Where are the days when lambs and kids used to frisk and frolic down the verdant valleys? Where 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 has converted every town and city into hell. The sylvan beauty, which was so ubiquitous, has been replaced by factories and mills.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 problems of Global warming, melting glaciers, decreasing forest covers, dwindling species of plants and animals, depleting ozone layer, etc. loom large on the future of mankind.
How can we prevent this deterioration and degradation of our environment? The task of conserving and preserving it 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.
All of us will have to shoulder the responsibilities to save our environment. All of us must do our level best to minimize the pollution caused by our routine activities. Each one of us must minimize our carbon footprint. We must ensure minimal energy, water, and fuel consumption. While traveling, if possible, we must use renewable energy powered vehicles only. We must also ensure that we use only eco-friendly products and services. We must ensure that our activities must not add to the green house gases.
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.
