എസ്.വി. വി.എച്ച്. കൊഡലമോഗർ/അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം/ LET'S STEP TOWARDS A BRIGHT FUTURE
LET'S STEP TOWARDS A BRIGHT FUTURE Earth is a glorious planet gifted with all the resources required to live.All the creatures has the right to live on earth.Today droughts are intensifying, our oceans are warming and acidying,due to the rise in temperature ice sheets are melting, pollution attacked air,water and soil.These adversely affected human health and many creatures too.All this is mainly caused by human activities which harm the earth in ways more than one.Climate change is our single greatest security threat today.Therefore an argent need has arisen to tackle this issue straight away.
The benefits of an undefiled environment are many ;for instance a healthy tree purifies the air and supplies oxygen for living beings to breathe. It harmonizes the elements and increases life expectancy.It's shade provides a refreshing place to rest.It brings rain at the right time.It nourishes crops and livestock and balances the temperature. It contributes to an attractive landscape and continually replenishes it's surroundings.It brings about natural development in the spheres of education,economics and so forth.There are plants which clean the soil too. Eg:-'Rinorea nicoliferra'is a plant which absorbs nickel pollution of soil.By this we can imagine that how deforestation affects the life on earth. "Water and air are the two essential fluids on which all life depends have become global garbage cans" these words of 'Jacques Cousteau ' reflects the present condition of the world.Nuclear reactors,thermal power plants,industries,vehicles depend upon conventional energy sources for fuels.Combustion of fossil fuels liberate harmful gases into the atmosphere. Looking these tecnology has developed AIR-INK which is produced by condensing soot based gaseous effluents generated by air pollution due to incomplete combustion of fossil fuels.By this the pollutants which have been in the lungs of millions of people or mixed into water, land are now beautifully resting as art,print and composites.We are being choked to death by the amount of plastic and waste water we let into the rivers.It is killing our oceans.This threatened aquatic life.It enter's into our bodies through the fish we eat. Plastics were invented to enhance our daily activities. Versatile,light weight,low cost,highly durable, water proof etc were the advantages of plastics. Burning of plastics also cause many health issues.It takes thousands of years for plastics to break down in the soil.We should adopt Bangladesh and rwanda as role models and work for the success of missions like 'swachh bharath'and 'harita keralam'. Therefore to overcome plastic pollution we should follow reuse,reduce,and recycle. It is not impossible to live without plastic. We can get rid of plastic if we try hard. Agriculture is the backbone of our nation.As the population increases more production is also needed.So to get high yield farmers depend upon chemical fertilizers and pesticides.Once it will result in high yield but it will destroy the fertility of the soil.Also the products will be poisonous.As a solution for this,we can cultivate some of the vegetables in our yards.Also we can use biowastes of our homes as fertilizers.We can consume poison free food too.... Today the world around us is made up of poisons and it is the time for action.Now we should be alert of 'LAURENCE OVERMIRE' s words "We are the last generation with a real opportunity to save the world".If we get aware of the danger can cause by human interventions we can save this earth for tomorrow.Step towards a clean green and healthy future.
