HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
Introduction
There was a time when people thought of the environment, its beauty and wonders. Now as the natural beauty of the earth disappears, many people around the world including me have awakened to the realities of just how danger our earth actually is. Now what shall we do to have a healthy environment?
My statements for the healthy environment are:
- Essential and strict environmental rules and regulations along with heavy taxation for those who cause environmental pollution will reduce the environmental crisis and will lead us to have a good and healthy environmental atmosphere.
- Technologies and Industrial developments followed by each individual (each one of us) who are responsible or so called agents of the environmental crisis must take conscious efforts not to pollute the mother earth no more.
The possible elements for healthy environment
Essential and strict rules and regulations are necessary for clean earth:
International Organizations and agencies including the United Nations, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization have also contributed environmental rules and regulations. But they all remain with only documents, not even the minimum have been implemented. It is not enough that we make rules but implementing and following them is important. Moreover rules and regulations must be possible one and easy to implement. Because when rules are made beyond practicality it may not be easy to implement and follow. Essential and strict rules which are useful for the problems at hand will be of great help in helping the earth to remain non-polluted. Thrust must be given on the natural resources. Importance and awareness about the alternatives should be given to the industries as well as each individual because pollution is not the problem of one man or one nation it is a problem of the universe.

High taxes must be imposed regarding environmental crisis:
To reduce the pollution high taxes must imposed on those who produce waste and pollution. To do this there must be equal and uncompromised rules, be it developed country or be it developing or be it under developed countries. Because personally I feel the one who is able to use, buy or get benefit from something should also able to pay the taxes for waste or pollution that he/she/it produces. I think when someone is forced to pay taxes for the waste that he produces there will be a conscious effort of this I think only by doing so we can control pollution as well as we can stop the unnecessary usages of the mother earth resources. Awareness about the environmental crisis will help the people who are not aware of these things also will produce a bit effect. Heavy taxation will really bring down the pollution; this is applicable to nations, industries, institutions, houses, offices or even public places. Because our main concern is not who we are? Where we are? But our main concern here is how our mother earth’s condition is and what can we do for that.
Agents of Environmental crisis
Technologies and industries are the great producers of pollution:
In polluting the earth technologies, industries and factories are the leading elements. In the name of modern technology and new inventions the resources of the earth main (air, water, and land) are polluted in larger scale. The ultimate motive of these ideas are only profit and competition and they least worry about the environment. Modern machines make the work of the people easy and make the life of the people miserable. Ultra modern vehicles look very pleasant to see and comfortable travel but produces lot of air pollution. New and different flavors of drinks are available but produce lot of water pollution when they are distilled. Huge and unbelievable buildings are coming up in the name of new avenues but destroy forests. Colourful and varieties of papers and plastic items are coming up but they are harmful to earth. These are the few examples for pollution by technologies and industries. Technologies of course have made life easy but the other part they have spoiled the resources and cause a great danger and threat to our mere life itself or to say our very existence itself. Technologies and modern developments made human lazy and inactive to certain extent. So they are the mass producers of pollution according to me.
Each individual is also responsible for the current environmental crisis:
On the one hand blaming the technologies and industries on the other hand each one of us are also responsible for environmental crisis. Each one of us are also responsible or agents in one way or the other because every things that we use or buy will have at least little waste. The important question is how do we dispose them? With our limited knowledge and understanding we may dispose them in the easiest ways possible without knowing the results or the pollution that waste will cause. We may or I may justify that no way but who are the users of the things that are produced it is a bitter truth that we are the ones. We may not be aware of the ways that we pollute the earth (air, land and water). When we lavishly use the water we pollute the water. When we bourn the polythin and plastic things we pollute the air. When we through the wastes wherever we want we pollute the land. These are the ways that I or we pollute the earth. In helping the mother earth we also can be more serious and conscious in our daily life for not polluting our mother earth.
Conclusion
Any unwanted or discarded material from residential, commercial, industrial, mining and agricultural activities that cause environmental problems may be termed as solid waste. As I have given some of the elements regarding environmental crisis it is not the problem of anyone but it is a global problem. Industries and factories are polluting in great scale and each one of us may be in smaller scale. Many pollutants, wastes and additives can be reduced. Recycling and the minimization of resource use can reduce waste. Discouragement of private vehicles will be of great help. Alternatives like tidal, wind, solar, hydro-power will reduce the pollution much. Planting rather than cutting the trees must be encouraged. Steps by Government and business committees are important and great cooperation of each one of us is greater. Religious leaders also can play a greater role in helping the people to control pollution. Each one of us can make a conscious effort to control the pollution and try for the good and healthy environment.
