RE: I'm afraid of.... earthquake - WEEK157

in Weekend Experiences2 years ago

Yeah man, the natural disasters we face can be a little frightening, I guess because they're uncontrollable and humans have a desire to control everything. I guess it's the planet doing what it is supposed to...and I wonder how much of the destructive natural disasters are our own fault. Take flooding for instance...we change the lay of the land, farm it, build roads and dams, divert water courses, change the climate which affects rainfall land weather patterns...Sure, flooding probably happened before humans came along, but I think we made/make it worse.

I'm no scientist, but maybe it's the same with earthquakes to some degree? Can we keep abusing the planet as we do and expect no repercussions? I think not.

A good post man, I know I always say it, but your use of your own images...I wish everyone took a leaf out of your book and did the same.

Thank you very much for the special words written here, and yes, it is very important for us humans to understand that our actions on the environment can have negative or destructive consequences and this could be the reason why we should think about what we can do to protect the planet, it does not belong to us, we should make it possible for future generations to enjoy it.
In 2017, here in my village, there was a flood that affected more than 200 houses, the conclusion of the specialists about the cause of the flooding was related to the agricultural works carried out by a company that owns the hills in the area and on which they grow vines.
They did not respect the rules on planting vines, and to this day that man has not been held responsible.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
