Answers
Answer 7:
It is a question mark raised by an international commission on ecology and environment. It is extremely pertinent as well as frightening. This question should actually awaken our inner conscious. Man’s so-called progress has taken a heavy toll on the earth’s environment. Deforestation on large scale has led to a cycle of floods and droughts. This has affected the grasslands and the croplands and they are rapidly getting converted into deserts. Their productivity is getting depleted year by year. They are fast becoming unsustainable. This means climate change and a hotter planet leading to the extinction of several species and low food production and scarcity of potable water. ‘Ailing environment’ will mean polluted air, water and soil which will make survival difficult for the coming generations.
Answer:
We are not to leave our successors a scorched planet of advancing deserts, impoverished landscapes and ailing environment. We are to deliver them a land that is rich of flora and fauna and is rich with natural resources that will serve not just our immediate but more generations to come
