Our environment- Our duty

by Pooja Sharma
(jain Vishwa Bharti University, Ladnun)

It's our duty

Our mother Earth has been giving a lot since from our journey to civilization.

Our development can be owed to our priceless mother earth only. but, what we are doing is just opposite to it. Our anthropocentric attitude towards our environment has endangerded all living species including human beings. We are facing the criss of existence.

If our such attitude will continue to grow, this earth will not be in the state to be lived upon. It's our duty first to save our environment.

For that, we need to first ponder our life styles which is based upon consumerism resulting in over exploitation of resources again resulting in degradation of environment. We need to adopt such a code of conduct which will prove to be instrumental in pulling our mother earth from crisis of extinction.

Because we are bound to bestow upon our future generation the beautiful earth to play and foster as we have been given from our ancestors. so be aware and strong enough to play a role of steward of this earth.

Barry's Response - Thyank you Pooja. This makes a good start in developing a solid set of guiding principals for taking care of our home and our legacy.

Expressing my thoughts
by: KOTO

Aloha
I'm back!
Anonymous, The fault lies, in my opinion, with all of us, to many people not caring, and to many, doing nothing about it.
We need to "all" start in our own back yards, where we live, play, work, vacation, not waiting, for the other person, or thinking, someone else will remove it,(Trash) maybe before, a baby or wildlife ingest it, become ill or die, blowing, washing, into our storm drains, ocean, lake, river, stream, creeks, killing and contaminating, there are to many blind eyes and deaf ears, walking past garbage rather then reaching out and setting examples, making it safer for the voiceless, children, wildlife, all of our waterways, if we see discarded trash, left behind by mindless, uncaring people, that is when a caring person should remove and dispose of it properly, "KARMA" is alive and well for those, that leave dangers behind, and those that go the extra yard to remove it.
Suhana, There are more then two sides to everything including coins top, bottom, sides, to many people only see one or two ways to problems, be open for other ways to look at things.
Samerra, I would blame myself, if I was not doing anything about the pollution, except talking about it, proper steps would be to Waster-Size, bending at the waist to pick up the waste and getting rid of both, (belly and trash) one would be exercising and assisting Mother Nature, at the same time, making it a safer place for all, mostly the voiceless, children, wildlife and all waterways.
We are all in this neighborhood together, be the first, to leave only footprints, examples and smile behind.
Asshima, Action does speaks louder then words, people hear what we say, but see what we do and seeing is believing, one can start, by stenciling storm drains, in heavy foot traffic areas, like.
"GOES TO OCEAN" OR LAKE, RIVER, STREAM, DRINKING WATER, NO GARBAGE OR TOXIC CIGARETTE BUTTS, ALSO A PICTURE SO ALL UNDERSTAND.
If we do our part, no matter how big or small, others see, some will engage, talk to the local papers, TV, radio, remember the wheel that squeaks the most, get's oiled, noticed, looked at. NOW is the only time there is.
People like you all above and Pooja are what we need to jump-start a wake-up call to others.
I hope that I made some sense and gave some ideas, May the force be with you all and may
The Powers Above Bless each and everyone of you.

this is the first step.
by: Anonymous

I agree with all of dear but what i intention for is just to tell where the exact faults lie. Untill we know about where is the major root of problem how will we move on to solve the problem? so First we need to realize that our actions are such as harming the environment. then only we can work out some creative action to help save our environment.

action speaks louder than words

an activist is not the man who says the river is dirty . the activist is the men who cleans it.

We all have the potential of changing the world
by: Gerry aka KOTO

Aloha Pooja
Your way with words are beautiful, to bad they tell such a sad and true story, I feel if we expect to start sacing Mother Earth, we need first to save our water, many people do not know that water is 60% of our body, 70% of out brain and 80% of our blood, only 3% of Earths water is fresh water and most of that is ice, that means there is "only" 0.007% of all water on Earth is available to drink.
We here at The Pollution Solution Group have a few ideas on things we can start doing to save Mother Earth which is dieing as I type.
1. when people take a 10 minute shower they use 50 gallons of water, in the Navy or out at sea we were taught to get wet, turn off the water wash with soap, turn on the water and rinse off, you will save 90% of the water, when brushing your teeth snd you leave the water running you waste 4 gallons.
25 million refugees werw displaced by contaminated rivers last year, we will run out of water before we run out of oil.
It is "TIME TO GIVE WATER A SECOND THOUGHT"
"USE LESS, SAVE MORE"....Another thing we all can do is to start stenciling "STORM DRAINS" OUR LIFE'S BLOOD, All storm drains empty into our creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, to many people have no idea what a storm drain is foe and they continue to dump toxic waste into them or leave things on our roads, beaches, parks, that will wash into our Natural Waterways, like oil, paint, toxic cigarette butts, garbage, contaminating and killing many things.
"SAVE THE WATER AND WE WILL START TO SAVE THE EARTH" THE 6 R'S, RESPECT FOR SELF, RESPECT FOR OTHERS, RESPONSIBILTY FOR ALL YOUR ACTIONS, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.
