Small acts, Big Impact
Anyone
venturing into Nature will be enraptured by its resplendence. There is something
about nature that holds everyone spellbound. The manifestation of this power is
a state of ecstasy, of bliss .No words can precisely express the feeling. All
the same, I will make an attempt.
Spending
quality time in the breathtaking expanses establishes that we are only a
minuscule speck in the boundless canvas called Nature. An overpowering feeling
that we are not separate from nature and that there is some consciousness which
is common to everything gradually sinks in. we are able to see above petty
issues and are engulfed in joy which ultimately calms our mind.
How does
nature sustain us?
Food,
water, medicine, materials for shelter, nutrients and everything that is
required for life to thrive on this planet is provided by the nature. Weather patterns
and seasons follow the Laws of Nature.
Unfortunately,Our planet is currently suffering environmental degradation and devastation at a staggering rate. Ecosystems are being increasingly subjected to adverse effects of human avariciousness due to population explosion . Climate change due to loss of habitat , fragmentation , proliferation of invasive species, collection of toxic pollutants have wrecked natural and biological systems and is becoming a cause for grave concern for the survival of countless species .
Trees are
being cut down , and then
concrete structures “Planted”
The
world will face a great deal of
challenges in the future. Floods, cyclones, forest fires, drought, and
other disasters are happening more
frequently.Nature is sending out the distress signals.
Environment needs to be healed, and it’s the humans’ responsibility because we survive on earth, and enjoy the bountiful resources of nature. But, If we assume that it is our right to plunder & shatter the biological clock, we need to accept that nature too possesses its own mechanism to survive, sustain & flourish and once unleashed it can spell doom for Humans.
Nothing
can sum up the situation better than the Chinese Proverb “The
best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago…… The second-best time is NOW.”
As an incorrigible wilderness freak, I often discuss with friends and experts about the scale of Environmental devastation
and specifically what each one of us should be doing about it. While it’s a simple question,
it isn’t as simple to answer!
Mother Earth
is a munificent giver and we could help a bit by reciprocating. Though a large number of people understand
the need for environmental protection they wait for that small nudge from the
back to get going.
Businesses are indicating their readiness to step up.As
awareness about this urgent issue is rising, so too have corporate efforts. The number of
national and community level initiatives is also increasing.
However
public participation in environmental
protection plays a pivotal role in promoting a strong and gratifying
relationship between society and the environment.
The fundamental duty of each citizen regarding
environment is clearly enshrined in our *constitution . It states, “It should be the duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve
the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to
have compassion for the living creatures”.*under Article 51A(g)
Instead of just brooding over having a better environment if
every citizen Starts taking action to protect the environment, future
generations will be assured of getting a
better planet to live on. No deed is too
big or too small. It is the action that matters..
Ultimately, tackling the effects of environment degradation is
vital , & also a moral and compassionate one. Our commitment should be
towards making mother earth a better
place for other beings. By taking action to revive environment, habitats and
wildlife, we can ensure that we leave a healthy and sustainable planet for
future generations.
