Long ago, till the time, human used to consume everything powered by Sun, the ecosystem was balanced with everything being replenished. Animals, including humans used to eat either crops or other animals and the only basic support system was Sun. The population was maintained and the life was constant. And then sometime, we humans search fossil fuels (anything that gives Energy & Carbon). Our choices expanded and the era of consumerism started. We had access to energy with relatively much faster rate. And it meant that we had access to achievements too. Now everything we wanted was available with some level of research. It generated consumer’s demand; we used more energy that required more fossil fuels. It disturbed our ecosystem, the changes were increase in population, extinction of rare species and Global Warming. This is consumerism based upon usage of non-renewable sources of energy that also cause harm to the environment.
Do you know what harm happens with cutting of trees – Soil erosion, floods (tree holds an enormous amount of water in itself) and rain control.
Do you know that secretion of hazardous industrial waste into sea has caused multiple sea species to extinct. Also many places, the water is not proper to swim.
Do you know that the continuous C-pouring into the environment is causing global warming which makes our glaciers to melt, typhoons to come and temperatures to increase.
Do we ever think that every single synthetic product we use cause towards global warming. This computer on which you are reading this is a product of industrial work. And next time, you feel of upgrading your computer, you are adding to the global warming. Consumerism is parallel to global warming.
As one environmentalist has explained; assume a year which started with evolution of earth, we are living last fifteen minutes of 31st December. And within some time, we shall become extinct. Another explains that we dnt have to save earth, ironically, earth shall exist in some form or other, it is we humanity we have to save from becoming extinct.
Is there a way out????
We lack a proper leadership on this. And the available leadership is poor by standards and spirits. Earlier in the matters of environment, democrats and republicans used to join hands and approve the bills, unlike now when the opinion is divided tragically.
We are certainly not able to do all that which nature does. For example, science can not turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. We can not reverse the harm we have already made to the environment. But we can certainly slower the process of environmental damage.
Scientific view says that we have to fulfill our needs by recycling the usage of power.
J R Train lines in Japan uses the power from brake lining and resends to the power lines.
Insulated houses shall reduce the usage of wastage of energy.
Generation of electricity using the waves of the river.
Dance club powered by energy output from human movement.
Bank of America building is employs the concepts of energy savings and uses lesser energy.
The movie is a must watch for a very clear understanding of the environmental issues and that is something which is required of us a common human.
