Go Green
these two words have been most written, talked about &
in most cases most abused these days.
Information channels like the Internet, television, Radio
or human channels like NGOs & government, each one of
them has something to say about this topic on a
regular basis.
But after so much of clamour around, it
feels “All show & no go”, when we see the ground reality.
Going Green means taking
steps to improve or at least preserve the state of our planet. The
much-hyped industrial revolution has done plenty of good in
terms of technological advancement of our generation and
those to come but has also caused irreparable and immense damage to the environment
in the process.
If you continue to be on the
same path and continue to use the resources rapidly and
haphazardly, the nature will ruin to the state of not being able
to restore it back to its healthy self.
Thus, we as elements of the
civilization and children’s of mother earth should mend our ways
and do anything, whether it is small or big to
help earth “go green again”.
There can be countless ways by which
we can contribute, like:
●
Use the principal of 3R’s Recycle, reuse
& reduce in your daily life by using recyclable
or biodegradable products, & by mitigation the amount
of waste we produce.
●
Not taking your car when not
necessary or carpooling.
●Using less electricity or use some renewable
source of energy like, solar & much more.
Acts like these seems to have
negligible effect individually but when we club it together we
billions of people around the globe it forms an
immense sea of change both on the global
footprint as well as the quality of standard of
living.
But if this is the case, why are
people still not convinced and are living the same way they use
to live 300 years ago, because people come to
think of it on two fronts scientific & economic &
both of them take time to show
results & today’s generation is impatient.
Scientifically, people think, “ ok my daily activities are
causing Global warming, Air pollution, Ecological imbalance, Rise in
the water level etc.”
Feels remorse
and resolve to be better but
within hour’s turns back to their usual
way saying, “ life is still going on why should I worry”.
Economically, people think “ yeah! It might save me some
money down the line in 5 years time,
if I use solar energy to light my house but
why should I pay the hefty starting amount, I am ok
with this conventional source of energy.
Which goes on to show that there is still not
much information and knowledge centers to
convince people to Go Green.
It will require even bigger
media attention, community awareness camp modeled as the UIDAI
camps and most of all much developed ecological
conscience of modern world. Ecological conscience should be deep
rooted in young as well as grownup minds, constantly
warning us of how grave is the threat we face.
We should realize that we couldn’t
improve the earth unless we change our habits & mindsets
and thus require overhauling the mindset of the
society as whole. Renewable energy sources like sun,
water and wind all have great potential to fulfill current
and future energy demand by causing zero damage compared to
the prevalent fossil fuels and
by using them we could be doing great service to the
earth and our future generations.
