Our Mother nature Earth is a beautiful living planet in the Universe and the common habitat of more than 7 billion human population and millions of species of biodiversity. It provides us with food, shelter, and most of our requirements.

Despite unavoidable free services provided by the earth to humans, we are not able to pay off her kindness to us. Rather we humans are being cruel to our mother nature with our selfish activities. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.”

Every day we produce tons of degradable and non-degradable waste and throw it anywhere recklessly. Smoke and harmful gases from our homes, vehicles, and industries are suffocating her. We are disposing of dirty sewage, drainage, and even chemicals recklessly, although we know that more than 7 billion humans, along with all plants and animals in this world, rely on water for their lives. If we aren’t concentrating on saving those water resources, then in near future water may be as expensive as PETROL or one-day people may die due to thirst. Despite huge noise by our jumbo population itself, we use loudspeakers for our entertainment & industries, airplanes, or other noisy vehicles for our luxury. We destroy forests for agriculture & settlement. We build huge buildings, roads & factories beyond her carrying capacity. The establishment of nuclear reactors vastly affects the environment & human lives.

Harmful gases emitted by ACs, refrigerators, industries & vehicles are depleting ozone layer & increasing our exposure to very harmful UV rays of sun leading us towards various skin diseases, eye cataract & even cancer. Wastes like plastics & other non-degradable wastes like insecticides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, etc. highly degrade soil quality & decrease agricultural products & kill soil microorganisms & decomposers.

Water pollution increases the risk of water-borne diseases like cholera, dysentery, etc. and lead & arsenic highly degrade our mental ability & causes the extinction of many aquatic animals. Air pollution causes airborne diseases like asthma in humans & animals and disturbs the whole metabolism process in plants. Noise pollution causes insomnia & heart diseases in humans. Deforestation is leading to natural calamities like floods, soil erosion temperature increases and changed rainfall distribution, drought, loss of valuable biodiversity, decreased oxygen density, etc. The burning issues in the world at present are “Climate Change & Greenhouse Effect”.

Solutions to environmental problems are not impossible for superior creatures like humans if they are committed. As global citizens, we too have the responsibilities to our mother earth. Our first role in nature is to reduce our carbon footprint via eco-friendly activities. We should use compostable bamboo products in our daily life such as reusable wooden cutlery, eco-friendly drinking water bottle, all cotton and linen produce bags, etc.

Thus, for the sustainability of our planet, we should promise to fulfill our responsibilities towards Mother Nature as a global citizen to protect our living planet from deterioration & to handover clean & green planet to our future generations. Maybe our single efforts may seem small but if thousands of people can unite together towards nature conservation then one day our efforts will be a drastic step to protect our motherland Earth from destruction.
