This is badly affecting living things. From 1983 till now, 8.3 billion tons of plastic trash have been spilled into the ocean. Plastic disposable cups of coffee release trillions of microplastic particles in our drinks. A study has revealed that single-use hot cups and beverage cups coated with low-density polyethylene were subjected to drinks at 100 degrees, and they managed to release trillions of nanoparticles per liter into the water.
Kenya is playing a prominent role in environmental reforms in the whole of the continent. Kenya also accepted the hosting of this three-day conference in which presidents, prime ministers, experts, and scientists of 112 countries participated. The attendees of the conference were told that the plastic addict world was producing three million tons of plastic products every year. A maximum of 4% of plastic products are recycled and the remaining used plastic products are spilled into the ocean. It is told that 2 million plastic bags are used in a minute. It is estimated that in the next twenty-five years, there will be more plastic trash than fish.
One million plastic bottles are bought in a minute worldwide. The expert claims that the ten biggest rivers in the world fall with more than 90% of trash in the ocean every day. But it is extremely dangerous that seventy thousand microplastic is eaten every day while using plastic utensils for eating and drinking. Moreover, the use of artificial food products is increasing.
The experts at Nairobi Conference stressed that plastic trash is severely damaging the ocean. Most developed countries have banned the use of plastic products used in daily life. Plastic has become a need in human life and deeply affects the lives of all living things. But a huge section of the era is still negligent about the deadly consequences of plastic products. Luxuriousness, sluggishness, laziness, and societies free from serious thinking are extremely affecting. Poison of pollution is gradually spreading. Its consequences are appearing in the form of contagious diseases and ailments.
It is a harsh reality that the world is progressing. slogans of this development are echoing everywhere but along this, the world is facing different threats of gradual decline. The real problem is that modern life, a flood of luxuries, veracity, and greediness is taking humans toward destruction instead of betterment.
The famous newspaper "The Guardian" of Britain has revealed in a survey report that 8.3 billion tons of plastic trash have been spilled in the ocean since 1958 which is equal to the weight of 8 lacs Eiffel Towers. The biggest threats to the safety of the world are a tremendous increase in the population, disturbance in the natural environment, rise in pollution, seasonal changes, increase in contractable diseases, the tension between the United States of America and China, terrorism, intolerance, expansion in the nuclear weapons, class warfare, social roughness, poverty, backwardness and the beginning of new cold war. Societies of underdeveloped countries can not move with the speed of the modern world. Even today, superstition and unscientific thinking prevail in our society. We don't care about environmental and seasonal changes. Sequence and balance are the first rules of the universe. The amazing discoveries of modern space research have moved human wisdom but we seem helpless to dispose of the trash piles.
There is a group of experts who don't believe that the increasing pollution is the reason for the natural environment and seasonal changes. This group says that the world is bearing such a natural environment for thousands of years. Storms, rains, floods, earthquakes, the intensity of hotness and coldness, and seasonal changes, all have happened and will be happening. Remember the ex-president of America, Donald Trump had also expressed the same opinion. He had even told that some of the scientists were blackmailing the world but there is no doubt about the environmental disturbance, seasonal changes, and rapid increase in pollution. Socrates had to drink poison because of these people. A French Astronaut told the French President that the Earth he saw three years before from space is not the same today. There is no greenery in most of the region now. In fact, going into space, landing on the moon, taking pictures in space, and bringing news about the galaxies billions of years away from us have tremendously enhanced human knowledge for the last seventy years while researching space in different periods. Humans wish to conquer the universe for centuries. The process to fulfill his wish has now begun. The world is amazed by the new discoveries of the giant Hubble Telescope.
The thick forests of America, Australia, South Africa, etc are an essential part of the natural environment but despite this fact, we don't stop cutting the forests nor do we stop enhancing pollution. We don't follow the procedures and proposals for decreasing pollution. Spilling the poisonous substances of industry into the ocean was the agenda of the Glasgow Conference. It was stressed to decrease the temperature by 1.5 degrees. The geologists think if the temperature increases by 2 degrees, then it will keep increasing and can cause huge natural disasters to the Earth till 2023. Therefore, serious efforts are in hand to decrease the temperature by 1.5 degrees. The one-point agenda of the Nairobi Conference was about the horrible effects of the production of plastic, the production of plastic products and their careless use, and billion tons of plastic trash spilling into the ocean that endangering aquatic life.
It has been told in an international survey report that half of the aquatic life has vanished in the last twenty-five years. Fish and other animals are compelled to eat the oceanic trash due to which their species are vanishing quickly. Tuna fish was abundantly available at the beach of Karachi. Now it is gradually reducing. The demand for tuna fish in the international market is very high. It is found in the warmer regions of the world.
Experts and scientists have come to the conclusion after researching for years that the deterioration of the natural environment can be fixed through natural resources and a lot of countries have started working on these resources like solar energy, water energy, air energy, heat, water, and air. Some multinational institutes of the big countries are searching for life in space and trying to discover a planet that can provide protection to life and can fulfill the necessities of life. It is said that two such planets have been found, but these planets are thousands of light-years away from us. The last will of the famous scientist and astronomer in the world was not to search for life in space. If mankind wants to inhabit any other planet, it is not possible. We can not live without Earth. The four fundamental elements of life are fire, air, water, and soil.
The participants of the Nairobi Conference witnessed the beautiful high mountains near Nairobi that were covered with snow fifty years before and now they are bare rocks. Animals have decreased and the intensity of high temperatures is unbearable for them. The continent of Africa is situated on the equator where the temperature remains high. The dwellers along with the animals of the region are facing numerous problems. Kenya is busy with United Nations to fix the problems of the natural environment.
The second biggest problem which is becoming the number one now is the disturbed natural environment. The experts tell that the level of warming and cooling has increased dangerously. This unbalanced disturbance in the seasons is a threat to the security of the whole of humanity and to the planet. The United States of America has formed a task force of senators, scientists, and experts for doing research with the biggest scientific research institutes including NASA. This team visits important regions of the world to review and prepare reports. This team is also doing research on plantations. They take a big piece of the trunk of the oldest tree and study the effects of seasonal changes and natural disasters in the past on it. There are round circles inside the trunk and from these circles, we can know the seasonal changes. A complete record of rains, floods, earthquakes, storms, and natural disasters can be traced from such trunks.
Now humankind is doing research in deep space and the ocean and the new discoveries and numerous galaxies on every step have amazed humanity. The status of our beloved planet is that of the smallest particle but it is our only home in this vast universe. Therefore, we need to protect it from all kinds of pollution. Even the smallest crawling insect on this Earth are also part of the natural environment and play their role. In the sixties, China killed lacs of birds because they thought they ate the grain. Next year, the insects ate all the crops and they came to the conclusion that the birds were to protect the grain. They only ate those insects which were harmful to the crops. This is a big lesson for the world.
