5th June is the World Environment Day! The environment is under attack as never before in human history. The signs are everywhere-abnormally high levels of CO,global warming,unprecedented floods in Europe, tornado in Oklohama,rising ocean levels,dwindling forest cover, destruction of marine life,oil spills,falling water tables and rising pestilence and famines in Africa.
If Mankind doesn't awaken now, a catastrophe of horrendous proportions is inevitable! We must realize that our eco-system is very fragile and cannot cope with human rapacity and greed.
The solution is to adopt a sustainable pattern of development. The Western dream of owning a house, an automobile and unbridled luxury is not in the larger interest. Instead of investing in nuclear plants a better solution is to explore and apply renewable sources of energy. Energy conservation should be high on the agenda. Use of paper should be avoided wherever possible. Digital Offices and schools are the future! Social responsibility and not profit-maximization should be the buzz-word for businesses.
Even Agriculture needs to be revamped. Organic farming and green houses should be encouraged. New and healthy varieties of crops should be adopted. Water should be conserved by recycling it.
Let us pledge to save the Environment!
