The
world in which we are living today is dominated by the technological
advancement and which is silently hampering the delicate balance between human
and its environment. Our planet harbours a very complex yet wondrous
interconnected system of ecosystem, each playing its parts in supporting life
and diversities of nature. But slowly and gradually we are missing out these
intricate connections that tie us to the natural world. It is essential to
rekindle our connection with environment and to explore the profound bond
between humans and the natural world. Our planet is now facing the major
challenge of climate change and it is going to affect the survival of human
race if not checked in time. Our health and life is closely linked with
planet’s health. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, or
the homes we live in, everything we do is connected to the environment.
So we
need to step back and find out the ways to preserve this unique biodiversity of
our planet. The world has enough resource to fulfil our need but not our greed.
We have to mend our ways to heal our planet. There are things we can do, like
using energy from the sun or wind, and being careful with how we grow food,
that can help slow down climate change. Living sustainably means finding ways
to take care of the Earth while also taking care of ourselves. We'll talk about
easy things we can do, like not making too much garbage and using less energy.
Each small thing we do can help make the Earth healthier. Sometimes, we need to
fix things that we've destroyed by our action. We have to plant more trees,
clean the plastic garbage, reduce the use of plastic, clean the river, pond,
other water source, regenerate water bodies, save energy, use sustainable
energy and learn to minimalise our need so that our future generation will live
well. But alone we cannot achieve this big dream, we have to work together to
make this changes happen. When we stand up for nature, we can make sure that
our leaders make good choices to help the Earth. We're connected to the Earth
in a special way, and it's our job to take care of it. We can learn, act, and
speak up to protect the natural world for the future. Let's work together to
keep our planet healthy for everyone and everything that calls it home.
