Environmental Empathy

Trash Everywhere (Reduce, Reuse & Recycle)

4/10/2009

I recently was on a train journey to Shirdi, the place where the enlightened being Sai Baba once lived, and felt really sorry for all the trash that I saw everywhere. I am suprised that people seem to be oblivious to the lurking dangers of the trash they have created around the neighbourhoods they live in. I don't think Sri Sai Baba would have liked it much either. GOD - The Creator, has meticulously designed the planet and the life on it to thrive and sustain. People seem to have forgotten about the simple ways of living and seem to be trashing the planet. Modern day technologies have brought us lots of efficiencies and automation but it also brought wastage along with it. We seem to be consuming more than what we need and have become material gatherers while our fore-fathers have always taught us how to give up on such material things. We should go back to living simple and natural lives and use technology that is sustainable and stop using technology that is harming the planet. We are all capable of making the right choices. Use reusable cloth bags instead of thin plastic bags. Use bio-degradable paper plates or reusable steel plates instead of plastic plates. If you have to use plastic, make sure it is disposed off responsibily and not just thrown anywhere to litter the environment. Don't waste water, paper and electricity. Go Green and plant more trees and nuture them to grow because they recycle the carbon dioxide we generate and also cool the air around us so we don't need to use air conditioners. I hope to see a change in peoples' ways before it is not too late.
