State of Environment

Environment is the home of all resources. It not only provides us with air to breath ,water to drink, food to eat and other resources which make our lives easier but also maintains a natural balance on earth. Recent years has witnessed great degradation in our environmental condition and this is certainly attributed to our unthought and mean actions. Industrialization, urbanization and modernization have lead to rampant deforestation, soil erosion, extinction of biological species, pollution and depletion of resources. New problems like ozone layer depletion, global warming, melting of polar ice caps, eutrophication of water bodies, drying up of rivers, erratic weather conditions
etc. have cropped up in recent years. If we go on with the present rate of destructing nature then nature too will turn furious which will be perceived by human minds as ‘catastrophe’. No deadly effect of mean anthropogenic action remains local rather it takes a global dimension. The need of the hour is to utilize our resources judiciously, resort to eco-friendly products and afforestation, minimize pollution, save water, recycle waste, develop and popularize alternatives for CFCs and above all STOP exploiting Mother Nature. To keep the earth ‘clean’ we need to think ‘green’.

the rate at which our environment is degrading is really alarming. the need of the hour is therefore to make people aware of it and take concrete steps to combat if not solve the present problems.

we all have drifted or tend to drift from our culture and this is the reason for the huge number of problems that we are facing today.the more we get away from our roots , the more comlex the life seems to us. it is incorporated in our culture to respect and care for mother nature but now we have forgotten this and so we are witnessing a degradation of the environment.immediate measures must be taken to reduce energy and resource consumption and minimize pollution.
