The thing called "Global Warming!"
Global warming aka climate change is the most widespread word today after globalization. Yes, this may just be another writeup on it from inspirations and real life experiences with an honest intent to make a difference even if its on a granular scale. :)
Conscious or unknowing the society we live in today is causing harm to the environment unabated, which is evident from the climate change and catastrophes we see around us and come to know through the media. Think about time early in the eighties, nineties when we were much more peaceful, valued things and were not drunk by material consumerism as we're today; and do a cross-check on the level of happiness, satisfaction and contentment which we're unfortunately lacking today.
The sustenance of life without material gains and wants maybe out of question, but we definitely can put a check on that by regulating it and differing to lose our identities in the material consumption.
As Eric Hoffer remarked: "You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy".
Think as to what extent as participants are we responsible for the destruction of our own biosphere? It's a treasure trove we've inherited where in lies great happiness and potential harmony.
As a matter of fact, the free service which nature does for us if imitated by man through science is roughly estimated at about 35 trillion dollars for a year; and interestingly the revenue of all countries put together sums up to 18 trillion dollars in a year..so aren't we found wanting to preserve the nature which does all that it does for no price?! Well that's what we got to ponder about!
The earth's not endlessly abundant, but we take it for granted. Frugality is the need of the hour and the moment!
When we see around, what we really see is that we've radically altered the Earth, Water, Air; which is exploited and polluted to huge proportions. What we as individuals and countries are doing, is nothing but hastening the condition of our own demise.
Now, comes the basic question everyone asks; what can i do about it? Valid, but if everyone of us instead thinks what can i not do that could help the cause then half the problem's solved. For example, the obvious things like using CFL lights, unnecessary wastage of electricity, over usage of gasoline, thinking before each act - is it going to harm the environment..that'll do as a great start; and amazingly you've taken the first step by thinking what can i do for the cause!
Next dwelve on the cause and follow your passion towards it, so that your mind and soul would show you the way!
We all know the proverb - "Tiny drops make the big ocean!"
As Dicaprio conveys its all hands on the deck time now..so lets make a difference no matter how puny it may look! :)
If we transform from the inside, it definitely would show up in the outside world.
Like inside, like outside...
