Henry David Thoreau the famous American poet and philosopher once said, “Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” This statement brings to light how fortunate we are, to be living on a planet that provides everything for us. Save Earth campaigns refer to the attempts made by people to conserve the flora and fauna; to preserve the state of the water bodies, the atmosphere - all of which are essential for the growth and development of beings that inhabit Earth.
Each living being on Earth knows the importance of Earth in our lives. Without Earth, we cannot even imagine living. Have you ever thought how we would walk if there is no Earth, there will be no water to drink, there will not be animals living here, and of course, no cultivation, so no food to eat. This means to say that the life of humans, as well as other living beings, cannot be imagined without Earth.
Saving earth is not merely the need of the hour but much more. The extent of degradation caused by humans is becoming irreparable. This is one of the reasons why all the resources are getting highly polluted. The change in climate is also one of the examples that are caused due to severe pollution. Moreover, animals, birds are getting extinct and the worlds around us are slowly approaching the end. Nothing could be scarier than this. Therefore, saving the earth is the primary need and we should make conscious decisions to make the earth a better and sustainable place to live in.
The duty to save Earth begins from the individual level. In our everyday exercises, though we could furnish, we should hold ourselves from practicing energy extremely. Simple judgments to decrease the use of water, electricity, transport, etc., could intend a lot in this regulation. By being an example to others in our actions, we can cause the needed social change. Governments over nations and stakeholders are building the knowledge to save Earth. Forestation, rainwater harvesting, recycling of waste materials, cutting manufacturing pollution, etc., are some attempts of the many Governments. International Earth Day and Earth Hour each year cause consciousness to the issue.
As the standard of life is increasing exponentially, in this 21st century, it is becoming more and more difficult to safeguard the planet that was given to us. Our wants are mounting up to such an extent, that Mother Earth is being wrung dry to satisfy us. While every individual can adopt basic measures, to contribute towards saving Earth, severe damage is being inflicted because of deforestation and pollution. Progressive countries are competing to have an upper hand in different fields such as technology, tourism, education etc. But the important question is, what progress are we really making, if we are adding to the destruction of Earth? Governments are becoming alert, and taking steps to reduce the ozone depletion. People are actively involved in planting more trees, protesting against construction of unnecessary facilities, reducing emissions from vehicles and efficient disposal of waste. On the other hand, global warming isn't diminishing and is leading to fluctuating weather.
Life is possible on the planet Earth and its related resources. Can you imagine a life on the Earth if resources are not available here. And, the answer comes not at all. The resources like air, sunlight, water, creatures, minerals, and vegetation are integral parts of the Earth. But with the increasing level of pollution, these resources are getting affected and either humans are destroying or depleting recklessly. If we have not taken a calculative step to save the Earth, it is going to be difficult to establish a sustainable future on the earth.
In order to save the earth, we must understand that resources that are provided by earth are limited. However, the majority of us are unaware of this fact and we are not judiciously utilizing the resources. In order to safeguard the existence of humans, we need to protect the earth and take care of it. All living beings are dependent on the earth for their survival and so we should use the gist of nature in a thoughtful way. The increase in pollution and damage caused by humans are affecting the earth so rapidly that it is threatening our survival.
It is and has been our responsibility to protect the planet that we live in but rather we become selfish and do such things that create more pollution in our environment. As the most evolved species of the environment, we should understand that our planet is the only planet that supports life. So when the earth will be in peril, we will not have the option to move to another planet for our safety.
Little actions taken by one soul can leave a vast impact on the well-being of our planet. Try to use stairs instead of lifts. Walk for small distances instead of using vehicles. Use shared cabs to go to the office. Plant one tree each year.We all should also cooperate in the missionary works and make efforts to keep our neighborhood and planet neat and green. Recycle the kitchen garbage. Recognize to prepare for a regular servicing of your vehicles. Control the use of plastic materials. Carry a shopping bag while going for grocery shopping. Preserve water and encourage others to do so as well.
The journey to save our earth is yet at its early steps but through the plans that have been set in place, it is possible to revive Earth and preserve it. In the journey to save the earth, besides destruction should be limited so that the applications made have an influence. The earth essentially has everything that supports our existence and that is why it is necessary to save it from destruction.
Protecting our planet mainly depends on the healthy habit and devotion of all of us making our part and offering our best to protecting the earth. The growth and application of technologies that are environmentally pleasant so that we would not wreck the earth. We should strive to include the decrease in the practice of things that are dangerous to the environment, exercise the re-usage and also the reuse of goods and stuff so that a lesser quantity of garbage can be produced.
Hence, it is important to make the most use of what we have right now in a sustainable manner. Our approach will not only save the earth but our lives as well. Moreover, our future generation will be bestowed with a healthy environment to live in. We must consider the benefits of living a simpler life, so that our future generations have a planet to live on. Simple does not necessarily equate to low quality of living. We can still learn to be content with minimal luxuries. Also, progress should be made using safer procedures. Otherwise, we may head towards a fancier lifestyle and be left with a crumbling planet.
