Going through the usual news feed one would find increasing prices of the vegetables and cereals very common news, and would rather ignore it saying some sort of excuse, or many might just pass by the news noticing it's nothing serious that he would really care to read, and so is the case with many people.
but the problem is way way worse than it has ever been. Take a look at this video from Vox.
The video depicts CO2 emissions of the last one or two decades. But in the beginning it highlights with the voice that every year next year they say is the warmest year yet. This means that every year the temperature is rising, and at the end it's written that we are in really uncharted waters, that means the climatic changes are so drastic this time, it's like never before.
Now the bigger question is and always have been, can we do something about it ?, and the answer is plain and simple as it always have been, sure we are the only one species who can.
But I believe that if you don't know the problem, you can't solve is as they say "The first step towards solving the problem is understanding it", this is where education comes into play, make no mistake when I say Education I don't mean literate because they both have different definitions. Education plays an important role in this, educated people will understand the problem well and might as well try to solve it but for the un-educated it's all the same, and the big deal is educated people are so naive that they don't even want to hear about any thing that is related to environment, but when environment kills it won't differentiate between anyone.
People really drive themselves to their intellectual limits to achieve that they want to achieve and that is fairly materialistic or emotional, well fair enough no one can argue about that, but in doing so are we addressing the biggest problem of all the problems. That is the question about environment that surrounds us all, under which all rich and poor all sharp and dumbs live, but either all of us are just too blind to see or we are just too ignorant that we just don't wanna see, but when in rains it rains for all.
Take my beloved city Dehradun for instance, I came here some time back, back then it was all green either you sit in your room or go out towards woods it was all quite very calm, very peaceful, I have to say it has changed drastically but I still love it because it still holds that aura about it. mainly because of the reserved forest. but the agricultural land of the village is reduced to about 50% from where I see it. Well enough about my village the whole Dehradun saw the same changes, roads grew wider numbers of cars and oil based vehicles escalated and all plants on the road divider got covered with black fumes of the emission of the vehicles. I'm not trying to be Hippocratic here I do own a vehicle but you just can't bear the sheer amount of the smoke that some diesel vehicles emits. When this morning my father said reading the front page news in the newspaper that yesterday Dehradun's temperature rose 3 times in 9 hours. I realised this is December for gods sake, what will happen when May and June comes.
When I think that this is the land where people are all attched to the nature very closely and where the heritage is about sacrifice for this nature where the trees and plants are worshiped, we are directly or indirectly poisioning our City, our State, our Country, our World, which is so unique that there's a slim to none possiblity of finding another one like this in the known universe.
But if this stays the same, forget about 2020's, Dehradun my beloved city will become Delhi sooner that that but not on the good side because believe me "Delhi is not Good". Like the good old fashioned environment articles I'll not present you guys with the solution, you already know the solution, and there are plenty of them weather you buy a cycle to reduce your travel with oil based vehicles or you just just plant a tree or you choose not to sit in a bus that emits that nasty smoke, it's up to you, all I ask is make a difference.
