A clean planet - need of the hour
Gone are the days when lambs and kids used to frisk and frolic down the verdant valleys. Gone are the days when the brooks and streams flowed down the slopes merrily! Where are the green meadows, pastures and terraced fields? Where is the pure blue sky with cotton-like cirrus flitting merrily high above?
The canker of industrialization and urbanization have converted the once heaven
like planet into hell. Its sylvan beauty has been replaced by factories and
mills. The skyline that once was dominated by tall pines is an ugly sight of
stacks spewing toxic fumes! The clear rills and brooks that were picnic spots
have been converted into drainage channels, carrying effluents to the river,
which has become a bigger channel carrying the muck to the sea! The entire
world is losing its beauty and purity. The condition of our planet is has
already started to look like an ailing patient. Global warming has already
started affecting the entire world. Climatic changes are noticeable everywhere.
Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes
mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and
Arctic sea ice.
The need of the hour is conserving and preserving the environmental beauty and purity of the entire planet. This task 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.
If we succeed in implementing all the above mentioned measures, we will be the beneficiaries; our coming generations will be able to live in a purer and healthier environment. This will be our best gift to them, as well as us. If we fail, the gradual degradation will result in annihilation of the entire human race. May that day never come!
