Protecting environment will surely protect us

Environment can exist without human but human can’t exist without environment

For centuries we have been drilling out the uses of every known environment for the benefit of ourselves and over exploiting for the coming generation without taking much into a serious consideration of protecting it.                                                                                  Indeed, with the help of environment we were able to achieve far and vast.    But in due time, there has been a tremendous effect on our very own environment which people often see it as an only usable and beneficial from them. Neither the people were wrong nor the actions upon the environment was wrong, what lies in-between the action and the doer simply doesn’t produce the source of overwhelming it or in the sense of protecting it as it is rightly known that no matter how much time it takes, every action do have an equal and opposite outcomes (Newton’s third law).

Does it mean that we were too blind to see our very own actions and its effects?

Opacus not with the vision of seeing it but the very knowledge of knowing it can generate simultaneously with the time immemorial.                               Gone are those days when the need of resources were at the highest peak and now it is time for us to implement the very knowledge of promoting it, preserving it and protecting it into a better uses and for the greater possibilities.

Do you prefer to walk on a pedestrian where the litters and garbage were thrown everywhere roughly and the stinking foul smell intermixed along with the rotten dead mice and lizard stuck up to your nose?

How peaceful do we feel when we visit the hilly areas and at that moment, when you get mesmerised the pleasant scenarios given by the environment. Isn’t it worth more than a million dollar? 

Environment itself has so many components that we often neglect and don’t acknowledge the beauty of it.                                                                      Further we’re unable to cooperate or deal with many of its incidents.             And once man has acted upon it, no matter how far away he runs or how low he hides, environment will surely reply back to us with its ever changing nature.              

 

We were all very much noted on the point that environment taking further consideration as an example of a flower, which gives its fragrant to everyone no matter how the outer appearance may differ. Therefore it is not only a process of conserving it but also a very duty of each and every one of us in protecting it from further destructions.

The rise in the global temperature and the major destructions by the environment not only proved us the misuses of our environment but it also shows the greater fear of reoccurring it over again at other places.                                                                                               The sudden destruction of earthquake which led thousands of people into terror and the collapsing of the building further resulted into homelessness for uncountable people to bear the consequences due to over exploitation of human nature.                                                                                                                The meltdown of glaciers in the Himalayas indeed predicts us the rise of Ocean level. As the snow water flows down its path towards the ocean, it affects the people living along the riverside and the coastal regions.                                 The suicidal case of farmers over many parts of India strongly signifies the hard labour and unyielding crops due to sudden disturbance upon the environment. In some places a single drop of rainfall can be considered as a faith of God’s shower.                                                                                                               All we know is that the exclusive areas were only affected but the consequences were far more destructive.                                                                             Where there’s a scarcity of water in some areas, there’s also an excess of rainfall in some other parts (Chennai). People were divested by the over flowing of water on the roads and the blockage of traffic which resulted into a nationwide problematic.                                                                               The continuous rainfall which later turns into a flood become a greater threat towards the livelihood. The blockage of drainage system by the human waste and the unwanted ravages creates the problem for every society to live up with its daily activities.    

Indeed, we occasionally see that the livelihood of human is the accumulation of resources from the environment and the relative bounce back of our misdeed were also affected by the over exploitation of resources.                                                             Further, environment can also affect us with a life threatening diseases created by ourselves. Taking into consideration of diseases like chlorella, hepatitis, malaria, Ebola etc and the recently outbreak of Zika viruses which has no certainty of treatment.                                                                                      Cutting a tree can give us timbers but maintaining it and preserving it properly can give us something much more yet people hardly see and recognises it.                                           Protection doesn’t mean as a divine source of power that can magically illuminate us but the concept actually mean a lot more for the survival of the species.                                                                                                            Thus the mind should set only for the proper direction in utilisation of every environmental resource so that the consequences were later not only affected by us and but also taking into far greater view of living a better and more meaningful life.

When you take something from environment, it is your duty to give something back.

Let us not increases the number of endangered species and let us not categorised our own species in the list for we still have time to change the course of our very own misdeed. We need to consider it as a venial and start doing something for the environment.                                                                                             If you have a glimpse of the future for how you would want, greatly lies in the hands of you. You can continue to acknowledge the process of protecting it or you can simply ignore it for some eras and just like dinosaurs, someday our species will extinct in due time.      

There are no such books you will find that environment should be misuse but in reality the human nature had gone beyond the unimaginable way of thinking and for many years we have and we still prefer to drill out as much as we could from the environment.                      

When we can’t understand the basic concept of protecting the environment we’re doomed for eternal and our future generations have full rights to sue us in any way.                                              

So keeping everything into eutaxy, we should find every possible ways in protecting our very own environment.                  

All we need to do is to believe in nature.

But one shouldn’t act too limacine.
