| Every individual has a role to play in saving the environment | | | All over the world 22 April was observed as the World Earth Day. Special events and programmes were held on this day. The message is loud and clear that our earth needs special attention for the survival of human life on it. The World Earth Day, 2009 is a special day as it also marks the beginning of the green revolution campaign in America.
This initiative will help in negotiating a new global climate agreement in which various proposals are to be discussed about the preservation of the earth and its environment. Ever since man set his foot on the path of research and discovery he left hardly anything untouched. The way new branches of knowledge and information are growing can be described as no less than a miracle. The objects or tasks which were considered impossible and unattainable stand conquered. However this exploration has put the earth at stake and our environment as well. The deterioration is going on continuously and has now not only put our own survival in danger but the fate of the earth itself is in jeopardy. The ever increasing dependability on the non renewable resources of energy has done an irreparable damage to our environment. The gases emanating from them have depleted the ozone layer and also increased the presence of the harmful gases. It is estimated that nearly one lakh people participated in Washington on the occasion of the earth day. The participants were made aware about their role and contribution they can make towards the protection of earth. It is an important issue confronted by the people all over the world. Not only should our efforts be at national and global level, but more importantly at local level, because the problem is all pervasive. It isn’t too late to come forward and do something. As already mentioned it is a global phenomenon which requires the efforts of each one of us and thereby foster a change in the whole world. Perhaps there is an important role which can be played by the student community in sensitizing the society about this grave issue confronting planet earth.
