ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME


On april 17, 2008, the biggest crime against the environment happened in Argentina. A group of harvesting field owners decided to burn weed that was useless for their business. This situation triggered 292 small fires in Buenos Aires and few towns all around the city.

According to argentinean laws, burning weed to reduced cost is a crime; in addition it brings terrible consequences to environment, especially to air. And that’s the reason why triggering fires turn into a big crime against nature. The fires extended over forest near Buenos Aires and not only destroyed kilometers of fertile soil, but also they created a big smoke cloud over Buenos Aires sky, affected health of all citizens and tourist.
Additionally, the magnitude of the tragedy brought several consequences to the ozone layer, increasing global warming and accelerating the effect of this phenomenon in Argentina.

In conclusion, I can say that the lack of consciousness about the importance of environment could become a serious problem if we don’t do anything to create a sense of responsibility with the caring of nature.
