PETITION:
Stop stockpiling Ammonium Nitrate causing Environmental disasters like that of Beirut
The recent shocking tragedy in Beirut (Lebanon) is said to be from stock piled Ammonium Nitrate that was stored near port since year 2013. Now suddenly it got exploded with such a huge devastating effect that it claimed more than 150+ lives, thousands injuries and many more who are not yet known, lost their property, livelihood and survival base. Sadly, this is man-made tragedy and an environmental disaster where the blast not only created thick cloud upon the area but also tons of waste, loss of infrastructure, in addition to human tragedy.
