Nature's Wrath!
It is already 44 and the hottest day of the year is yet to come. This year the temperature reached the highest in 5 years in Delhi. With each passing year the global warming has been giving us a warning to go green and take care of the Mother Earth. Yesterday we celebrated the world environment day but how many of us remembered? Very few or none I would say. Also there is very less education and awareness among people on this crucial situation which is deteriorating our planet's condition every day. The most affected are the birds, animals and trees. Unlike humans they do not have the artificial means of changing the weather and climate around them. Today we try and fight the sun with AC's etc but can we actually fight nature? The nature if you compare has become more severe towards us whether you recall the spine chilling winters and the untimely rains or the scorching heat of summer. All this is our doing. We are the root cause. Cutting trees, killing animals for their skin, ever increasing population, decline in natural resources, dumping the sea and rivers with chemicals. All this is done by us for the sake of money and our comfort without realising that we will be terribly affected if we keep ruining our own environment.
The new government has taken the initiative to clean our holy river, the Ganges which is an applaudable step towards saving the earth and it's resources. With Uma Bharti in the forefront I am sure we will achieve our goal in making the river pollution free. Also I have heard of the rain water harvesting and solar energy usage projects that are in the pipeline. All this and a bit from our end will definitely give our planet's survival a positive turn. I would urge each one of you to take part in saving our earth in some way or the other. I would like to share some pointers that I came across:
• Save power, when not in use switch off lights.
• Save water, it takes only a sec to turn off the tap.
• Use less fuel, use CNG and LPG vehicles. If possible pool in.
• Say no to plastics.
• Do not dump junk anywhere but use dustbins.
• Keep your city clean. Do not spit on the road.
• Keep some water outside your house for birds as they feel thirsty too.
• Be caring towards animals even if they are not your pets.
Remember we made the world what it is today. We evolved and are forcing the other living beings to live in the artificial world created by us. It is we who should be responsible for their well-being and no one else. You may have seen the movie, "Wall-E", and am sure none of us would want a robotic human life shown in that movie. So, love nature, love life.
Live and let others live.
