As sweat slither down my temple I wonder how a place which had never heard of summer is so hot that fans and air conditioners have become a necessity in every house. I travelled the length of our country and found people complaining everywhere about the changing climate. Colder winters and hotter summers is what everyone is complaining about. The seasons are getting mixed up. Untimely rainfalls are affecting the agriculture sector. Almost every year we have drought like situation in one corner of the country and devastating floods in the other.
Though it seems like a very complex problem ironically it’s not. If we attempt to understand this problem one would realise that we are sole reasons for it. Out carelessness in handling the nature and our attitude towards damage control are the root causes for this problem getting out of our hands.
It’s time we stood up and took notice of this problem that threatens the existence of mankind and would severely affect the future generations. We don’t need stricter laws because we are not animals. We have shaped this world with our own hands. We need awareness as this is problem is pervasive and threatens everyone. We need to follow emission guidelines strictly and religiously. Also corporate houses should take the lead in this campaign and set right examples for the masses to follow.
Plant a tree wherever you go and wherever you can!
