Life is a precious gift of God that gives beauty to its creation. The creator has not only created us, but everything on this land with its own specifications, beauty and charm. The world has been made more glittery and fascinating by the tiny lanterns lit. Every creation, is indeed the jewel of nature. Nothing is this world has been made without a cause, God has kept reasons in everything.
The scientists are finding the possibilities of life on other planets, but have made no efforts for the mother of all planets and the life on earth has become miserable. The rapid increase in the earth’s temperature, the serious issue of global warming, climatic changes, ozone depletion, environmental changes, are all the results of deforestation and lack of plantation. Millions of trees are cut down every year to meet our domestic needs, for constructing sky scrapers, development projects, railway lines, motorways, roads, houses and etc. Without thinking about the after effects, harm is being caused by our own hands.
We have not only extolled the earth’s beauty, but we’ve created a new well of serious problems for the upcoming generations. Instead of creating alternatives, the pollution banners (trees) are being cut down in a major number. Resultantly, when there is no way of absorption of pollution (specifically CO2), the pollutions sticks onto the wall of the sky and when it rains, the rain water drips down all the pollutants to the land which mixes into oceans and rivers and turn them polluted which makes the water poisonous for drinking and works as a direct poison for the marine life.
According to the facts and figures, if we cut down trees with the same ratio, then the earth will run out of 75% of oxygen in next 85-90 years. Which means, that we’re not only disturbing the life of today, but also cutting the life of earth short! It is feared that the planet earth would suffer from shortage of food, inadequate supply of water and the wildlife will soon be ended as well. It will also give birth to untreatable diseases. We are not only staking our lives, but making world a grave for our generations.
God has sent us as the guardians of nature instead of becoming pacified villains. Therefore, we should fulfill our responsibilities the way they are meant to be. We have to play our role as a responsible inhabitant of Earth. Planting trees in houses and schools, parks, keeping indoor plants, spreading public awareness, organizing campaigns, launching awareness programs can be the ways to motivate people in filling their social duties.
