ENVIRONMENT
World environment day is celebrated on June 5th. This day is celebrated world wide to protect our environment. The word environment means 'the natural conditions in which we live such as land, water and air.' The surrounding environment is for all living organisms. By polluting the environment we are making it unfit for human habitation. We have inherited this from our ancestors. We have the duty to preserve it and handover it to next generation. Environment is destroyed in order to increase our standard of living. We are destroying future generations life for satisfying our needs. Future generation curse us for our mistakes. We must realise our mistake and take steps to protect our nature.
We humans are polluting our environment in many ways. First we can take the matter of air we breathe. Air is the mixture of many gases like carbon dioxide, oxygen, dust particles, so on. The air we breathe is also polluted. The overuse of vehicles and smoke eliminated from factories play a major role in polluting air.
Pollution of water is another serious problem. The water present in rivers and lakes became polluted and unfit for our use. Factories are pumping their waste into them.
The pollution also happens on land. We are dumping waste nearby the roads. The waste are tied in plastic bags. The plastics are thrown away. This makes the environment polluted.
Nowadays, people are affected with disease named COVID-19 world wide. It is caused by a virus called CORONA. People catch this disease from others who is affected by this virus. It is transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air. Now more than one lakh people died all over the world and more than seventeen lakh get affected by COVID-19. Also many people overcame this disease. In some cases of COVID-19 there may be no symptoms. Many people with COVID-19 only experience mild symptoms. To reduce the chance of affecting COVID-19 we must wash hands with soap, hand wash for at least twenty seconds or otherwise use alcohol based hand sanitizer. Now we are at quarantine and government asked us to be at home. We can use this time to get closer to our environment. We can start making kitchen garden. Try to make our environment clean.
Environment is for all organisms. We can protect our environment. If everybody decides this we can do every thing to protect the environment. Then the problem will be solved. Earth has everything enough to satisfy our needs, but not our greed.
