Changing modern lifestyle is the only option to restore the balance in Nature. We cannot go back to the past. We cannot just click the undo button. So what can we do now? How can we restore the balance in nature? It is not possible for us to rewind back to the ancient times. And we cannot think about the nature without human too. The only way is to use our resource to mend our damages. We cannot change our modern lifestyle. But we can use it in planned way and use science and technology to restore the nature and to rectify our mistakes.

Modern lifestyle doesn’t mean clearing out forests for constructing cities and roads; it doesn’t mean raising dams in an unplanned way; it doesn’t mean clearing out forest areas to grow monoculture plantation. Modern lifestyle means fulfilling our debt without harming our Nature. We can fulfil the debt by planting 10 trees, if one is cut down; planning our dams wisely; grow indigenous diverse plantation.  

We all know the theme of environmental day this year is “eco system restoration”. What is meant by ecosystem restoration? We can take the example of the water body restoration. Restoring an aquatic system doesn’t mean its re-excavation or construction of embankment for its beautification or to increase the aesthetic value. Restoration of ecosystem means to let the ecosystem be free from any human intervention and let the nature take its own course to restore natural condition. This is termed as succession in ecology. Through such knowledge acquired from scientific studies can only show us the right way to restore or preserve the nature and to remain in its balanced state.  So, without the modern life style in true sense, it is not possible to keep the earth blue.

Changing our modern lifestyle and putting a halt over science, means losing our only chance to restore nature.

    Opinion expressed is true. Many of us feel the same but fail to restrain or curb our actions of disturbing the undisturbed until very necessary. We need to be more responsible and set examples around us by respecting all components of the nature and its creations. Nature gives the best reward for every good deed.

Paperless institution: Fantasy or Emerging Reality.

Sam’s pen Environment issues not only affect humans but became a concern for every other species and nation these days. Environmental concerns have equitably become both local and global issues. In order to protect the environment and the world, we are changing our lifestyles and altering certain practices. While environmental issues such as global warming, climate change, waste disposal, water pollution, etc have become both local and global concerns, one of the newer initiatives for improving the quality of the environment is to reduce the consumption of paper. As is common knowledge, trees and other organic materials are the source of paper. We must understand the history and origin of paper if we are to go paperless. The earliest type of paper ever used in human civilization is known to be Papyrus. It was made of something resembling heavy paper. Papyrus was developed by the ancient Egyptians from the Cyperus papyrus plant around 4000 BC. The other name of it is Nile grass. It...

The Television Antenna

  The Television Antenna             Last year I was in Ahmedabad for some official work. The city has a warm charm to it. My Friend, Raju was living there that time, and I planned to meet him. Raju was an Electrical Engineer and graduated from a reputed Engineering College. I got his phone number from Kuttu, who is now in teaching profession in a University. Receiving my call in Ahmedabad, he was delighted and invited me for a get-together.                After enjoying the ride in the calm waters of Kankariya lake I proceeded for the venue, as given by Raju, to join the party.   When we met at 7.15 p.m. the sun was still smiling. It was quite unlike our native place.             I was very happy to see Raju after so many years. Even though he was bald now with thick glasses and a stylish goatee,...
