Wise Man ( latin : Homo Sapiens ) ?

One of the side-effects of the rise of the modern industrialized world, in tandem with the population explosion has been air pollution. Air pollution is comprised of various pollutants, among which most prominent one is Particulate Matter ( PM ) — these are extremely fine particles, written as PM2.5 ( having diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers ).

There is known scientific and global awareness regarding the harmful effects of exposure to PM2.5 particles and the urgent need to move away from the use of fossil fuels and other combustion methods employed in various industries.

Despite the environmental disaster which has been propagated by fossil fuels, resulting in global climate change and air pollution of unprecedented levels, our species has refused to back down and embrace more sustainable methods of running our industry and our lives.

Giving-in to our primitive myopic temptation of instant gratification, rather than our newly evolved ability of logic and foresight, I am compelled to think of our species as having a long journey to fulfill the name we have given to ourselves — Wise Man ( latin : Homo Sapiens ).
