World Environment Day

Just imagine for a while about the world without trees, wildlife and a few hoping human beings moving around wearing a protective suit just to protect themselves from the soaring heat and other climatic consequences. You may think this type of situation won’t be at-all possible. Yeah, you may be right. Till you die, we won’t be able to experience any of these changes. But your next coming generation has a very tough time to face. A very tough time to face, I must say.

Many of the people don’t even know when the “World Environment Day” is unless and until it is in the newspaper or TV. June 5th is the “World Environment Day” and you may come across many episodes, articles, advertisements and presentations about saving the planet earth. Not even today, every day we are being advised to save the Planet Earth. But it is only a small proportion of the people who take this thing seriously and strive for the climate-change.

Many people don’t even take this seriously and are least bothered about this in spite of so many advices and advertisements. From the childhood, children are told to plant a sapling on this day, but when they grow up only a few seem to retain the fact.
It would be interesting to hear that the “Originators [on earth] are the Destructors [of earth]”. I would say one thing, that these people have been lent a space on this vast earth and given freedom and they have no right to destroy this borrowed space. Am I right? What do you think? Cutting forests, global-warming, pollution, etc are the known facts to every individual and they even know that these affect the climate. I don’t understand in spite of all these awareness programs no considerable change has been brought. Only 2% of the world’s total population is spreading awareness to a billion-trillion people. And the most recent “swine-flu” is nothing but our own developed epidemic, spreading it to the entire world. The earth is speechless about these consequences.

CO2 is the major global warming agent.

Not only CO2, there are billion other factors which dis-integrate the present ecological balance in the environment. The theme for “World Environment Day 2009”- “Your Planet Needs You-Unite to combat the climate change”. When one looks at the garden of the world, there are so many beautiful things which makes a heart go green, individuals have their responsibility towards environment. Each individual should start protecting their environment from being polluted and make it greener which is not only for the present but also for the future.

You know how our environment is being disturbed either by natural calamities or our own man-made. But everyone knows that there is an imbalance between the land and the size of population; thereby the eco-system is disturbed. Our ever-increasing population and the imbalance won’t be matched even n a marginal way. There’s a large difference between what we think and what actually happens. Well I have been to some places like New Delhi and Hyderabad [Oh, basically the metropolitan cities]. In ND, I could not find a single tree up to Rastrapati Bhavan, where there is a large garden. And about Hyd, it is also the same case mostly. People like modernisation and are least worried about vegetation. They just want to live Hi-Fi life. But I suppose in the long run there would be a definite problem for the latter generation and this Hi-Fi won’t serve any purpose at that time when the climate would be in worst condition.

I just hope for a better ecological system and environment and a safer world tomorrow.
