We borrow it from our children.....!!!

How many of us know when the 'Earth Day ' falls on ??... And how many of us really care what Earth Day is all about?For those who do not know it falls on April 22 and today is the day. And, what about the ones  who does know...like me..what have we done today...for Earth??....made a basketful of paper rockets??...axed many trees??? Littered our rivers and oceans with more plastic and more chemicals...??Left many light bulbs burning at home when we are still in office??...disposed our aged computer monitor. in the backyards???....burned many liters of 'FOSSIL FUEL’. and the list goes on...!!

We all pay attention towards educating our kids but what we fail to do is to raise environmentally conscious generation.When we cut a tree or set on fire a heap of garbage,we are not aware or may be do not bother, what harm will it make to the future generation.We do not mind walking on the beach and seeing so much pollution there instead while walling there we add up by throwing and adding some. And even when we are aware of the great dangers, we are not ready to change our inborn, inherited, transformed character of the 'beast ' inside.

We all are so busy in making up for our needs.We have bundles of worries to take care of.who has the time   to care for this poor heaven of us-The Earth. Many of you might say WHAT WILL YOU CARE....??? for while thousands are virtually homeless, thrown to the disposal of hunger deaths, hungry for job,blasts,price hike,political tensions-SAVING A THOUSAND TURTLE  OR BUILDING A PORT? But dear friend, if we don’t act cautiously now, there wont be any one left behind on the face of earth to trade at the ports we have built on.

Words like 'global warming', 'glacier melting',' expanding deserts' , lurk behind the bushels of grit in our mind, turning a blind eye towards the call of earth will prove more dangerous than the anticipated . When we dispel forecasts and warnings as scientific gimmick. or maverick aberrations’...something more dangerous is on its course as the human hegemony continue. we will be too late to reverse the consequences of man's brutal act. When nature starts taking its toll, we are too week to stop it from happening. Alarming signs are already shown, with rise in sea level and extended summers. And there will not be anyone to live in the drowning cities which are built with man's will and dishonor for nature.

We need to be more environmentally responsible. I know its inevitable to cut trees in a park in order to make way for a metro rail. but are we bridging the gap some where by planting more saplings and letting them grow and flourish as a tree? Is it so hard to make space for a tree to grow? Is it so hard to keep an eye on your geyser, iron and all those stuff before u lock u'r doors to office?

Being left to man's ruthless disposal, our earth will be soon another graveyard of civilization. Like other life forms which were made to disappear from earth, our foot prints won’t last so long on the parched fields made of our own guilt and greed. The next time when we throw a plastic bag outside carelessly, or cut a tree, or leave those light bulbs glowing , remember- “ We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”
