The Earth and its resources make life possible on the planet. If there were no sunshine, air, water and vegetation on the planet, there would be no life on it. The Earth and its resources are Nature’s bounties. We must protect these bounties otherwise life will be threatened. Man and all life forms depend on the Earth and its resources for survival.
Man’s activities, driven by greed and selfishness, have caused degradation of the Earth, and its resources like air and water. Air pollution, water pollution, land degradation and deforestation have been caused due to man’s actions. When land, air, water and vegetation come under threat by man’s activities, the lives of all life forms including man is under peril.
The Earth and its resources can be protected by man. Every little effort on our part to save the Earth and its environment can make a difference. Plastics, for instance, are a source of major environmental degradation. We can take little steps like avoiding the use of plastics. For example, we can avoid using plastic water bottles. We can instead use steel, glass or clay bottles to carry or store water.
Similarly, we can plant trees in our neighbourhood. Trees play a major role in ecological balance. By planting trees we can improve our environment.
We must also save water which is a precious natural resource. We must also avoid polluting water bodies. We must be judicious in the use of all natural resources. We can thus save the Earth.
Saving our Planet
- by Ranu
Humans, in a madness to satiate their selfish needs, have run havoc on this beautiful planet. Lush greenlands have been turned into Barren wastelands. Forest cover has depleted to an extent that several wild species have become extinct and others are on the verge of extinction. Ralentless burning of fossil fuels has led to an increase in the atmospheric temperature which is causing global warming. All such activities have also endangered our own existence on earth.
In order to undo all what we have done and prosper, we must follow the 3 Rs of survival - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We should reduce our daily consumption and resources and avoid wastage. Whenever we can we must reuse the products that we can. And last but not the least, we must cycle all the stuff that we can in order to lessen our non-stop claims on the reserves of the resources on earth. Remember that we only have one planet to live on!
