The very foundation of our existence, our Mother earth is a home for 1 .2 million identified species and 8.7 million species of total in plants and animals.
The very provider of our basic needs; shelter, air, water, food, and all other resources.
The earth we survive on is abused solely by us.
Due to illiteracy, we make not only the earth suffer, but also inhabitants except us; lives on the planet that can’t speak in a literal language.
Homicide is Homicide when it’s people but what is Homicide called when it is practised on speechless plants and animals?
Development is good until our environment is harmed.
A resident residing in Oshiwara speaks about Redevelopment,
“Everything in this area is going into redevelopment. It is good but since the construction off multiple buildings has started all together, the sky looks darker and grey and it is hard to breathe due to contaminants in air. “
Moral being that our worsened climatic situations are caused by our mistakes itself.
If you want development by shattering trees , you must grow the same amount of trees we are cutting down.
As residence of the planet Earth,
we must give out gifts as we receive ample of them.
It is our moral duty to keep our environment clean and habitat-full.
We as a team suggest to every fellow habitat of this planet who has a conscience, 1. To plant at-least 1 tree on each year on their birthday.
It is a blessing for you to give a life to a tree that will only help the environment for a better future.
