No More War

Read from the newspaper these days, it is war again! Why??

During the war, extensive damage was done to the environment, and many people suffered health effects from weapons applied to destroy enemy targets. It is estimated that thousand villages, and their surrounding environments were destroyed.

Safe drinking water declined, because of a destruction of water infrastructure and resulting leaks, bacterial contamination and water theft. Rivers and groundwater were contaminated by poorly constructed landfills located near the sources.

Bombings and refugees in need of firewood destroyed much of what remained. Less than a small percent of the country still contains a forest cover today.Bombs threaten much of the country’s wildlife. In the mountains many large animals such as leopards found refuge, but much of the habitat is applied as refuge for military forces now.

Additionally, pollution from application of explosives entered air, soil and water. One example is cyclonite, a toxic substance that may cause cancer. Rocket propellants deposited perchlorates, which damage the thyroid gland. Numerous landmines left behind in the place soils still cause the deaths of men, women and children today.

So please, we need a permenant peace! Stop the war.. and stop the killing!!!
