Nature -Our Mother
“If you can’t be in awe of Mother Nature, there’s
something wrong with you.”
-Alex Trebek
People sometimes call nature "Mother Nature” because it can heal, nurture, or destroy. Others believe it to a God because of the power it has over humans. She can bring joy or happiness. Storms, rain, snow, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are caused by Mother Nature. It is showing its ugly and evil side. Nature can bring on bad weather, which can destroy and create total cause on humans. People's lives are very constant and predictable. But with nature, nothing is constant. I am going to tell you more about nature and the problems faced by the nature.
'What is nature'
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical,
or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to
the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life
in general. Indian philosophy has defined ‘Nature’
(Prakriti), as the primal energy of life, always young
and always potent. It is the eternal womb from where
everything is released and into which they return.Now lets see what are the problems which destroys our nature.Now lets see what are the problems which destroys our nature.
'The problems faced by nature'
1. Climate change- Heat waves, droughts, flooding,
storms, decrease in crop yields, and rising sea levels
are just some of the effects we’re seeing from climate
change.
2. Deforestation- Deforestation is one cause of
climate change. But beyond that, it’s also responsible
for the depletion of oxygen in the atmosphere and the
displacement of wildlife.
3. Pollution- According to the World Health
Organization, “air pollution is now the world’s largest
single environmental health risk.” That’s because it’s
responsible for approximately 3.4 million death a year
(according to a 2012 study).
4. Loss of biodiversity- As a result of overfishing,
deforestation, habitat destruction, pollution, and
other factors, more plants and animals are nearing
extinction. Even the smallest disruption to an
ecosystem can have a domino effect that affects us
all.
5. Over-fishing- For far too long we’ve taken the
ocean for granted, discarding unwanted waste there
and taking from it without considering therepercussions. Now, it’s pay day. Because of
irresponsible fishing, many species of fish are on the
brink of extinction.
How can we solve this problems?????
'Solutions for the problems'
1. Climate change -Reducing energy demand by
increasing energy efficiency, phasing out fossil fuels
by switching to low-carbon energy sources, and
removing carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere.
2. Deforestation- There is only one way for this plant
a tree(afforestation).
3. Pollution- The most basic solution for air pollution
is to move away from fossil fuels, replacing them with
alternative energies like solar, wind and geothermal.
4. Loss of biodiversity- The principal solutions to
biodiversity loss are the reduction of land and soil
degradation, especially related to agriculture, and the
integration of biodiversity strategies with other major
environmental concerns such as climate change, and
also with human development concerns such as
poverty reduction
.5. Over-fishing- Reform, subsidies, and declaring
certain areas of the sea off-limits to non-sustainable
fishing are probably the best ways to combat
over-fishing. Individual consumer choices, like
purchasing fish from sustainable fisheries and fish
farms, are also a great way to encourage the growth
of sustainable fishing.
And some common tips-
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
1. Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning.
2. Replace Your Light Bulbs.
3. Drive Less and Drive Smart.
4. Buy Energy-Efficient Products.
5. Use Less Hot Water.
6. Use the "Off" Switch.
'Conclusion'
Mahatma Gandhi once said “Earth provides enough to
satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s
greed”. We have faced the flood last year. There is
earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. Occurring in nature. If
nature is our mother why does this happen. It’s our
greed to extract more and more from good that turns
it evil. Therefore, if we continue contaminate nature,
we will all have to face our end. So let us all take care
of our nature and protect it and our world.
