What now?

               In this contemporary world, we know already that everything seems to grow fast.  Fast in a way that every tick of the clock, everything changed and this is the reality. From technology until it reaches to our ecology, everything had changed. Changes that are inevitable and irreversible and the only thing that we need to do is to coup up and be flexible to its effect. Are you willing to destroy this place?                But, when it comes to the changes in our environment, are you or we ready to take the turbulent path of changes?               From the 2013 Yolanda Typhoon, Ebola virus epidemic,  Arctic Ice Caps melting and lastly the global warming, are we resilient to conquer these again and the other phenomenon that's about to come? Are we ready to hop in on it? Are we?          Those thing...

Water: Is it still flowing?

                              Our planet consists of 73-75% of water and most of this water was found in the ocean. Out of this 73-75%, only 1% of this is freshwater or the water that is potable and viable for drinking, and the rest of the remaining percentage is found in glaciers, ice caps, underground reservoir (cannot be accessed) and etc.            Now, let us talk about this 1% of the water that is viable for the world to consume. This water is good for consumption, may it be humans and animals, this water has something to do on us for it maintains our body's physiological processes and homeostasis as well.

Overpopulation: Its Implication to Biodiversity, Economy, Health, and Resources

Image
                    As we move to modernization, we prefer to use all the resources present in our surroundings to meet all our needs. Imagine, we are 7.8 billion people living on this planet, lurking everywhere, thriving and competing to survive. Due to this determination to survive, we tend to compromise all the vital system that is essential for our survival; the biodiversity, economy, health, and resources. These systems give us an avenue to live prosperously and harmoniously without any disturbances. But, given that we are 7.8 billion, all those vital systems were under sage because the competition is prevalent especially to the dense areas where the population is concentrated (competition for food, natural resources, getting into the top, and etc.). Overpopulation or concentrated population of a certain area is quite alarming since it exposes the people who reside on it to the unexpected outcome that might compromise the ...
