Addressing global issues

From now on... Ppl i have decided that i m going global and instead of my small issues and problems; m gonna address the global more macro issues... As m pretty inspired by Health Safety n Environment saviors so i began to think that where did all these Anthropogenic Activities would have started from and boosted to... n it goes like this...

In late 1950’s the industrial progress emerged at its peak in the western and eastern parts of the world. Economic prosperity and progress was given more priority than the environment and protecting the eco system.

Rapidly increasing industrialization and development brought adverse and long lasting changes on the planet that directly and indirectly affected the masses. These issues and mixed opinions of people favoring and opposing the industrialization turned into mass protest after:

Minamata disorder (1959-1969) in the east was brought into the main stream that was caused by the deposition of mercuric waste openly in the sea, near the populated areas and resulted in high death toll and pre-birth disorders as well.   

Love Canal waste deposition issue (early 1970’s) around 21,000 tons of toxic waste was buried beneath the residential area.

Chipku moment (late1960s) in India was a social ecological moment, for the conservation of forests.

Later; discovery and side effects of DDT, oil spill in Brooklyn (1960’s), killing and utilizing the extinct species, discovery and uses of mass atomic weaponry etc created anarchy in the natural structure of the world.

      

However in 1970’s fruitful results from the awareness programs for saving the earth were seen and world conferences were held in which concerned people formulated legislation to save the endangered planet and its living species from global warming, ozone depletion and other man made menace. In order to balance out the adverse effects; green, pollution free, true zero waste and limited carbon dioxide emission industries were promoted. 

  

Globally standards were set for the personal and environmental safety in the industries. That automatically straightened the path for the post 1970’s accidents such as Bhopal disaster (1984), dependency on fossil fuel, Chernobyl catastrophe (1986), and effected people were accordingly compensated.

 

Later in 1990’s acute observations and laws were regulated for the environment. This made the citizen of the world aware of the fact that rapid and boundless progress indeed was endangering the planet.
