THE AILING PLANET

“WE SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SEARCHING FOR LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS KILLING THE LIFE ON THIS ONE”
The world as we know today is increasingly changing its pace. In the past
few months, the pandemic has changed our lives and we all are learning to live with it and evolve. The current global situation urges us to make a change and think about our future on this planet. We all know why this pandemic has come into existence and it is us, humans who are destroying our own habitat. We need to understand that we are not free holders of the planet instead we are the tenants here, we have borrowed this planet from our successors and we have not inherited it from our ancestors. I quote Mr. Stephen Hawking, “WE ARE IN DANGER OF DESTROYING OURSELVES BY OUR GREED
AND STUPIDITY. WE CANNOT REMAIN LOOKING INWARDS AT OURSELVES ON A SMALL AND INCREASINGLY POPULATED AND OVERCROWDED PLANET”.
Overpopulation as rightly stated by Mr. Stephen hawking is a problem that is increasing its pace, and we do not want our planet to succumb to this problem, do we? The human race needs to understand the importance of coexistence and that is what that will save our environment. Let us be a part of the solution not of the pollution. The problem is that humans are the only creatures on the earth that will cut down a tree, and turn it into paper, and then write “SAVE THE TREES” on it. I hope the youth of our planet understands the need of saving the planet because believes me our elders will die of old age and we will die of climate change.
LET’S JOIN HANDS TOGETHER AND BECOME BETTER HUMANS WHO ARE INTELLIGENT IN THE REAL SENSE!
