"The struggle for existence"
This  is nothing new and is continuing from centuries....wherein the human  beings and the natural elements are literally fighting for survival on  the Blue planet.The Blue planet which is slowly turning into a concrete  planet with a smoky atmosphere.The blues and the greens of the planet  are disappearing leaving behind the smoky grays! Animals frequently  sneak into the human habitats because their own habitats have been  inhumanly cut down. We have been trying to subjugate the power of  nature.Now we have to be prepared for the after effects of our attempts  to make mother nature our "Helot". Natural disasters are the nature's  reply to man's deeds. The recent devastation caused by Tsunami and  earthquake in Japan and the changes in the pacific ocean zone are soon  going to cause threat to the western coastal areas of north and south  America, Japan and New Zea land are just a few examples...
We have cut down a number of agricultural lands to create space for new developments...
Talking  about my own city Indore, which was green half a decade ago and had  cultivable lands at its peripheries.The city especially the eastern zone  and along the Agra-Bombay highway had thousands of trees.But under the  name of so called development,the trees were cleared and the fields were  converted to big residential and industrial accomplishments, which is  really disappointing.The question that strikes my mind at this point is  that,If this is the condition of a single city then what about the  state,the nation and the whole world?This is a very big question  mark....
With the synthesis of polythene in 1898 though was accidental but with it we went a step ahead in disrupting the Nature.
Depleting  resources, increased number of disasters like tsunamis,floods etc.stand  as a proof of the fact that  man stands no where in front of the power  of nature and it is a red alert as well.Its high time now to approve of  this fact and need is to work  upon something like, "Herculean efforts"  to save our Earth, otherwise
"We are obviously heading towards our end....."
Certain measures that we must opt for, at individual levels could be:-
1.Tree Plantation
2.Saving electricity
3.Consume  less amount of fuel by using cycle as a medium of transport because  this can make up not only for our environment but also its healthy.If  the use of vehicle is inevitable..use CNG as the fuel.
4.Save  water by using bucket instead of shower while bathing and apply the  same for our every activity that requires the use of water.
5.Avoid the use of plastic.
6.Do  not throw plastic bags and bottles anywhere and everywhere because they  can not be destroyed,they can choke pipelines and stop the flow of  water.Or they can also be eaten by some hungry cattle....because we have  snatched their grasslands away from them....
7.Lastly,this  measure is not mechanical indeed its more of a philosophical  one.....just admire the nature for a while and you will understand the  seriousness of this issue..........
