LIFE ON EARTH WITHOUT A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH !!

                                           LIFE ON EARTH WITHOUT A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH

Planet Earth, as of now, is the sole planet in our galaxy that can provide all the necessities required for the sustenance of human beings and for the continuity of the human race. But this Planet can be termed as an ‘Ailing Planet’, very similar to an individual, a patient, in declining health. We need to understand that the Planet is as well, an individual with its own metabolic needs and vital processes, which need to be respected and fulfilled appropriately for its continued and healthy existence. The illness of the Planet Earth is very well noticeable from the regular instances of floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes that have been shaking the world all over for quite some time. What is more evident from such instances is nature’s fury towards humans due to their selfish and unwise deeds.

Till the time, we humans don’t realize our duties and set of responsibilities we possess towards the environment around us, we shall keep on experiencing nature’s wrath in the form of disasters and our actions shall keep on deteriorating the environment around us. Awareness needs to be spread and the mindsets of the individuals need to change, they need to become more aware and responsible inhabitants of this Planet Earth. This kind of awareness is, soon spreading among humans, and is evident from this given instance. A zoo at Lusaka, Zambia, has a cage with a notice- ‘World’s Most Dangerous Animal’, and inside it, there’s no animal but just a mirror where the visitors can see themselves. This kind of awareness is being promoted among the world’s most dangerous animal- Human.

While, it has become a necessity in the present times, to focus on the responsibilities that we, humans possess towards nature, the governments are doing their part, making laws and policies in order to promote the message of environmental conservation. Here comes the irony, however, in the case of India, the areas that have been officially designated as tree lands, and grasslands, are already virtually treeless. This is where we stand today, we’re still not convinced by the fact that it’s necessary for us to realize our duties towards this Planet of ours, and it’s not just the authorities who need to focus on this, but we as citizens, and inhabitants of this planet need to focus on this.

Unless we, humans realize this, it’s gonna be tough for us to sustain on this planet, due to the deterioration of natural resources and constant depletion of vital natural minerals and elements. There comes the need for a Sustainable Approach towards life on Earth, in all different aspects including food, clothing, home appliances, etc., thus making sustainability, a way of living.

A sustainable approach to living would simply mean a way of utilizing the natural resources such that the needs of the present generations get fulfilled as well as the requirements of the future generation aren’t compromised. Such an approach to life shall be influential in determining human existence on Earth in the future.

Life without such an approach, on Earth, shall be tough to sustain and live through due to the adverse impacts that shall be observed in the Earth’s ecosystem as a consequence of our unwise, selfish, and foolish deeds. Thus, in order to ensure a safe, green, and clean planet, there’s a need to understand the responsibilities and duties that we possess towards Mother Nature and the way of living that we need to adopt- Sustainable Living...
