As you sow, so shall you reap. These words of wisdom aptly fit to man's self created present plight. The selfish, ignorant man has done so much damage to the environment by becoming so much obsessed with amassing wealth and by exploiting Mother Nature and disregarding her needs that he could not see that he was damaging the umbilical cord of his own survival! He cut trees and trees in millions of acres of forests; he installed manufacturing units on the banks of life-giving rivers; these manufacturing monsters spewed toxic smoke into the atmosphere whose air he himself breathes!
His greed didn't let him realize that it was mandatory to treat the toxic effluents before releasing them into rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.; he ignored the most important fact of preserving the purity of environment. He was so smug to have invented refrigerants unaware of the fact that the same would damage the ozone layer. Undoubtedly, he has woken to the shocking irreparable damage his greed has wreaked on this planet, but it is very late! The only hope of the survival of the planet lies in his treating the planet, its environment, ecology, animals, plants and trees reverently. Let him worship the source through which he lives!
How can we prevent this deterioration and degradation of our environment? The task of conserving and preserving it is quite Herculean. The only solution to the critical environmental issues is people’s mass participation in saving the environment. Mass forestation drive, and stopping the use of fossil fuels altogether can solve this problem.
There are other alternative fuels available. The government must act strictly. There should be a ban on fossil fuels. The government must create forest belt near every city or town. Toxic emissions of industries must be strictly regularized. Installation of toxic smoke and effluents treatment plants must be mandatory at every industrial unit. With these measures strictly and immediately implemented the environmental health will improve considerably.
