The Urban wilderness- A Future to Redeem

The vast and rampant urbanization has led to the prophecy of a doomed future for upcoming
generations. Youngsters are getting more in-bound and indulged in gadgets and thus going away
far from nature which bring a negative impact in their growth
Nature, by definition, is the culmination of not only the pre-existing ecosystem, but also the changes
(overt and subtle, both) brought about by human interactions. Humans are an inseparable part of
Mother Nature. In the name of development and industrialization, humans are responsible for
releasing of harmful chemicals and gases in the environment like aerosols, carbon monoxide teal
which subsequently lead to various detrimental eects like smog, pollution and other un-called
anti-nature exigencies. Burning of fossil fuels is one of the biggest contributors to mass scale
pollution in the world
It is our duty and responsibility to safeguard our mother Nature and make our environment a healthy
place for our future generations. Humans, animals, plants, earth and environment are indirectly
connected to each other and are necessary for the existence of a healthy life. For this, we need to
follow some good, environment-friendly habits
As pollution grows, ways to combat it also have grown to a great level. Solar energy and wind energy
give people other ways to generate power in their homes. When people use these alternative forms
of energy, they put less carbon dioxide into the environment.

IN MY OPINION WE CAN DO SOME FOLLOW-UP:-
BRING CHANGES IN OUR LIFE TO SAVE AT LEAST SOME PARTS OF OUR ENVIRONMENT:
1. START EATING MORE VEGETABLE PRODUCE AND PRODUCTS.
The Environmental Working Group found that red meat is responsible for 10 to 40 times as
many greenhouse emissions as common vegetables and grains.
2. STOP EATING DAIRY.
This has some of the same bleak statistics as mentioned in point one, as well as the fact that it
takes a lot of feed to keep a dairy cow alive. 66% of all crop calories goes to cows, and cow farts
account for 28%of all methaneemissions related to human activity. Yes, I just wrote cow farts.
3. CHANGE YOUR CAR DRIVING HABITS.
We don't all have the luxury of walking everywhere, but vehicles are the biggest compromise to
the air we breathe. Those tailpipes are at the street level, where we can inhale the polluted air
directly.
4. NOTICE HOW YOU USE WATER.
We have a lot of water in Canada, but we also use a lot of water, and 65 per cent of what we use is
in the bathroom. Have shorter showers. Don't leave the tap running when it is not in use.
5. BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU THROW IN THE TRASH.
From kitchen scraps that can be used to make stocks to items that can be recycled, our trash
should be less full the more aware we get, the better.
We need to feel the words with our hearts:-
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change
anything”.

Transformation literally means going beyond your form. - Wayne Dyer 25 Volume-VII, 2019
