Environmental Degradation

It is always said, "A healthy mind resides in a healthy body", but to have a healthy body, we also need a healthy and clean environment. 

Today, environmental degradation is the result of human activities.Its a great threat for the planet. We have only one earth to live and work for our existence. If environment will be degraded then where will we live? Our existence is dependent on a disease-free environment.

The High Level Threat Panel of the United Nations has enlisted environmental degradation as one of the ten threats for us. We are excessively exploiting the available resources of the earth.

These natural resources are water, air, flora  and fauna.

We have scarce water resources yet they are being wasted. Large amount of water is used in industries and for urbanisation. Even the waste by industries is also thrown in water bodies.Growing population is also contributing to this ecological crisis.

It's high time to find a solution for this problem. If ignored it can be fatal.

So let's conserve water, otherwise we will repent later. We are wiping out both biotic and abiotic components in our environment.

Forest fire, wiping out the animal habitat areas, acid rain, the occurrence of different types of pollution such as water, air, soil pollution, urbanisation by cutting trees from a large area and many others are natural and man made activities.

It directly affects us.

People these days are so busy that they do not care for the environment. Garbage is dumped on the road which pollutes the land. In fact, trees which purify the air and the surrounding are cut mercilessly. Forests are cleared for settlement of people.

Governments, International Organisations, and NGOs Move to Protect Lives and the Climate from Dangerous Air Pollution.

"If we manage to reduce short lived climate pollution, we not only save millions of lives but also reduce global warming by as much as 0.6 degrees by 2050. This will be a significant contribution to limit global warming to 2 degrees," Ms Sundoft said. "This is some of the most important work the world community can do in the coming years. Often there are small and cheap efforts that are needed, such as using solar energy to heat and light up houses. But this isn't only about emissions from poor countries. For instance, diesel vehicles cause significant health problem in big cities across the world. Thus we have a considerable task ahead of us."

Many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are taking proactive steps to help protect and heal natural areas, and US with it.

EcoDrive is a Hong Kong-based organization that seeks to raise awareness of the dangers of single-use plastic. Through educating at schools, panels and presentations, the 11 women that founded this organization seek to reduce plastic use in their country. They also reach out to corporate offices to educate people in the workplace and how that reduction can lead to a cleaner city.

Presently, we all are the cause of degradation of the environment. The increasing demand level of human beings has brought pollution to such a level that it's very difficult to breath. 

  In Lockdown, when all stayed at home, all industrial activities stopped and vehicles stopped running, the pollution level became normal and the environment started breathing.

 Therefore, for conserving environment we will have to improve ourselves.Currently, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj is giving this inspiration to his disciples by which they are leading a normal life so that the environment can be protected. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj by his satsang tells that humans should have limited requirements, if we all follow his teachings then the level of pollution will be controlled.

 Today, in the blind race of urbanization, industrialisation  the forests are being cut and the big houses are being built in the name of development, due to which more water is used and natural resources are also exploited excessively.  Three to four vehicles are there in one home, doing vehicular pollution, if we limit our desires, then the environment can be protected.

Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj says that a human being can live in a small house with limited requirements, if all will follow  teachings of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, then the environment pollution will be eliminated.
