Happy Earth Day
Oh wow! It’s Earth Day! Yes,
every year this day as on 22nd April is celebrated where worldwide events
are held to demonstrate favor support of environment protection. But the so-called
politics and the Indian public is terrible at understanding little things. World’s
Environmentalists and thinkers have been trying to aware people through many innovative ways. Yes the
intensity of it is high in media these days although in some less useful way. The problem with Indians is that
many of us are hypocrites, Yes HYPOCRITES! Why? I tell you why. How many has
any problem with the fact and have the awareness that deforestation has reached on another level? I hardly
see any, no we are busy in many other trivialities. We through plastics in the streets in such an unforgivable way and we don't even think how these small events could structure our environment but
we are going to wish the people “Happy Earth Day” on FB & WHATSAPP, some
will even change their profile picture. I am not saying that we all are like
that. No, it can’t be, otherwise it would get hard to survive. It is these some
who terribly understand the Earth as their own property. Such is the growing level
of the brand activities that we do for which we have to stick God’s image tiles on the
institutional or societal walls to prevent the walls from people who spit chewed Gutkha and
leave the wall ashamed.
Yes, I feel that the problem is growing. I live around
the equator where the percentage of Sun’s ray falling to earth is way maximum from the poles.
We will have to face the direct effect of the Global Warming. Past some years we are observing that winter is getting shorter and summer is getting severe with meagre & erratic rain falls on unexpected lands. Why is the
fishing taking place at such a pace that is leaving many species on the verge
of extinction? I question, where is the government? Where is the ruling authority? I feel bad when someone
quote that they could not change their lifestyles just because of Global
Warming. People who try to pollute the environment should be prohibited to enter
in those zones; they don’t deserve to stand over at that piece of land. 30% of
the Indian land has already turned to deserts and it is increasing. Many places are
under severe draughts. Do you hear? The problem is serious. There is a small
girl away from your luxuries who is walking miles "daily" and wait in a long queue to fetch water for
everyday purposes from that single un-dried lake around the village and that too
naked leg at peak hot summer.
No, I know that you haven’t gathered enough time
to peak out of your AC car window to the poor children around the traffics. In a
single exotic wedding we waste enough quantity of food as these parties don’t have
any estimate of people. The leftover food is thrown at the garbage to rot
aside. In many metro cities, water supply regulation has severely been started.
The cost of the usable and the drinkable water has been increasing and the
thought is so big & disturbing that it does not go down below to my throat. In water-scarce places entrepreneurs are inventing lotions that can be used as an alternative to bathing with water! No, I guess you haven't heard of it.
It is time that all of us people start
to understand the problem bit more early that climate change is real but the
effects of the same is more real as can be seen in the erratic behavior of the
climate change, excess rain and snow falls , draughts , earthquakes, tornados
and the volcanoes. We must understand that we have to plant more trees to support
ourselves with fresh air and stable adaptable climate. Take Care that you do not get dehydrated on a sunny day!
At last, “Happy
Earth Day”
