Answers
Explanation:
Mother Nature is the environment and all its resources that we have been blessed with. The air that we breathe, the land that we live on, the trees, rivers, waterfalls, birds and animals are all some of the blessings from Mother Nature.
We humans are also part of nature. We survive with the maximum benefits from nature in comparison to other living beings. But at the same time, it is us humans who inflict the most damage on Mother Earth. The natural environment is harmed in the name of development, industrialization, growth in populations and man’s greed and selfishness.
Man takes maximum benefits from the air and water sources around him. At the same time, man pollutes the air by releasing toxic fumes through vehicles and factories. Water is polluted by the release of harmful chemicals into rivers and streams and by the use of dangerous and harmful pesticides.
Dumping of garbage carelessly into rivers, streams and forests pollutes the water as well as the environment. Cutting down of trees and clearing forests for housing as well as development has caused soil erosion, drought and loss of habitat for animals.
As our natural resources are limited we need to preserve them for our future generations. We have to take necessary action to protect Mother Nature. Students can contribute by drawing and distributing colourful posters and leaflets on the importance of protecting Mother Earth and ways and methods on how we can do it. Dumping of garbage programmes should be conducted on these topics in schools as well as for the general public. Special programmes can be aired through television and radio channels.
Improper dumping of garbage, pollution of water-ways and the air should be stopped and offenders should be punished accordingly. Use of harmful chemicals should be stopped and alternative natural materials should be used. Use of toxic and nuclear substances should be banned. Illegal and unnecessary clearing of forests should be prohibited and proper planning should be carried out to provide housing for the growing population. Forest areas should be conserved and the protection of animals facing extinction should be given priority. Social media can be used for many awareness programmes to reach a wider audience.
Protecting Mother Nature is and should be a collective effort by each and every member of the society. It is our responsibility to protect Mother Nature as an act of appreciation for all the benefits she bestows on us and for the future generations. Let us protect Mother Earth and protect ourselves and our future generations.
