Save Earth, or Save Humans? "If you really think that the environment is less important than the economy, try holding your breath while you count your money." - Guy McPherson For a long time the reactions of Earth to our human actions remained unnoticed, but in recent times, we are forced to view the consequences of our human action. The age is often defined in terms as anthropocene, the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. One must look at the manifestations of climate change in various ways including: Extreme Weather Events: Hurricanes, floods, wildfires, landslides,flash floods and heatwaves have become more frequent and severe. We have witnessed Kerala Floods (2018): Unprecedented rainfall caused flash floods in Kerala. This resulted in extensive damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and loss of lives.  Rising Sea Levels: Coastal communities face threats from erosion and ...

Conservation with out Care 9August. World Tribal day. International Day of the World's Indigenous People's  Every time, I attend a workshop or a seminar on any environment-related issue like the conservation of wildlife, forests, climate change, etc. It is always fascinating to ponder over some of the very intriguing questions like, how nature works, how much time it takes to form a drop of water, how much forest are we left with, is sustainable life really possible, what should come first development or environment and if development is coming at the cost of environment, then can we really call it development, what is the actual meaning of development?  Let’s Park these normative questions aside for a moment. Because my purpose here is not to respond to these important normative questions. Rather, through these questions, I want to bring to your focus the importance of bios and the efforts that many environmentalists have put into making us realise the importance of bios and ...

Universe, Milkyway, galaxy 10 june 2021 To, Homo sapiens Asia, Africa, America, Europe, Australia SUBJECT : In regards to the injustice done by you. Dear children, It took me 3.77 billion years to evolve you from first form of life to modern homo sapiens. It took 6 million years in your evolution only.What do you gave me in turn? Nothing! but despite of nothing in return, you eventually have destroyed me within decades. I have seen you from the time when you were mere a prokaryotic cell and now when you are the most intelligent species among all my children,  your mischief is now INTOLERABLE to me! you didn't give me anything in return but you have done wrong to me, your environment and to your neighbours.

Dear future generation, What i am going to say now is dedicated from the whole present generation to you. I want to say "sorry", sorry that we left you on such a messed up planet or i say sorry for providing this messed up situation to you. sorry, for listening to people who made excuses to do nothing,for just thinking about ourselves upto a large extent. Let me explain you with a instance, you probably know about the Amazon desert, believe it or not it was once called amazon rainforest containing billions of trees and was the biggest vegetation in the world,..... oh you don't know much about trees, Trees are really amazing, I mean we literally breathed the air due to them, they absorbed our pollution and carbon, provided food to feed us, hold the land, purified water and much more, what we did?, burn them down, cut them down with brutal machines with the rate of 40 football field per minute, for just this. It makes me really sad that   the native Americans cared so much ...

#world Environment Day /Environment Day 2021#june5#saveEarth#Biodiversity #saveResources How many times  you  have been advised to feel gratitude for all the resources you posses and for all things ,but there is one ultimate source of all possessions and resources available to homo sapiens ENVIRONMENT. so I am thankful to ENVIRONMENT for all . But question arises here is that why should we thank the resource which would not lead us to MARS or would not bring any revolution to INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY and INTERNET, but it's scope is beyond our existence and beyond our extinction. WHY SHOULD ENVIRONMENT MATTER? To answer this I would ask think of anything that is not result of environment ? Oh you might be thinking about the computers yes ,they are not direct outcome of environment but all the computers in world are invented by humans and humans are ultimate invention of ENVIRONMENT. so as far as I can think there is no such entity made with out effort of ENVIRONMENT. But you can ...
