– Dr. Rajendra Prasad Sharma
Even though millions of countries of the world are expressing concern about climate change. New resolutions are being passed daily in the summits. But the reality is that the countries of the world have been facing the maximum heat continuously for the last eight years. The way the speed of melting of glaciers is increasing in the last years. The way forest fires are happening. The way sea storms, cyclones or tsunamis are showing their effect every day. In fact it is becoming a matter of great concern.
Experts working in this field even believe that the crisis of existence of the cities situated on the banks of the glacier is also visible. Although timely information and improvement in the disaster management system, it is clearly visible that the loss of life due to natural calamities is minimal, but the way money is being lost and the infrastructure is being damaged, it is also increasing in its own way. You are serious.
In fact, the way the gifts given by nature have been exploited indiscriminately and by the time the side effects of new facilities come to our notice, we have lost a lot. Now access to the edges of glaciers and then using them as picnic spots has had a bad effect, not just plastic. Today scientists are beginning to believe that the way life has been made easier, all those reasons have been helpful in carbon emissions or rather in distorting nature. Today it is coming to the fore that e-mail itself, a common means of communication, is causing carbon emissions. Then it can be easily imagined how much our AC, our refrigerator, OTG, oven, electronic products of daily consumption are affecting.
Due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, we are now able to understand the affected fertility of the land and once again start talking about Vedic farming, or organic farming or traditional farming. This is just a hint. Today the emphasis is on re-populating the forests. Due to indiscriminate urbanization, we have affected our culture, tradition, climate and environment. Due to urbanization, high-rise concrete networks have taken the place of houses built in villages in a natural way.
This is only and only the result of neglecting the traditional building construction techniques in order to save time, space and money. Along with industrialization, the work of environmental protection that had to be done or should be said that the precautions that had to be taken, our attention was not paid in time. Natural sunlight and light are becoming a distant thing for the residents of high-rise buildings. Children playing in the mud has become a distant thing. If seen, distortions have started coming to the fore in the direction in which we turn our eyes.
In fact, we have lost a lot because of the market culture. Today, Japan is banning the use of ovens and OTGs. Advertisements for RO which used to appear on TV and in newspapers are now rarely seen. Even now there is talk of avoiding RO water. When talking about earthen utensils, it is being written on social media in favor and opposition of the use of items kept in freeze.
It would be pointless to talk about the ill effects caused by plastic. These are just a few examples which have been introduced by marketing experts in our daily life, without which we would have remained old fashioned. When their marketing reached the saturation level, now the talk of using their eco-friendly version has started. As if the common man himself has become a commodity and the world of marketing is making him an object of consumption in whatever way he wants. Today the world of fans of single and double wearing has left coolers behind and ACs are fast taking the place of coolers. This is a rapid change, whereas as soon as you are mildly ill, the first advice of the doctor will be to stop the use of freeze water, and secondly, reduce the use of AC.
The question is not that the journey of development should stop, but new development should also be talked about daily. But the one hundred and fifty question is that when something new is being introduced, immediate research should be done on its side effects so that its solution can be found in time. After all, there is much more than just marketing. We have to understand the causes of climate change and change in unseasonal weather with more heat, more cold and more rain. Otherwise, the excessive exploitation and misuse of nature should not become a burden on our existence, it will have to be thought of by the scientists in time.
