On "World Environment Day ", To Earthπwith love-
Capitalism has gifted us with a comfortable modern lifestyle, replete with technological advancements. The same has killed the ecosystem all around, rendering the planet gasping for respite from this onslaught. We are facing a tipping point and thus raising the need to re-evaluate our lifestyles, and our concepts of growth and development. If we do not act now,we will end up destroying ourselves. Already the number of people getting sick, who require treatment for diseases caused by air and water pollution, is on the rise. Scientists keep on reminding people of Global warming, of glaciers melting. But it has only led people to lead ostentatious lives?? So, nothing has changed.
It is only when people realize that each of their small interventions is going to make a difference, little by little, that they will begin to act responsibly then it's going to make a difference.
Each of us can start by saying NO To Plastics especially single use plastic that is what the theme of this year's environment day- Beating Plastic Pollution ; Planting more trees π΄ especially oxygen giving and air purifying like Peepal and Neem. Instead of using air- purifiers, keep indoor plants like Areca Palm, Snake plant, Money Plant,Aloe Vera and Peace Lilly ; Saving Water- each drop mattersπ§; Walking or Using bicycle π² whenever possible.
If we want to change our surroundings, we have to first change our own lifestyle. Each of us has to make a contribution to the planet and we need to start doing this right away.
Let me remind you that nature knows how to act by itself.. She knows how to balance things out. But when she creates a balance, this balance could go against us. Time is ticking fast SO ACT NOW.
