WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?WHERE ARE OUR PRIORITIES?
800,000 lives are at risk, because these people do not have access to proper sanitation. 2020 and with all the technology at our fingertips and we can’t even conserve water or prevent flooding! Land swamped in water, homes destroyed, people dying from malnutrition, sickness, and disease and despite all this rainfall Humanitarian Aid Agencies are having to distribute 60,000 litres of water!
How many times do natural events like this have to happen before the world says enough is enough?
The world is spending billions of $’s on Space Exploration so that people can go and live on a dark, inhospitable planet when they could be helping people here on Earth. When nations in this world could be spending Billions trying to improve lives here on Earth.
South Sudan floods expose upside down world priorities
IMAGINE If the people of South Sudan had proper sanitation if they had been able to conserve all this rainfall. Imagine, how they could have used it to grow crops, feed their livestock and turn the desert wasteland of South Sudan into green pastures.
I understand that the world is facing the pressures of Climate Change and I understand that people are fearful, but what the world must do is turn these severe weather events to its advantage! We might get extreme storms and rainfall but IMAGINE if we were able to conserve it and especially in Third World Countries! If a Meteorological Supercomputer is able to predict exactly where rainfall is going to happen then why can’t we prepare and build temporary reservoirs and find ways to channel it and conserve it.
