There were some movies few years back, which showed the end of the humankind and survival of a very few, these movies like 2012 and Avatar (English version) has tried to display our negligence towards the environment and its consequences, today when we are the end of 2020 and we all have witnessed the power of nature and change of the times. What is happening around no one has ever thought of. Now when we are at a stage of killing the virus, we at the same time should not forget the power of our mother nature. There is third round of testing going on after which we might get the right medicine and again a free environment to enjoy. Time to visit meet, greet and hug our loved ones.
However, at the same time we should not forget the time, which we mostly spent in 2020 and should always keep in our minds that any negligence with environment or Mother Nature will have brutal consequences. The nature is equal to all: be it plants a animals birds etc. Each one of us has right to enjoy the nature as per our choices. Hence, we the humans have to rethink once again before theCovid Dies about our past performances to improve and our future contributions to the Mother Nature. If we still do not understand this then I think it is the time to remind that there was a time when there were Dinosaurs which no more have any existence now but we still find their proof of existence in many ways. The Covid virus was also a man-made production at the same time the whole world has been struggling on the same.
* We make big houses for us, make lavish furniture and hence we cut trees (home for lacs of birds). We cannot stop making of our homes but at least we can plant ten times more trees and plants to balance the nature.
* We want good clothes, good food all processed in factories and industries whose waste again goes and pollutes our rivers, and we spend crores in cleaning these rivers lateron.
* We want heaters in winters, AC in summers, want refrigeration, want cars, our factories are running but all these things are at the cost of global warming.
* Our eating habits have been changed, we kill, we eat meat, and sometimes we do not kill but we still eat meat, we need to rethink: are we made for this?
* We want to fly high in airplanes, use refrigeration and use Air-conditions but at the same time destroying our ozone layer and creating skin related diseases.
* We want cleanliness at our homes inside and at the same time, we throw all the waste, plastic, garbage etc. outside creating hazardous environment.
* We wash and clean our clothes with detergents and soaps but finally tons of detergent is going into the sea harming the sea life.
There are various things, which we are doing daily and proceeding towards a dead end, it is hence the time to rethink and try to minimize our dependence on these deadly things in order to save humankind.
We cannot stop taking natures help, after all, we have lot of our dependence on it and hence we call it Mother Nature. At the same time,each one of us have to contribute back with interest for whatever we take from the nature so that we leave a bright future for our generations to come.
