If there has ever been a time when climate change has been more severe, it is now.
We are still facing the repercussions of our actions. Despite various attempts to address the issue of climate change, it feels like no significant progress has been made. We are still struggling with problems such as air pollution, water pollution, and others. We have cut down trees in the name of constructing infrastructure and other things. It will baffle us to know that where I live, there is no single tree available, just recently planted a coconut plant.
In Ghana, the condition is so extreme that, the Medical Association of Ghana has to issued a statement warning citizens about the current environmental conditions in the country. They advise that we should wear nose masks, stay hydrated, and limit outdoor activities to reduce exposure to air pollution.
I think know how the condition might be from your end but over it calls for action from everyone. Is about time we all get involved in front of fighting this menace.
The country has introduced a new tax called the emission tax on cars and I in particular think is not enough, is about time we do away with expiring cars from our roads. Cars that their an emission level shouldn't be allowed into the country. While we wait for governments to make their policies, let's also remember that it does concern us and we must stay alert every day. We can start from our neighborhood by joining in tree planting campaigns.
Hive initiatives in addressing issues have been very helpful because, in moments like this, we are being advised to drink more water. Imagine a community without access to portable drinking water, how would they survive this fight?
Hive boreholes constructed in some communities are truly serving a great course in fighting this difficult situation and we hope the blockchain continues to enrich people with support in addressing world issues.
