The
recent prediction as presented by a Times Of India report says that 2016 will
be the hottest year among 2014 2015 and 2016. I am little perplexed. Am I the
only one who is feeling this ever existent – more than required warmth in the
urban areas? Or am I the only one who has read so many things about man made
global warming and can relate to it? Why are the well educated and well aware
people not speaking a word about conservation of Environment. Is this one issue
which everyone is missing out?? Why people of India are afraid of
sensationalizing this extremely important issue which the whole World is
talking about?
Let
me try to make my point with a question.. Do you think killing, robbing,
exploiting is crime? If yes then don’t you think we are being too unfair to
nature? I can see injustice happening with the Environment during the festivals
we celebrate. Celebrations have now become more of a pompous show in an unhealthy
competitive way rather than having quality time with friends and family.
Here
I want to list 10 important points which I guess everyone should know before
they decide to buy their crackers stock this year for Diwali.
1.
Problem of green house gases is off course there
but increase in tropospheric aerosol concentration may aggravate the condition
of the people having lung diseases. Also inhaling these suspended particles may
cause severe breathing problems.
2.
Pollutants in the air have different life times.
They do not settle down easily. Pollutants have mobility and in very trace
amount also they show their heinous impact.
3.
Various atmospheric statistics show how the
aerosols (suspended particles) shoot in concentration during festivities.
4.
Two years back Divya Bhaskar group did a story
in which they said that people of Surat contribute to much more to the air
pollution during 5 days of Diwali festival than the pollution generated by all
the industries of Hazira Belt in a year.
5.
Man-made Global warming is REAL. Scientists
around the globe are not bluffing. And Global warming cannot be reversed.. We
can avoid the exponential degradation of the Atmosphere but the process cannot
be shunned.
6.
Be prepared to be on this planet with new set of
seasons and mixology of temperatures. OXYGEN BARS in place of Coffee Bars or
Beer Bars will very soon be materialized. You pay for water now. 15 Rs a litre
Right? That time is not far when you’ll pay for breathing some oxygen rich air.
If we are unable to take steps immediately, very soon Government will have to
make amends in our constitution and add ‘Right to Clean Environment’ as one of
our fundamental Rights.
7.
Delhi has been considered as most polluted in
terms of Air pollution. Doctors suggest lungs patients to leave Delhi. And
speculations are there that by 2020 ,, 40000 people of Delhi would die due to
lung disease. Perhaps this is my message to citizens dwelling in other parts of
the country : “Delhi Zyada dur nahi hai”.
8.
The crackers manufacturing factories in our
country employ poor and helpless little kids to carry out the manufacturing.
Buying such crackers would be our indirect encouragement to child labour
9.
People these days are buying crackers imported
from China which is not a healthy sign. Why do we need to import such
meaningless means of entertainment that too from another country.
1.
Air was not enough that we also pollute land
resources by littering. Yeah how can I forget sound pollution.. Its cherry on
the cake.
We are the only nation on this planet who harms the
environment in some or the other way in name of religious celebrations. We are
already overpopulated means extra carbon foot prints everywhere. Moreover we
are in such a state of oblivion that no body gives damn to what atrocities our
Environment is facing. Wake Up people. If not now, then When????? I guess you all know we have not yet
succeeded in discovering alternative of Earth.
