Answer:
With the recent outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, there is uncertainty around the world. Nobody can tell when we are going to get rid of this virus completely. The terrifying black clouds of coronavirus have enveloped almost every part of the world, spreading its vibes of fear among the people.
Without any doubt, this pandemic is the most disruptive experience of our lives. Together we anticipate seeing the brighter days for the light in our dark lives. In this time of chaos, we must not ignore the possible silver lining. Despite the panic and human loss, earth is healing.
As the global death toll from coronavirus is increasing every day, governments have locked down their citizens to prevent the local transmission of the disease. People around the world are practicing social distancing and staying in their homes. This has not only helped to decrease the spread of this pandemic but it is also helping mother earth to heal. Earth is becoming cleaner.
China has reported a significant improvement in its air quality. Fossil fuel burning is the major contributor to air pollution throughout the world. 40% reduction in emissions has been observed due to a restriction on transportation and closure of power plants and factories.
According to the European Space Agency, a decrease in particulate matter was observed in the air. Particulate matter concentration in this February was compared with the past three years, surprisingly, studies revealed 20-30% reduction over China. The skies are blue and sunny these days while they were covered with smoke in normal circumstances.
One of the major reductions in pollution levels could be seen over the city of Wuhan which was put under a strict lockdown in late January. It is a city of 11 million and serves a hub for different industries. According to NASA, nitrogen dioxide levels across eastern and central China have been 10-30% lower than normal. Nitrogen dioxide levels in Italy have also fallen by about 40%
It is unfortunate that Italy is declared as the epicenter of coronavirus but the silver lining is that Venice canals have cleared up. As there is a lockdown in the country, boating is banned and there are no tourists around. Swans, dolphins, and fishes are making their way to the waters of Venice.
The water is blue and clear. The apparent cleanliness of the water is not just attributed to a lack of pollution but also to the absence of motorized boats, which normally churns up the muddy canal floor
India is also under lockdown from the past few days. The reduction in Mumbai Marine Drive has been observed which is due to decreased water traffic. The absence of water transportation has led people to witness a school of dolphins playing in the water.
It is the right time to say that our planet would breathe a long sigh of relief if humans were to vanish. But this is not how it should be. We should take the opportunity of this lockdown to reflect and see how we can be more organized and live in harmony with nature.
With so many industries shutting down due to the corona pandemic, it is the ideal time for them to brainstorm plans to return more environmentally conscious. If companies would change their plans to consider the environment, this small and reasonably fast, change we are seeing now could continue to change the fate of planet earth.

Azure skies, pristine water bodies, sparkling snow, golden beaches, green mountains and a light breeze - COVID-19 is over and the earth has healed.
Too good to be true? Maybe, but too good to be even partially true? Not really.
The only cause of ambiguity is us, all of us.
The earth has been healing itself while we stay locked down in our houses. There are reports of Ganges water being sparkling clean, the Himalayas being visible from towns in Punjab, ozone layer sealing, air quality index improving significantly, birds singing in our cities, flamingos flocking Mumbai, animals coming out of hiding and roaming on the streets across various towns, Venice streams running clear and many more.While it is debatable whether this is an outcome of the coronavirus pandemic only, for the lack of any stronger correlation it is safe to assume that at least partially it is. And hence, if all it took for the earth to heal was a month and half of no human intervention, it shows the power nature possesses to make things right; and the power humans possess to just make them wrong.
Yudhishtir had told Yaksha that the biggest irony of life is that we encounter people dying every day and yet live like immortals. One of the many reflections of this thought is the incessant plundering of nature done by mankind, under the false notion of being invincible and superior; overlooking the dependency on that very nature for survival. The medical systems of the first world countries of the EU and USA are collapsing under the COVID-19 impact, and it is for us to realize how small and helpless we are if the cosmos decides to take over.As we grapple with the lives we have been pushed into, let's take this time to also plan on what we will do after things normalize - what parts of normal would we want to go back to.There are notions of what government should be doing to ensure this does not repeat and the Earth stays safe, ranging from stricter industrial policies, better hygiene and new rules around gatherings.
There are also people who want to start dialogues and even revolutions around climatic change, safety, education and health, even boycotting certain nations.
However, not all of us are revolutionaries and not all changes are possible at a broad level. What is possible is a small bit from all of us, a drop in the ocean but nevertheless a contribution to the whole.
Can we waste a little bit less water? Can we use a little less paper? Can we plant the seed of the fruit we just ate? Can we feed that stray instead of throwing food in the trash? Can we walk and cycle a bit more and drive a bit less? Recycle? Be more responsible tourists and clean up after ourselves? Not throw garbage in our water bodies? Or on the roads? Can we all learn to co-exist with all forms of nature with a bit more responsibility?
