Everything that rolls around is something we are fond of! Trees laugh, flowers blush, rivers sing, stars wink, wind swings. All of them accompanies us in every journey of love and admire. They accept us in every color of sadness and happiness. But, are we accepting them as the way they are? Are we allowing them to sustain with us in every aspect of our lives? When I sat to think about it, the truth that lied behind has taken me aback.The answer that nature gave me was something like “Insidious”, haunting but never ending! And she demanded me an answer. So, here I am, with her bleeding letter to you, trying to find out the answers to wipe her tears.We need to think, what are we doing to our environment? Why are we destroying it for our convenience? Why are we hurting it to keep ourselves in couch? And the answer to all these questions, disturbed me. Nature never hurts us, even when we hurt nature. But, everything in excess is opposed by nature.And this is the sole reason why we face natural disasters. Trying to alter the space of nature will surely lead to a devastating act of divine authority to ask for the rights of appliance. The divine power, the great God, has given everything in this universe a space. A space, enough for us to live happily. But, no, we wanted more, so we destroyed more! And thus, we are suffering more! I asked this to nature. And she answered me the way I have never thought it to be! Let’s see what she cried out.Nature is beautiful. Then why are we trying to swipe its charm away to make ourselves shine? Is this what we call modernization? Is this what we call civilization? For us, civilization is something that turns the tables upside down, and so does with our nature too!!!

Carrying a polythene bag can make us look civilized, but carrying a cloth bag can make us looksmart. Smart for nature! Smart for future! Well, of course, I don’t want to touch that plastic-clothdebate…but I want to make all my readers, the smart readers. And I am happy to see your smallstep towards smartness, and that is- “Reading me in your gadget than using the papers”. Well, Iwould love to find more like you. Not only bags, we need to look for alternatives to otherthings, like, your vehicle, your food, your beauty products, and let’s not miss, your garbage too.Switching to a public transport may be tiring, but opting for car pool is a good option for savingenvironment and saving your money too ;) Well, I’ll be happy if my advice can help you find more

companions.

Shifting to green and healthy food can help you turn organic towards nature. Your pizzas,burgers, spring rolls, momos, noodles may or may harm you but their disposal and theiringredients will surely harm our mother nature. The way they are cooked, the raw andsynthesized ingredients and the way left over is disposed, can deteriorate the present condition.You may not miss your tangy taste, but can make them look healthier for nature. Ask the vendorsto use dustbins, gloves, paper plates and mosquito nets to serve a green junky!

And, dear ladies, your beauty products can make you look beautiful, but can snatch the beauty ofEarth. Mother Earth asks your pimples and blackheads to use herbals. Using chemicals canindirectly harm surroundings as their washing off in drains can lead to severe environmentalissues. Use natural to be natural and serve the nature!

God has colored thisbeautiful creation. Wecan’t be God. But wecan be hispreservatives.Preserving hisdrawings from splittingwith wastes andpollution. Globalwarming may bringheat to melt his colorsinto vain. And then,there will be nothing!Nothing to enjoy!Nothing to colorbeautifully! Just heatand smoke, taking thelives of many…

And now, reducing the best part, your garbage! There are different garbage- Wet and Dry, Degradable and Non-Degradable, Infectious and Non-Infectious, Recyclable and Non-Recyclable, Biotic and Non-Biotic…and the list includes more such! But here, I am not your Science teacher. But your Green Environment companion! This is to tell you how to deal with your stuff. You may feel uncomfortable while travelling when you find any wet garbage in your car. And that is something similar when environmentalists find non degradable and abiotic wastes in nature. We all want our houses clean. Then why don’t we keep the house of animals free of such shits? Is it because they are not humans? Or do we not consider them as living beings? Well, then, dear so called living beings, let’s not forget that the animals and plants also share the place with us. We need to treat them like we treat ourselves. God made humans to think like humans, and not like a heartless creature. Who are we to decide the space of other creatures! Give them a place, a place to live, a place free of garbage.

The greatest example I can give that has surprised me in a great sense is of human body. God is so cautious of not generating the wastes that he has made our body in the way that does not cause any pollutants to nature. The living creatures are made up of 5 elements, namely, earth, water, fire, air and space. When died, our bodies never create pollution as these elements vanish in the nature. So, if this much complex form can magically vanish from this earth without any stain in the universe, then why can’t we, with such great minds and technologies find the ways out to reduce the ever collecting wastes and ever increasing pollution in the world.

Let’s not make the place a hell to die in, but the heaven

to live.

But you need not worry, dear readers. I am not asking you to invent the Doraemon pocket to get the gadgets out, but requesting you to think of this issue and find the ways out at the individual level to cure the mother Earth. Small steps on your part can lead to a longer path of beauty and

benefit of nature.Our tendency of taking the available things for granted should be altered and we should

understand the beauty of mother Earth. Not going to the discussion of Sustainable Development here, I am just asking you to be more “selfish” and think about the future of your children,

where, they will have no water parks, no air balloons, no cars, no AC’s, no gardens, no flowers. They will be left in a world of machines and garbage, where, they will carry their oxygen mask and heavy oxygen cylinders on their bicycles to travel. Small changes on our part can bring a

bright and green future.

It’s all about a small step a day! Laughing of trees, blushing of flowers, singing of rivers, winking of stars and swinging of wind will not be a fairy tale for our tiny tots.
