One of the most beautiful memories of my childhood is when at Easter holidays I went with my family to the beach. It was very pleasant and we used to play at the beach: soccer, volleyball or just making sandcastles, and we played in the water and swim, but that was before, when the water was warm.
Now due to the climate changes that we caused, the abuse of the environment, the water temperature has changed a lot, and actually is very cold we have to wait, until may or June, to give enjoy a good swim!
Everything is different, every day more sand is dark and full of garbage, also if we are making sand castles or just playing with the sand we can’t dig a lot, because at ten centimetres deep, you found a black substance derived from the oil that leaks from ships. I wonder how many fish and birds have died because of this…. another thing that I have notice with sadness, is that both tourists and locals, throw garbage into the seawater, rather than throw the trash in the baskets or trash bags. They throw it in the sand or buried it and that’s why each time there is more pollution, I think that keeping our beach or place where we live clean is a task for all, children and adults, also a job of the cleaning staff.
In my city when a tree is on the way of an electricity cable, or a telephone line, they simply speak it. And that is not the case.
On the other hand, we complain that we do not have enough water in our house, that the beach is very dirty and sometimes we plant a few trees to provide shade for our homes or cars, and we do not make an effort to create a reforestation culture, for our own sake and that of the whole world, rather, we seek our own short term convenience and comfort.
IN THE END, THE TRUTH IS, THAT MOST OF US, MOST OF THE TIME AND IN SOME WAY
“HAVE LOST RESPECT FOR NATURE."
