World Environment Day (WED)

I was going through my previous posts and I saw that I have covered many occasions and religious festivals where we were celebrating them with our family and friends or in public.

Today also some particular day. Every newspaper, news channel and even many emails has been broadcasted to people telling significance of this day.

While writing this post, I am very much confusing that weather it’s a day of celebration or its day of sorrow. Of Course it’s not a death day or birth day of any big saint or Mahatma or freedom fighter.

Today it’s 5th June “World Environment Day”. The theme for WED 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You-Unite to Combat Climate Change'.

Everybody has heard about the climate change on some or other way. But we all are confused that what we can do. Actually, everyone knows that what they should do for saving energy, saving water, to save trees, to save wild life and many more things. – But everyone is waiting for others to initiate.

There are many preachers around the world. Let’s not target to preach the reader in this post but at least you should know how we are harming our planet one or other way in our daily life.

Below are some of my observation that I would like to share with you.

• In the canteen, all are happily eating “Chicken Liver Masala.” – I was bit worried about my Liver – because when there will be no chicken around then they will start eating human's Liver.
• People are cutting trees on the “World Environment Day” itself. -- They don’t have any kind of shame that they can atleast keep holiday on this particular day.
• Someone said if we will not use the plastic bags then we have to throw the plastic bags into the dustbins which are already produced…. what a wonderful thought.
• Someone said “I will plant few more trees. Right now let me use the Paper Napkin.”
• Someone said that my New Year resolution is to use public transport while going to office – But they didn’t tell that they are considering Auto rickshaw and Taxi into the public transport.
  

Like this there are many other incidents you can observe in your day to day life.

So, you can contribute in this global fight against climate change by just making small change in your life style.

Actually, telling about global warming and climate change is never ending story, but I will summarize here by asking only 3 questions which might ignite the fire in you.

If not earth…. Where?

If not now….. When?

If not you…....Who?
