Environmental pollution is harmful
With the rise in
air, water and other forms of pollution in Harare, residents need to be
informed and educated about dangers of environmental pollution and how they can
help to keep the environment clean.
Pollution is not
only harmful to humans but to animals too. Thus, due to environmental pollution
in Harare, residents are in danger of succumbing to opportunist infections.
This threatens the physical well being of human life and that
of the ecosystem.
Environmental pollution is a serious issue not only in Harare but also worldwide.
The problem in Zimbabwe is that it is not
getting the adequate media attention it deserves.
Therefore, it is
the duty of public relations (PR) practioners in various organisations to raise
awareness of this problem.
The role of PR
practioners’ is not only confined to maintaining the image of their respective
organisations, but to maintain the image of our country too.
Since the role
of the media is to inform and educate, PR practitioners should use the media in influencing
the control of environmental pollution.
They should always remember that good
public relations involve good deeds.
This involves being the voice of the voiceless
environment - Lazarus
