ഭൂമി പച്ചപുതയ്ക്കട്ടെ

June 5th of 2011 the world environment day has been given unprecedented significance by media and the Government Institutions. Rightly so the people have now recognised the importance of conservation of nature for he has now experiencing the bad effects of non compliance of rules of nature and using the nature for his selfishness.
The selfishness of man and exploitation of natural resources has now become in alarming proportions and the all the efforts of environment activists and Government machineries’ don’t work against the anti social elements. The question we should ask our self is how precariously we were in and for the last one century how badly we exploited the natural resources. What have we kept reserved for the future generation. The heat in the summer go on raising every year. The quantity of rain comes down every year. The trees in the forest is cut,even in forest areas the forest area is now fast diminishing. The cultivating fields are now rare scene and the paddy fields are now filled with sand.The sand mining has now become equalent to terrorist activity which is beyond the control of the Government machinery and activists. They are under the control of the so called sand mafia. We have no time to plant a single trees even the coconut trees which is a sacred plant is cut mercilessly for the construction of the houses .Of course we need trees for the purpose of fire wood or for the purpose of wood .But there is an ancient saying that we had to plant at least a tree when we cut. Media is giving wide publicity, activists respond vigorously although they are a minority, all the people are well aware of the consequences .But nobody is willing to take the initiative. Large scale of campaigning is going on against plastic. But people give little care and they are not ready to respond. There is no vision ahead and we are not thinking about our future generation. This generation might overcome the difficult period but it is sure that the future generation will not have any easy option to live harmoniously in this world. The ground water level is coming down and every where there is scarcity of drinking water. This can easily be overcome within a period of two years. Water conservation pits, bio fencing ,roof water conservation. Rain Water Conservation Tanks.Govermnet has now introducing various schemes for this.But all this doesn’t bring desirable results. Just because of the lack of commitment. There are strict rules for this and crime will attract serious consequences. But no desirable result again because the nature exploiters are so strong and they are able to set aside all possible obstacles on their effort.
We have rich tradition for the conservation of Nature. This aspect was linked with religion.Naga Aradhana, and the worship of trees are some examples for this.”Moolatho Brahma Roopaya Madhyatho Vishnu Roopini Agratho Shiva Roopaya Vriksha Rajayathe Mamaha” this is how we address banyan tree.The Kavu is a place were we find bio diversity.Even now the Adivasi people stick to the basics and they do not divert themselves from the nature.But it is the sophisticated advanced so called cultured people do all the harmful thinks to nature.
On this day of environment day I think we should have a simple beginning. Lets have eco friendly house a small garden, lets plant some vegetables at least for our own use. There should be compost pit for the degradation of bio waste generated in our house. Let’ s avoid plastics completely. Let’s have a practice to use cotton bag with us always. Let’s have a pledge not to bring a single plastic item to our house. Lets have a roof water harvesting system in our house. Lets make some water conservation pits in our plots. Lets try not to waste a single drop of water by going outside the plot. Let’s plant at least one tree in our plot. If we do not have sufficient land let’s plant a single plant in a public place and raise it. Let the children be trained in this way. They may be advised accordingly for being eco friendly. Lets respond positively against any activity which is not eco friendly. Lets join the efforts of Government institutions and social activists.
Let’s hope that some positive drive will soon be seen in people and man will return to his past glory and join hands with nature before the nature will order its final judgement on mankind.
Please remember that we have the opportunity to submit an appeal before the Supreme Court but the nature will not entertain any appeal . Better Late than Never.We know every thing we watch every thing but we pretend to be asleep.Come on get up.If you sleep more you are embracing death.
