Life on our planet, the life that makes the fields and the seas happy; the only life that we really know, is currently fenced, stalked, relentlessly beset by death.

It is ironic that the most glorious creature that lives in our world, the one that treasures in its cerebral circumferences, the most powerful and successful machine that our planet has produced, is precisely the cause of the threat, of the harassment, of the implacable persecution of the lifetime. , although such persecution implies his own death.

The men are polluting the atmosphere in unbearable degrees with the emanations of their industries and vehicles. A flight reactor from Madrid to New York consumes more oxygen than a man in his entire life.

In addition to poisoning the air we breathe, not only to the level of oxygen consumption but to the release of toxic gases in such diversity and profusion that it transforms the most popular cities into crossroads with an unbreathable atmosphere, contaminating the marine, fluvial and lacustrine waters. waste sort. Rivers and lakes that just a few decades ago hoarded an immense animal wealth are today pestilent dumps where the chemical substances of factory waste do not allow the existence even of unicellular beings. The sea, which seemed inexhaustible, the great mass of water that characterizes the planet that we inhabit and that allowed the formation of a biosphere, is also getting dirtier every day. The oceanographic institutes try to explain the causes of the massive reduction of fish that in other times formed banks of incalculable density. Their disappearance can not only be attributed to abusive and uncontrolled fishing. The sea is also being poisoned.

Calm and sunny beaches, everlastingly green hills and hidden valleys where the equilibrium of life still prevailed have transformed like magic into suburbs of ugly architecture that have rarely taken into account the aesthetic demands of the landscape. Its poor sewage system and its poor means of sanitation damage regions that had remained pure, precisely because of their loneliness and remoteness.

It is necessary to start a new conscience, we must instill in the code of conduct of future generations the respect for life and the deep knowledge that they are part of an extraordinarily strong but terribly vulnerable community. Because if we do not put a stop to our race of destruction, we will reach an irreversible situation for plants, animals and human beings themselves.
