Preservation and protection of the beauty of the earth is the primary duty of man!
World Environment Day is celebrated all over the world on April 22. It is the first duty of everyone to create environmental awareness about the earth, the modern world, the country, state, district, village and village, which is decorated with beauty by protecting nature. The use of natural resources should be limited. If we look at the horror today, people have to wander from one direction to another in the months of April and May for drinking water. It has been 78 years since our country became independent. It is a tragedy that we still do not get clean drinking water. And how many years will this infancy continue? Food, clothing, shelter, many basic issues are of a terrible nature in our country. The common man is equally responsible for this along with the rulers. In the past, rain used to fall on June 7th on time. Today, that situation is no longer there. Terrible industrialization, destruction of immense forest resources. The rivers have been left in a dead state by destroying the life in the rivers. There has been immense sand mining, the life in the rivers has been destroyed. All these things have been destroyed by human beings out of greed. Today, the average temperature in our country is going up to 50 to 51 degrees Celsius in the month of May. The people there are having to suffer the consequences. And we do not want to give anything. I and my house have been created. Social vision has become poor. Everyone thinks that only environmentalists should do this work. But the human power of environmentalists is falling short of these things. From time to time, we have to face financial problems. The entire beauty of the earth is being destroyed by building terrible forest roads in the forests in the country, and those who build forest roads are considering themselves blessed. Wildlife is becoming extinct. Today, the entire society has become like a monkey. A monkey always decides to build a house in life. But in summer and winter, he spends his time having fun. When the rainy season comes and the monkey gets cold, he feels the dire need to build a house. This is the same situation that human beings have become like monkeys. Due to many effects on the earth, severe drought, disease, epidemics, and natural disasters have become terrible. When crises occur, temporary solutions are taken and then forgotten. The earth creates air, water, food, and other resources, which should be preserved.
The outer shell of the water reservoir on the mountain top is the outer shell. In summer, the outer shell of the mountain heats up. However, since the heat cannot reach the ground surface, the water does not evaporate. We have Varul, a great example of nature. Varul creates natural biodiversity many times over. Therefore, ants are nature’s protectors and protect the environment. Nature creates trees according to the environment. Only those plants and trees whose climate is suitable for that seed grow well and do their work, giving flowers, fruits and medicinal properties. Due to the excessive planting of foreign trees in our country, the food and water supply is destroyed. And these same trees are produced at the government level. Today, our indigenous trees like Vada, Peepal, Neem, Mango, Jackfruit, Arjun, Umber Sesame, Bell, Jambhol are growing by protecting nature. Our trees are being planted in other countries. Many people are getting benefits from medicinal plants. In Arab countries, indigenous trees are planted in large numbers in our country. After experiments, these trees are environmentally friendly. These indigenous trees should be planted forcibly through our national tree planting options. Foreign hybrid trees should be abandoned. The water in the entire soil destroys food and nutrients. They grow inordinately. Such trees are a national disaster. The government tree planting program should be done very effectively. Otherwise, a magnificent tree planting program is done using a single pit for 32 years. If we want to create sustainable nature, tree planting campaigns and programs should be planned based on the imagination of our country’s scientists, environmentalists, researchers, tree breeders, and tree lovers. Today, when we see the news and videos of corruption in the forest department, our mind goes numb. The forest guard is becoming a forest eater. At the local level, valuable trees are being cut down in collusion with contractors and timber mill owners. This is a great tragedy. What is urgently needed today is to preserve the forest resources.
A banyan tree and a peepal tree work to deliver one crore liters of water to the soil throughout the year. A simple bitter lemon tree releases ten thousand liters of water to the soil during a monsoon. These indigenous trees create a pipeline without any cost. According to research, all indigenous trees do the valuable work of releasing water to the soil. And they continuously work to provide pure oxygen. Today, humans and animals are being cunning and destroying forests and mountains for their own selfish interests. There is no control over the rampant deforestation, excess water use and extraction. And the environment has created a demon of ashes. The water scarcity is man-made. If banyan and peepal are successfully planted in five to ten years, the water problem of that village will be solved permanently. It will not work to blame God and the rulers. And humans are just as guilty of breaking the law. The environment is the various types of plants, animals and microorganisms on earthh. It sustains life on earth through a complex cycle. In nature, creation cannot survive without adopting the five elements of earth, air, water, fire and sky. Preserving and protecting the environment is the primary duty of every human being and we should preserve the wealth of nature. And we should remain committed. We should take strict measures on this. Plastic should be used in small quantities. And we should create resources to destroy it and destroy it. Precious water will have to be used as per the requirement. Plant trees and nurture them. Just announcing and waving banners will not work. Everyone should plant trees in every coming monsoon. Save energy and conserve it. Reduce pollution to keep the air quality even. Manage waste properly and dispose of it. The subject of environment should be included in primary education and implemented forcefully. The earth has given humans immense natural resources. It has given water, clean air, sunlight and nature. It is the duty of every citizen to preserve, protect and nurture it. Otherwise, nature is showing its wrath and showing its ferocious form. Floods, terrible storms, earthquakes, melting of ice on the earth, creating an extremely hot environment on the earth. These are man-made disasters like pythons. Therefore, we should save today’s beautiful earth, only then will all living beings be able to survive and live. And let us protect the environment on this earth.
