Environment Protection

On every 5th of June, we celebrate International Environment day. The first International Environmental meet was held on June 5th, at Sack Home in America. The representatives of all the Nations have participated in the summit. They have discussed regarding the steps to be taken to protect the environment in depth and passed on one resolution to protect the environment. The then prime Minister late smt. Indira Gandhi has participated in the summit, as our representative.

While we talk of protecting environment, it is required to know what is environment. The earth, air, water pervading in and around the universe, irrespective of surface or underground, or living or nonliving elements, is called the environment. These are all balanced in the Nature. When these all are in uniform balancing state, the Natural balance is arrived at.

One should not forget that man is a derivative of Nature. He has to live with Nature. But, his selfishness did not permit him to live with nature. He is damaging the ecological balances, thus causing disturbances in the nature.

Nature is blessed with a good quality, which is balancing all the natural resources. Sun gives us heat. Sunrays swallow the seawater and give us rains. Rains support crops. Crops are needed for our living. Trees in nature inhale the hydrogen, which we exhale and give us oxygen. Trees give us rains, food etc. Every creature in the creation of God has its own way of living. It has also had its own contribution in the direction of ecological balancing in the Nature. The hydrogen generated by the vehicles and the Industrial machines, we use is destructing the purity of the Nature.

The ultra violet rays delivered from the Sun are very injurious to us. To protect the universe from such ultra violet rays, there is one layer between the Sun and the Earth, called as OZONE LAYER. There is a danger of getting a whole to the OZONE LAYER due to environmental pollution. The environmental scientists recognized the hazard and warned the entire world.

It is a fact that the environmental pollution is a universal problem. It is now a high time for every Nation to pay high attention and all possible steps are to be taken to minimize the environmental pollution if not totally eradicated. It should be under taken on top priority and combined efforts are to be initiated. Every individual has to think of it, and should do whatever he could sincerely, on war foot basis. We should not forget that our prosperity and well being is based on environmental purity.

The environmental pollution is mainly due to

1) Air pollution
2) Water pollution
3) Sound pollution
4) Pollution due to Geological disturbances

In addition to the above, usage of our resources unlimitedly and ignoring of socio-economic balances are also causing for ecological imbalances.

Now it is our turn to think whether controlling of pollution is in our hands? And is it possible with us? Then the answer should be yes.
1) If we think of it in a right direction if not totally, we can minimize such pollution.
2) Better fight and loose. Trail may give us result, but inertness will present defeat only.

Now let us think how best we can reduce air pollution.

1) Regular sprinkling of water in dust areas.
2) Better to burry the wastage in pits instead of burning.
3) Usage of Liquid petroleum gas in place of coal and
Maintaining and checking up of pollution of vehicles regularly.
4) Minimizing the usage of plastic.

Now let us think how best we can reduce water pollution.

1) Limiting the usage of water
2) Attending the leakages immediately
3) Avoiding usages of open drainages
4) To be cautious regarding wastage is not deposited in open drain systems.
5) Adopting rainwater harvest system.
6) To see that the water used in our house is reached to the plants.
Now let us think how best we can reduce Sound pollution

1) Reduce the sound out put of TV and Tape recorder to the extent possible.
2) Use silencers in vehicles
3) Plantation around the house will restrict out side sound waves entering in to the house.

Being little cautious and implementing self-restraint we can make the environment free of pollution and we will have a healthy atmosphere.

Now let us think how best we can reduce the pollution due to Geological disturbances

1) Avoid subsidence of earth.
2) Arranging gutters so that the water is not stored in subsidence land.
3) Plantation to the extent possible.

Now let us think how best we can reduce the socio-economic pollution

1) Do not waste money
2) Avoid bad habits
3) Implement Family planning

It is once again reiterated that if not we protect the environment our future will be in dark. Now let us see, the consequences we may have to face if we ignore healthy environment.

1) Temperature will grow abnormally.
2) Tanks will have no water; we may have to suffer for drinking water.
3) Fertile lands will become deserts.

To avoid such danger

1) Use only traditional fertilizers and avoid usage of chemical fertilizers.
2) Burry the wastage in pits and convert it as fertilizer.
3) Cultivate rain pits.
4) Plantation work is to be taken up both sides of roads.
5) Usage of electronic instruments in place of mechanical instruments.

While concluding let us have a loin eye on the topics we had discussed

1) The existence of human being will be badly affected, if the environment balance is not maintained.
2) Utmost interest is to be shown to-wards sanitation.
3) Avoid wastage of electricity and water.
4) Harvesting of water is to be taken up on war foot basis.
5) Adopt family planning as a social responsibility.
6) Restrict infectious diseases.
Save environment for our better future.
