is the name of poem (education for leisure)
Explanation:
The speaker describes wanting to kill something—it doesn't matter what. He is tired of being ignored and announces that today, he's going to pretend to be God. It's a regular day, with gray skies and a bored feeling pervading the streets.
He kills a fly by squashing it against the window. This reminds him of a line from Shakespeare that he read in school. He couldn't understand much of the language, just like this fly now exists in another language that the living can't understand. He fogs up the glass by breathing on it and writes his name, thinking that he's breathing out his extraordinary talent.
The speaker thinks he's a genius and the world is his oyster, if he could just have a bit of luck. Today he plans to change the world, at least from some creature's perspective. He notices that the cat is avoiding him. He thinks that this is because the cat knows he's a genius.
He kills the pet goldfish by flushing it down the toilet. He quotes the Bible: "I see that it is good." The parrot squawks in fear. Once every two weeks, he walks two miles into town to sign unemployment papers and receive benefits. The people there don't seem happy to be getting his autograph.
The speaker has now killed everything in the house. He calls a local radio station and tells the host that he, the speaker, is a superstar. The host hangs up on him. The speaker takes a bread knife from the kitchen and goes out into the street. The sidewalk seems to sparkle. He touches the arm of someone in the street.
Answer:
Earth is like a patient whose health is declining and it is our duty to improve it. In 1987, the term Sustainable Development was used by the World Commission on Environment and Development. A zoo in Lukasa, Zambia has a cage in which a sign reads ‘The World’s most dangerous animal’ and inside there is a mirror. It gives a message that human beings are the most dangerous animals. Brandt Commission raised a question “Are we to leave our successors a scorched planet of advancing deserts, impoverished landscapes and ailing environment?”
There are four principal biological systems that form the foundation of the global economic system - fisheries, grasslands, forests, and croplands. These four systems also provide food and raw materials for industries except for minerals and synthetics. With these systems becoming unsustainable, fisheries will collapse, the forest will slowly disappear, grasslands will turn into a barren wasteland and croplands will become worse.
In poor countries, forests are being cut down for fuelwood which is used for cooking purposes. There are some areas where the cost of fuelwood is more than the cost of food. It is leading to deforestation at an alarming rate.
One of the reasons for the exploitation of the environment is the increasing population. It is observed that about one million population is increasing in every four days. This is not a good sign. There is an urgent need to control overpopulation in the world. Development is the best contraceptive for this problem as it will help in reduction in fertility, increase in education and income and improvement in health.
