Indian Wealth

India, the land of diversities, has been a home to ancient sages and millions of marvellous products of evolution of life. The green blankets of grass protect the rodents underneath. The gigantic trees support many generations of primates and birds. The ponds and lakes contain an entirely different world of aquatic animals. All was well in this huge home until a new species evolved a million years ago. This being was neither as strong as a lion nor as swift as squirrel. But this being was destined to dominate the world with its intelligence, which would make it the most powerful species. This unique product of evolution was Man.

In ancient India, Man was stimulated by the peculiarity of Nature and was provoked to find the secrets hidden in the caves of Science. Thus, sages and high thinkers flourished here in abundance. Man understood the priceless value of Nature. He learnt to live as part of it. Forests were the most priced possessions of ancient Indians. But this did not last for long.

The population of humans increased dramatically. The need for food and space drove humans to the forest and as a consequence deforestation began to increase.

This is continuing even now. In addition to that, we, in India are polluting Nature4 in every possible way. The flexibility of plastic and its easy availability has further increased soil pollution. The vehicles on the roads are polluting the atmosphere as never before. There are frequent oil spills, which take away the lives of millions of beings. We are inviting our own doom!

India is a developing nation. India is not wealthy in terms of materialistic money, but India is one of the richest nations in terms of natural wealth of wildlife and jungles. The Indians are poor in terms of money and therefore they cannot afford to pay for eco-friendly products. Hence they opt for cheaper synthetic products, which are eco-unfriendly.

I, as a true Indian, have assigned myself the duty of protecting India’s wealth for the benefit and existence of humanity as a whole, and to make India and Indians feel good.

It is my aim to become a scientist in the field of environment sciences and find out new alternatives to eco-unfriendly products. I will devote all my time to promote e4co-friendly activities. This is my plan for the future. At present I am still doing my best to be environment friendly.

It is in the hands of us Indians to save India’s forests, which form the identity of India and are India’s symbol. Every Indian must do his or her best to keep up the identity of our motherland. The future of India is solely in the hands of us Indians. If we protect our natural resources, India Will regain its past glory and rise above all nations. But if we continue to harm natural resources of India, there will be no India at all!

If we want India and the future generations to feel good, then we must protect our environment.
