It is believed that the lungs of a commoner in an urban society is much darker by the time of death than an average rural inhabitant. With the way our lifestyles have changed, so have the quality of our lives. We sure have better luxuries, but our body can not boast of the same.
Today, for every small commutation, we require a vehicle. A day without electricity is unthinkable, nobody bothering to think about how much pollution thermal power plants cause as they waste this casually. Our lives have been so controlled by the way our lifestyle has changed with the coming of these new technological advances that we forget to think about its effect on nature.
Coupled with all of these are the festivals like Diwali. Today, with the migration of Indians all over the country, these festivals are being celebrated more and with much more enthusiasm. People who did not observe these traditions do so now due to this, air pollution increasing all the while.
As our lifestyles change, we must never forget our roots. It is going to be impossible for us to live a decent life without the support of nature. The sooner we take steps to reduce pollution, the better it is for our future generations.
Changing Socio-cultural Lifestyle Affecting Environment
There is no denying the fact that changing socio-cultural lifestyles affecting the quality of environment. The recent economic development, industrialization, and urbanization have affected the environment colossally. Owing to the above mentioned developments there has been a huge migration of rural population to towns, cities and metro-cities. As a result they have become epicenters of environmental degradation leading to unprecedented air, land, water and general pollution.
With the rise in economic prosperity, more houses, buildings, vehicles, roads, schools, hospitals, etc. imply cutting of more and more trees, which any wise-man will say is destruction of more and more air-filters. More number of vehicles means more amount of emissions of unhealthy gases into the atmosphere, which means further deterioration of air pollution.
The bitter truth is each change in man’s socio-cultural lifestyle is affecting the environment adversely. Drastic socio-cultural lifestyle management is required to keep the environment protected.
