SAVE THE EARTH

"Save the Earth" is the slogan of the day.The whole world heard this call during the "Earth Summit-1992" held at Rio city in Argentina.Save the Earth from what? was the question asked by the people.Save the Earth from the dangers of destruction,Pollution,Deforestation,and killing of Wildlife.The future of Earth was dark,it seems.

Today the earth is not like as it was before hundred years ago.Advancements of Science and Technology in all walks of life have simultaneously disturbed the balance of the nature.For example,use of chemicals and fertilizers has polluted the land and water.But we are not being able to find a solution.All the livings things on earth are dependant on water.One can live without food for days but not without water.If the land and water are polluted with chemicals,it will cause many health problems for all men.

Secondly,the forests are destroyed and the trees are felled throughout the world by people.Forests are the source of rain.They are also essential for the prevention of soil erosion.Moreover the Deforestation leads to the loss of shelter for animals and also causes Global Warming.Thus the disturbance in the order of nature creates many interlinked problems.

Another serious problem is the pollution of air and atmosphere.The gases released from the factories pollute the atmosphere.Since the people inhale impure air,the fall sick and get all types of diseases.Apart from this the gases change the composition of the air in  the atmosphere.For example,holes have been made in the ozone layer covering the earth.These holes may permit infra light rays into the land.

What are the ways that we can do to save the earth from these risks?.We should preserve our forests.We should plant more trees and saplings in our society.The air and water should not be polluted.Avoid unnecessary travel by vehicles.The gases released from factories and industries should be filtered.The Industrial wastes should not be allowed to reach the sea.Man should not exploit natural resources,instead they should learn to use it economically.For example all the petroleum resources will be exhausted by 2050.So we must act before it is too late.If we do not act now,the world will not be a fit place for the future generation to live.These problems are because of us.The solution to all these problems is also in our hands.It is up to us to "Save The Earth".
