эссе на британском на тему Earth and our place on it

Earth is a beautiful living planet of the Universe as the common habitat of more than 7 billion human population amp; millions of species of biodiversity. Our Earth provides us with food, shelter amp; with most of our requirements.

Despite unavoidable free services provided by earth to humans, we are not being able to pay off her kindness to us. Rather we humans are being cruel to our Earth by our selfish activities. Mahatma Gandhi said, Earth provides enough to satisfy every mans needs, but not every mans greed.

Every day we produce tons of degradable amp; non-degradable wastes amp; throw them anywhere recklessly. Smoke amp; harmful gases from our homes, vehicles or industries are suffocating her. We are disposing of dirty sewage, drainage and even chemicals recklessly, although we know that more than 7 billion humans along with all plants and animals in this world rely on water for their lives. If we arent concentrated on saving those water resources then in near future water may be as expensive as PETROL or one-day people may die due to thirst. Despite huge noise by our jumbo population itself, we use loudspeakers for our entertainment amp; industries, airplanes or other noisy vehicles for our luxury. We destroy forests for agriculture amp; settlement. We build huge buildings, roads amp; factories beyond her carrying capacity. The establishment of nuclear reactors vastly affects the environment amp; human lives.

Harmful gases emitted by ACs, refrigerators, industries amp; vehicles are depleting ozone layer amp; increasing our exposure to very harmful UV rays of sun leading us towards various skin diseases, eye cataract amp; even cancer. Wastes like plastics amp; other non-degradable wastes like insecticides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers etc. highly degrade soil quality amp; decrease agricultural products amp; kills soil microorganisms amp; decomposers. Water pollution increases the risk of water-borne diseases like cholera, dysentery etc. and lead amp; arsenic highly degrade our mental ability amp; causes the extinction of many aquatic animals. Air pollution causes airborne diseases like asthma in humans amp; animals and disturbs whole metabolism process in plants. Noise pollution causes insomnia amp; heart diseases in humans. Deforestation is leading to natural calamities like floods, soil erosion etc, temperature increase and changed rainfall distribution, drought, loss of valuable biodiversity, decreased oxygen density etc. The burning issues in the world at present are Climate Change amp; Greenhouse Effect.

Solutions to environmental problems are not impossible for superior creatures like humans, if they are committed. As a youth amp; global citizen, I too have the responsibilities to my mother earth. My first role in nature is to reduce my own carbon footprint via eco-friendly activities. Then, I can form a GREEN ORGANIZATION along with some other energetic youths to raise awareness in my peer circle, neighbourhood amp; the community about environment sanitation by changing degradable wastes into compost manure amp; by 3R principle (reduce, reuse amp; recycle) of non-degradable wastes. I can create workshops with local people that air pollution can be controlled by replacing household energy sources like coal, firewood etc. by biogas, electricity or solar energy amp; we can negotiate with factory owners amp; vehicle owners to use dust amp; smoke purification systems in industries amp; vehicles amp; we can encourage them to use solar-energy based industries amp; vehicles.

We can organize environment sanitation programs amp; afforestation programs in barren lands. We youths can appeal the government to bring eco-friendly development policies amp; proper planning of cities. We can organize orientation programs about climate change, its causes, and effects amp; mitigation measures in schools amp; colleges to induce other youths towards conservation of nature. Youths can initiate the concept of Payment of Ecosystem services (PES) in society amp; emphasize homestay tourism in the villages. As a student of the forestry sector, I have the responsibility to aware local people about the importance of forests amp; effects of deforestation along with the new concept of carbon trade via REDD++ programs.

Thus, for the sustainability of our planet, I promise to fulfil my responsibilities towards Mother Nature as a global citizen so as to protect my living planet from deterioration amp; to handover clean amp; green planet to our future generations. Maybe our single efforts may seem small but if thousands of youths can unite together towards nature conservation then one day our efforts will be a drastic step to protect our motherland Earth from destruction
