It goes without saying that the mother-nature is now at its worst. The world has witnessed innumerable problems resulting from poor management of the environment. In modern times Africa and the world as a whole has witnessed a lot of environmental destruction. Various studies reveal that in his attempt to utilize the environment, man has become the worst enemy to the environment. Our ancestors exploited the environment to some extent. The level of environmental destruction was low due to the low level of science and technology. Heavy machinery used by the modern generation in agriculture, mining and construction puts our environment at the greatest danger ever. This may mean that the havoc we see now in our environment has been largely caused by the modern generation! @Salome Kasosola (Nairobi, Kenya).
