PROMPT: July 9th - Respond to a current news story with your opinion. Share a link to the story if possible. "Wealthy nations shipped toxic waste to Indonesia. Now Indonesia is sending it back" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/07/09/toxic-waste-hong-kong-france-ship... It doesn't surprise me that wealthy nations are using poor nations as their dumping ground for hazardous and plastic waste. The U.S. France, Germany, Hong Kong, and Austria (just to name a few) appear to care about the planet, and apparently they do, as long as they can ship their toxic and hazardous waste to place like Indonesia. We, humanity, are living on a rock that orbits an insignificant star close to the edge of the Milky Way. Ocean water and air circulate around the planet, carrying waste and pollution from one nation to another. Landfills, with toxic waste, in any part of the planet reveals our disrespect for the planet and for our fellow human beings. Part of the problem is lack of acceptance of the oneness of humanity, which is proven by the human genome. Another part of the problem is that wealthy nations, and many rich individuals, care only for the bottom line without considering how the rest of the world, especially the poor, are affected. |
