The Earth is our home and we are alive due to its abundant natural resources – they are not only essential but also our prime need. Life can survive without technological advancements but not without oxygen and water. Humans are one of the most intelligent beings yet are misusing their intellectualism by penetrating into space in search of a new home.
Pause, think for a moment. If an atom was not discovered, would life have been possible? Well, perhaps, the world would have been better than the present. Humans are trying to approach other planets after damaging their home planet through the induction of new technologies to explore space and find a new haven. The race to space is a growing conflict amongst countries.
Even after spending tons of money humans are still not able to shift on other planets. With the disastrous state of our natural environment, a natural calamity doesn’t seem to be a distant reality. Let us assume, we find life on Planet X, can we guarantee that we will respect Planet X? Is it possible to shift the world’s population to Planet X? If the answer is negative, then, what is the purpose to explore space? The number one reason for natural calamities is, depleting natural resources due to a mad rush of advancing technologies due to the selfish nature of all human beings!
The time has come to divert our mind from space to our earth. We must spend money to save its natural resources and educate humans on the importance of green earth for survival. We have taken natural resources like water and oxygen for granted. As we are well aware of the impending water crisis, I have a few basic ideas to implement in our lives:
- Educating young minds from an early age about the importance of our natural resources.
- Implementation of rainwater harvesting methods.
- Maximum use of solar power.
- Strict ban on deforestation.
- Strict policies to control pollution.
- Minimal usage of carbon compounds.
- Abiding by a natural and organic lifestyle.
- Advancement of organic farming.
- Discovering alternatives to plastic.
It is my earnest appeal to the government and to all the individuals to please work for earth and save our home for our children. Understand its importance and recover what we have already lost. Discover green beneath our feet, not far away in black holes.
