A Greener Earth Is a Healthier Earth

Buckminster Fuller once said that, “The best way to predict the FUTURE is to DESIGN it.”

It can be simply understood the importance of green practices needed in our present world from this simple line. Our earth is now at the brink of destruction… thanks to us of course! Undoubtedly we have played a big part in creating a massive upset in the ecological niche of our great planet. It is true that scientists are ASSUMING that there may be earth like planets somewhere in these vast universe, it is also true that we are no aliens to teleport ourselves there faster than the speed of light! In short we don’t have technology to travel such far distances in quick time. Thus for us, we are hand bound and going to other planets to continue our existence… at least for now can be cut from our list of “To-Do Things.”

So finally we reach to the point of green practices that we should undertake to save this lovely planet… which is definitely not so lovely now! Green practices should start from home. It can simply be by planting a baby plant at our house. Also take the small step of saving electricity of your house. Sounds difficult? Nah… not at all; not as tough as climbing Mount Everest! You don’t need any energy to do this work… well you do need some… but nonetheless let’s get down to the topic, go to your house today and make sure to put off all the switches that are on and has no appliance working on it. Make sure to switch off the fans and lights when you leave the room, which I guess Moral Science even taught you! Even if your living room has big windows and the sun is shining brightly outside then please turn off the lights on this sunny day and open your windows! All of us do have a tendency to buy a lot of things for our homes especially for the enhancement and improvement of the beautiful place we are living at. That’s when if small amount of common sense is used we would buy things that would not harm the environment. A simple example is buying glass water containers rather than plastic water containers. Water conservation can also take place if you install filter systems to collect rainwater and use it for both the washing of cars and for plants.

With that being said the most sinister people of the world are the industrialists! No just joking… no offense people! Just that like foolish people of this earth which certainly includes me the industrialists can protect our earth also. Moreover, they can help to preserve a lot of our earthly sources! Reduce the use of the scarce minerals finding alternative sources. Reuse the object again so no more of the minute natural resources will be ending at a quick rate. Recycle the used things as this is a better way to make sure that we use less amount of the reserves left. In tourism industry the introduction of ecotourism can immensely improve the quality of the country. All rare species and plants will be protected and tourists will be able to witness the mystifying culture of the country visited without harming it. Making sure gases which are mostly harmful are cleared up before set off to the atmosphere above… simply because no one wants to breathe in HCL gas I repeat no one wants to breathe in HCL gas! Before disposing of wastes into the seas they should be treated carefully and made sure that there are so harmful contaminants that may kill or damage the aquatic organisms.

Remember sharing is caring? Well that’s what I would say. The earth does not belong to us, but we belong to the earth. This is one thing we all have in common. Common sense is common! So with little intelligence and awareness let’s make the Earth a healthier place to live…
