Every day you can hear about car crashes, shipwrecks, train and plain accidents. Every year there are a lot of earthquakes, floods and fires. There are many explosions because of gas leak. Sometime people don’t realize the danger. People! Can you breathe this air? Don’t you understand you are the cause of many accidents?

People! Quietly and slowly you are destroying yourselves. Please, stop it!
