On my way to office I saw a banner hanging upside down which has written on it-"Melting Ice - A Hot Topic".Below it was written World Environment Day, June 5.That day has gone long ago, so we will think about it next year.Nowadays we need an intimidation to know when to take care of nature and only on this day we need to have any concern about the Nature. Long scheduled meetings will be held, then rally's will be arranged and all this only on that particular day. Then slowly we get us engaged into other things that has nothing to do with nature preservation.The same person who was giving an unending lecture on Nature preservation will be using ultra modern equipments that will inturn damamge the nature's integrity.
Why should we be concerned about the nature after all? We still take things for granted from Nature. How come a single ecosystem can manage all the needs of the ever consuming nature of Human beings? It cannot be labelled as needs,it is pure greed of the humans that has depleted the cradle of nature into nothing. When will human get satisfied? Never. Ya, the Ice is melting , nowadays this topic is frequently seen on the front page. But what did we do about tht, we just feel sorry for that and then continue with what we do daily. Even if we want to do something, a simple feeling that "what can I as an individual can do to change things? Nothing". And that's the end of everything.
Whatever happens Science will find a solution to all the problems, thinking this way we tend to forget that this is the same science which has pushed us to this extreme. The industrialisation, the fast forward lifestyle everything has a major part to play in this growing unstability of Nature to sustain things. In the G8 summit, the EU(European Union) has given the world 15 years time to reverse the effects that was caused due to rapid industrialisation for past 2-3 centuries. Is it possible? No. How can we change things that happened over 300 years in just 15 years, but we can buy some more time by following the simple rules of life. Sharing means of transport, car pooling, saving electricity and water and lot of other things that we find daily in our newspapers and so on.Dont you think we have a responsibility towards the mother Nature. To take care of her so that our next generation can breathe freely and live. Dont you think we have a moral responsibilty to give them the nature's asset that our great grandfathers had left for us. Dont we?? Why wait for a new year to think about a resolution? Can't we start from today? From now itself?? Can't we??
