To understand human nature is to grasp the essence of what it is to be Human. As it is said, the essence is often held to relate things of different kinds to each other. So, it is crucial and laborious to couple or weld humans to green, connecting humans to nature. In the 21st century, societies are faced with rapid urbanization and population growth which will be picked up forever. Human activities such as pollution, burning fossil fuels which give greenhouse gases, global warming, deforestation, and changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and importable water. We as human beings know how the environment is affected by our activities but we do not take to control it. Though many schemes launched by the government and signed pacts with foreign countries to maintain environmental sustainability, there is something lacking: awareness. Here it means humans have to accept that whatever activities are done them are not eco-friendly and they do not know how to make balance with natural resources.
Increased emissions of greenhouse gases have caused the temperature to rise which is causing catastrophic events all over the world. From driving to brushing teeth to wasting, each habit affects the environment in some or other ways. Disposal of batteries and ink cartridges that contain toxic chemicals that damage wildlife and sea life. As in our country, India, 70% of all household traces and waste that eventually end up in landfills are because by plastic containers, plastic bags, etc. Corporate companies are found to be complicit in deforestation, for example, they will announce a new environmental sustainability plan but this will continue as soon as public pressure is there otherwise, they will simply slip back into their old bad habits.
Nature-based solutions are often referred to as being innovative but they should not include exclusively new solutions. The government should strictly make rules and regulations for throwing waste garbage on the roadside or in sea lakes. Mainly in semi-urban cities of India, they should dispose of waste and should keep dustbins at a proper distance. There are many ways to protect our environment by purchasing recycled products and conserving natural resources. We should approach people around to join awareness camps and foundations by which they will also learn how to make clean surroundings and they can also encourage their families and friends.
