ENVIRONMENT.....
So why are we humans doing it?????????
Why don’t we care for our own
environment?????????
Is it because we have taken our mother earth
for granted or is it that we just don’t care about it?????????
Human action has triggered a vast cascade of environmental problems that now threaten the continued ability of both natural and human systems to flourish. Solving the critical environmental problems of global warming, water scarcity, pollution and biodiversity loss are perhaps the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Will we rise to meet them??

Human
beings have been polluting the environment with harmful materials on a regular
basis since the very beginning. All forms and every area of our environment is polluted
by human activities.
In spite of
bringing so much of awareness and the need to protect our environment there has
still been a lot of environmental damage due to improper use of things
causing a lot of disruptions in the natural balance of our ecosystem.
Control of
pollution doesn’t mean abandonment of existing human activities, it means to
dispose any form of waste appropriately, reordering, recycling or restructuring
the whole process with technology and knowledge to the advantage of our
environment.
The presence
of strict laws and the pollution boards and their efforts to limit the release
of harmful substances into the environment should be appreciated. But unfortunately
attempts at pollution control are often surpassed by the scale of the problem. Things
can fall in place only if there is an appropriate international standard with a
holistic approach and the need for every country to apply them universally and
at the earliest.
Though
pollution is a global problem and requires environmental, political and
economic initiative. We as individuals and common people can have a greater
influence as citizens. Once we are aware that it is a social problem, the need
to address our own consumption and disposal of waste becomes necessary. We
should make an effort to pay attention to combat pollution in our own small ways
starting with our home and surroundings.
If we all work together towards the common goal
of protecting our environment it will surely help the future generation to a
large extent.
“You cannot get through a single day without
having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and
you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.”
-Jane Goodall
