Recognizing global problems from the perspective of a common citizen

Ahoy! Hope you enjoyed my Conch bearer book review post. Please subscribe, heart, and leave a comment!

What are some problems we face in the world today on a global scale? How do we fix them? I will answer these questions in this post based on my opinion, focusing on two problems: Pollution and Sicknesses.

Pollution

When speaking about this particular topic, pollution is the idea that pops into most peoples’ minds. Pollution is an infamous word throughout widespread industrial places.

But nobody really wonders about what we, as common citizens can do to prevent pollution in every little way we can. When looking for a good place to stay if you have asthma or just a clean place in general, you look for the amount of pollution in the area.

When we wonder about pollution, we think of extravagant and complex ways to prevent it, which are almost impossible to the common citizen.

So, what exactly is pollution?

Now that we know what we can do as regular people, we can start asking the bigger questions:

Plastic waste reduction is also a popular topic of discussion closely related to pollution. Let us think about plastic waste reduction and what we can do to prevent it as regular, law-abiding citizens.

How can we prevent pollution?

Sicknesses

Desperate times call for desperate measures! Have you noticed that every time you walk out of your house, you’re wearing a mask? Every time you play, you’re wearing a mask? We are always gonna wear a mask from now on.

Most people think masks as suffocating, unneccessary, ugly accessories. To some degree, they are correct. But remember gratitude?

But do we ever think of masks as lifesavers?

“Lifesavers?” you must be thinking. “How is that?” To prevent the spread of illnesses and common flu, a mask/face shield is vital.

We should show gratitude to the people who risk their lives everyday to treat the ill. And we should honor them by protecting ourselves to make their job easier.

So, if you want to get sick, which no one wants, then wear a mask for your own protection and always pray for the brave and courageus doctors, nurses, and the whole healthcare system for their astounding work.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
