Today, June 5th is world environment day. But, who cares? even if someone cares about it, how does this day matter??
I'm not going speak about what causes environmental disasters, global warming and what are its consequences. If you don't know, catch a 6yr old in your neighbourhood and he will give you an 'essay' answer about this issue. I am more interested in making people think about this issue inspite of today's busy lifestyle of people across continents.
I think there is no use of 'preaching' people about the reasons to take care of environment or their results if not doing so. Its raises curiosity for some people, laughter for some and many many remain neutral.
Following are needed for progress in this regard:
- Political will
- Making Environmental and Agricultural engineering/science as a lucrative career
- Find ways to spread among teenagers that doing something for environment is really kewl
- Reduce dependency on fossil fuels by devising extensive public transportation as easy option for poor,middle-class and rich alike
- Nuclear energy as source for electricity
These steps, in my view would atleast lay the track for future where the environment can be safeguarded and our future generations can live in nature which has made man wonder for centuries.
