Essay of 1000 words on the greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it
Answers
The present critical condition of the world is because of this apathetic attitude. The world
was made a better place to live in by people who thought it their responsibility to put something right they found wrong. If Lincoln would not abolish slavery, who would? If Mother Theresa would not help the poor and the afflicted, who would? The way man is handling planet earth doesn't augur well. After the industrial revolution, man just blindly exploited the natural resources to produce as much as he could so that he could earn huge profits. Millions of hectares of forests were cut; rivers, seas, lakes, and ponds were polluted; any animal that served his purpose, uncountable number of its species were hunted for food, flesh and fur. Now is the time to repair all the damage.
All think that someone else will do the damage repair! And that someone has yet to descend from heaven! This pass the buck attitude is very dangerous for the entire mankind. After all how long shall the mother earth feed her billions of children who are bent upon destroying it with their nukes? With this demonic brutishness, the earth won't live long. How silly of man to think he can survive without the survival of the planet. It is high time we, the men and women realized our responsibility towards maintaining and preserving our planet. We must start caring for it.
We must dare to clear the clutter we see. We must try to do all that we can to wipe a tear; to plant a tree; to resist the temptation of littering the road; to follow all the traffic rules. If all of us will take careful actions ensuring all's welfare, then all the ills in the world will automatically disappear. If we put it off till another day, may be that day will never come! It has already been delayed. So let's not pass the buck on others; let's all become responsible doing little good we can by taking actions. Now the most crucial step to be taken is the practical healing of the wounds of the mother earth. Who will do it? It is easier said than done! Well, as has always been the case, great thinkers, conservationists, environmentalists, Green movement volunteers and people who really care for the world, will have to join hands and launch save the planet campaigns. The saving the planet should be two-pronged strategy---stop the pollution; and plant trees. These volunteers can involve media and the government agencies. Once the repair work begins, many more people join the save the planet movement. There is already much work being done in this regard in developed countries. The developing countries are lagging behind in preserving their environment. So the focus needs to be directed towards these countries. Schools, colleges, general people need to be approached and made aware of the implications of the current damage being done to the environment. The situation is not helpless; it can be handled. People have to be stimulated into action. All we need is some dedicated individuals who can sensitize the people and make 'save environment' a mass movement. We have all the resources to change people's apathy into empathy. All we need is the awareness and the realization of the severity of the problem. We will have to make everyone realise the indispensability of the environment. We can't cut the branch we are sitting on, can we?!
Actually we need role models who can show the people how to be proactive in saving the environment. There have been some really inspiring environment preservation movements in India. For instance, Chipko movement started by Chandni Prasad Bhatt and Sundar Lal Bahuguna had phenomenal impact on saving forests in Garwhal. Vandana Shiva's Navdanya Movement promoting biodiversity conservation and organic farming also stands as an inspiring model to be followed. We need such people with vision and mission who can obdurately oppose the apathetic attitude of the government and the people in areas related to environment.
So in conclusion it can be said that the only thing to be fought is the people's apathy to the environment; once that apathy is managed, all the other environmental problems will be managed in due course of time. Together we can do it.Answer:
Earth is significantly facing many threats like global warming due to deforestation and burning of fossil fuels, green house effect because of emission of harmful gases in environment, climate change due to careless man made activities and depletion of ozone layer.
Explanation:
Earth is our mother planet, it is duty of every individual to save it. Since long time after industrial revolution our mother earth is suffering from many problems which are a big threat to its existence.
Ozone layer is the protective layer of atmosphere of earth, depletion of ozone layer is a big threat because powerful rays of sun directly fall on the surface of earth which doesn’t only give birth to fatal diseases but also contributes more in the melting of icebergs in Antarctica.
The scientists and environmentalists reveals that the northern sister of Antarctica, the Artic region’s demise has already reduced the life span of earth.
If Antarctica suffers from same death man will hardly enjoy two decades on the surface of earth. Our planet is our home and it is responsibility of all members of home to save and protect it. No other savior from another planet will come to save it, it’s we who can save it.
The only reason behind degradation of earth is that general public thinks that politicians who are ruling the state will take steps to save Earth.
