We're already well on the way to obliterating, all lire 'front the face of the earth simply through the misuse of our natural resources. Man is slowly but, surely coming to the conclusion that these re- sources are not endless, Pellution is rapidly becoming the most dreaded word in • the 'English language. One of the major causes or pol- lution is industry which releases annually about two hundred million cane: of unburned hydro corhons, milphUr oent'!otrnels, nitrengen oxides. and other dangerous gases into the e:;rth':, atmosphere The tiny particles are not only harmful to human health but also have been known to rot bUilding stone and eat- in metal rooting. Besides air pollution they are the major contributor t; to wuter pollution as all industries use water for their production, 'Lately there have been a few cases or oil spillings from tankers resulting in 15.2 million fish being killed which is an increase of :31% from the previous year. But all the blame cannot be placed on in- dustry whose only interest, many think, is in nfaking a profit. Eiath individual accounts for 5.8 Pounds of garbage each day, If isn't that. man isn't aware of pollution: rather he just doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation and the fact that speed is essential.
