Although Change is inevitable and it’s the only constant in this ever-evolving cosmos; ‘positive change’ needs to be brought, if not forced, it seems. Because changing the perspective about a convenient ideology, conditioned behavior and comfortable lifestyle is not only difficult but causes disturbance which can be compared to the irking turbulence on the plane in the cloudy weather, you know!
As this is the exclusively Human perspective of the situation, the resolution for the reform also has to be completely human and based on intellect and understanding of humans, isn’t it? For any challenge, problem or situation, in general and for Environmental, Social and Political, in particular, the chronology of solution has to be Awareness – Sensitization – Deliberation – Call-for-action and ACTION!
As far as Environmental challenges are concerned, it should suffice to say that we (the people) are existent because of the environment and it is not the other way round. More importantly, it is us, the human beings who have caused those challenges and therefore it is not just our duty but Responsibility – individual, collective or Corporate Social – to correct the wrongs that are causing all the harm to the environment.
As we grow up to become ‘educated’, ‘independent’ and ‘established’, we get so engrossed in the worldly objectives like career, property, possessions, provisions that we tend to forget our parents who are the very reason of our existence and take them for granted assuming that they would be always there if and when we need them. It takes some emergency to remind us of their well-being which otherwise is always presumed. Any negligence or procrastination in taking care of elder’s needs could prove fatal and in the unfortunate case of loss of life, all we are left with is repentance and nothing else!
Same is the case with the Environment – it has produced us and we are not the masters of it. If we don’t stop acting careless about it straightway, it would be too late even to repent about it. Each and every human is supposed to act about it with immediate effect and the very convenient defense, ‘who am I to do something about it and what can I do… alone?’ has following comeback…
Just like a post about 10 things that require zero talent (?) being viral nowadays, there are FOUR things that ANY individual can do ANYWHERE on this PLANET in any condition at ZERO cost…
- Reduce – limit the consumption of anything to the adequate measures and avoid excess use of any resource.
- Repair – Get rid of the ‘Use and throw’ mentality and try to mend the broken things including ideologies, value-systems and relations, may be!
- Reuse – Almost anything can be reused and if it cannot, it must be destroyed in a proper way to avoid the landfill – the biggest danger to environment.
- Recycle – Almost everything can be used to create something new just like the Buddha Story – read it here if you would like to.
Also, on this World Environment Day, follow the 50 Year Old theme “Only One Earth” and to set the context, please find all my previous posts about this topic on following links –
