Modern life is destroying our natural flow of healthy drinking water by throwing garbage in the water. The bottom of the deepest ocean there is full of plastic and garbage. That is affecting the highest mountains which are related to our safe water chain as well as the food chain.
Take Smart decisions
By taking smart decisions we could help to regenerate our healthy planet. Burning fossil fuels create polluted air and over 90% of people breathe this unhealthy air. Avoiding these elements could be another way of keeping the world healthy. Excess uses of vehicles and commercial factories produce polluted air. Social leaders are playing a blind role in this topic. Political leaders must make some laws about this topic that how factories are run without polluting the environment.
Our economy is always focusing on money-making profit and in this process, we are losing our safe water, clean air, and safe food. Modern lives are caged by a polluted world and we are the predator of our own good health.
