental problems are caused by unreasonable development and utilization of natural resources by human beings." Shocking environmental problems mainly include air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, food pollution and improper development and utilization of natural resources. "Iron facts tell us that they are ruthlessly devouring human life like demons. It threatens the ecological balance, harms human health, restricts the sustainable development of economy and society, and puts human beings in a dilemma. To this end, I issued a declaration: "As long as we humans always have the awareness of protecting the environment and managing the environment according to law, the global village will become a beautiful paradise". In the future, the sky will be blue, the water will be clear, the trees will be shaded, and the flowers will be everywhere. Humans can enjoy the happiness endowed by nature.
"The real test of our contribution to the environment is not words, but actions." Although what I am doing now is just a small thing, I firmly believe that if we all have the responsibility to protect the environment, start from ourselves, start from small things, and work together to protect our homeland, we will naturally give humanity the due return. Take a nap in the warm cradle-grassland; Grow up under the kind smiling face-the sky, and bathe in the river, the source of love.
In short, start from yourself, be a leader, and don't let environmental protection behavior only appear in public service advertisements.
So much is enough (* _ _ *) hee hee. ...
