When Industrial Revolution hit Europe in the nineteenth century, the world hailed the advent of a glorious new age. It was a brave new world - a world of steam engines and motor cars. Then came aeroplane, the spacecraft and finally, computers! Great cities all over world echoed with the sound of factory sirens and the roar of machinery.
Little did anyone foresee the havoc that was to be caused by this attack on nature. It was left to a few lost souls in the wilderness who spoke to us as prophets of doom. But their cries were submerged in the black smoke rushing out from the tall chimneys of a million industrial houses and drowned by the din of metallic monsters.
Today, our planet has reached a stage when environmental pollution is threatening to destroy it. Try to imagine a time when there will be no flowers, no butterflies, no fish; when the rain will be black in colour. This could soon become a reality if we do not take immediate steps to stop pollution. Today, rivers are drying up and instead of forests, we have concrete jungles.
We must grow more trees. Stop killing wild animals. Avoid using plastic bags. Stop littering. Use less petrol, use more environmental-friendly products – the list of do's and don'ts is endless. We must all do our bit towards achieving a pollution-free environment – otherwise we will be destroyed by a monster of our own creation.
