Out of the many wonders that are there present in the world, which matters the most now is this piece of wilderness. Yes, its not man made but is an art made by God Himself. While valuing and admiring the beauty of all those wonders of the world we tend to forget what deserves our attention. The question now is, how much more time do we have in our hands to fight for Nature and not against it. It’s getting depleted at a much faster rate than its replenished. We are draining all our natural resources at a rapid rate without any effort to refill them. At a later stage sustainability will become questionable, surviving will become a challenge itself. Cutting trees, deforestation of vast lands for various other purposes, building of cities, townships, growing as a community is all a part of development, but one has to realise we’ll have to live within the ecosystem, grow together with the trees and other forms of life that prevails and dwells along with us, value the ones that can’t speak for themselves. Now, that’s evolution. We can’t take our motherland for granted, anymore. We cannot afford to do as we feel like any further. We need to halt. Question our actions. Be the change in order to see it. Don’t behave irresponsibly. Plant a seed. Leave your mark on this beautiful homeland. Happy World Environment Day.
We have listed out 7 things you can do to contribute to the green revolution.
Home It was of brick, it was of stone. It was of paint, it was of windows. And they called it home. Sinister was the quake which shook the Earth to its core Down went the home, the brick and the stone. The little boy toddled the boulevard, groping for a thriving home. There in lap of a Banyan wild, he saw a bird napping with no care in the world. Enticed by the promise of peace he moved. On having reached, he tucked himself under the shed of green. Quickly came sleep, walking down his forehead. The broken canvas wore drastic contrast, this while. On one end was the colour of tranquillity playing on the innocent boy’s face. The spectacle of his broken home was borne by the canvases other end.
Today when everything has become still and has come to a halt, the earth is breathing. The mother that has been taking care of us since god knows when has finally been able to take some time off and take rest. For years we have been evolving for the better, and with each evolution we are advancing towards perfection and striving to become flawless. But with this due course of constant methodical approach of us towards achieving our goal and continuing with the cycle of evolution, we tend to take one thing for granted- that’s the natural resources and our earth- everybody’s home. It seems it has become our duty and a sole objective to demolish this everyone’s home while building one for our own and only protecting it against everything. We don’t realise we are making our home/houses/palaces – anything you may want to call it – on the earth itself. We are sharing the land not owning it. You may own a land because the paperwork says so but what happens when you die. You go back to where you came from. You are born from mother earth, and you go back to her when you die. So while living on this place make every day count, do your bit, plant a tree, water a sapling do whatever you can, because if you don’t no one will and if no one does then we are homeless. Your shelter is there because, earth is still breathing. If she stops so do you. Don’t take this place for granted. To quote MJ, “Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we’ve shed before Did you ever stop to notice This crying Earth, these weeping shores What have we done to the world Look what we’ve done.” Ask yourself this, everytime and always. Realise one thing- we are and will always be (no matter how many rebirths we take) a vistor to this time and this place. Our purpose should be to grow, to learn, to love, to preach and one fine day to again go back to where we came from- our home. We don’t own this. She owns us. We just have to look after her and take care so that she survives and can carry forth the next generations to come so that a thousand more evolutions can take place and we become better and better. Don’t take things for granted. Take care of her because she’s doing so since you were born and never did expect anything from you in return, never did ask you for anything and always caught you when you fell. So, Celebrate every f#c#ing day as world earth day.
