World Environment Day was remembered yesterday, being celebrated today and will be forgotten by tomorrow. Why should we huddle and discuss about this issue only today and not do our bit every day? Can we start acting (not reacting) about this perishing planet?
Mother Earth is the most beautiful of all planets and is gifted with livable conditions as compared to others. The increasing need to simplify our daily lives would be actually affecting our entire life and there wouldn’t be anything left for the generations to come.
The so called and claimed Green Earth will be extinct soon, if we do not act responsible.
The tree felling only to lay roads, the poison emitting industries, the plastic bandwagons, the deforestation, the infinite pollution unchecked vehicles are only a few which are endangering our homes. I agree that few aspects are beyond our abilities, but there are few more which are very much achievable at our level.
My pick is to ban plastic. I do not recommend using paper bags as a replacement, as they consume equal or more time as plastic to decompose.
- Let us use cloth bags and encourage others as well. This will help the diminishing society of handlooms.
- Let us spread the awareness of the devastating effects of plastic pollution. I am talking about the malls and the grocery stores!
- If someone is comfortable using the plastic bags, ask them to reuse those carry bags and not include any more to their stock of plastic items.
- Let us initiate a ‘Ban Plastic week’!
- Let us be responsible!
A million small droplets can surely make an ocean! Can we make a difference? Shoot your ideas to save our planet..our home!
