Samudravasane Pruthvi ! Parvatastana mandale!!
Vishnu Patni Namastubhyam ! Paadasparsham Kshamaswame !!
Oh! Mother earth!! I offer my humble obeisance unto you!!
You have blessed me with everything I need!!
Still I am hurting you in all possible ways to fulfill my greed!!
Oh!! Divine mother, please forgive me for keeping my foot upon you!!
Mr. Coordinator, Toastmasters and Guests,
Our ancestors worshipped the river, trees, birds, animals, water, earth, air, fire … you name it… They respected each form of life!! They had realized the divinity of the nature!!
They asked for forgiveness before placing their foot on the ground!!
But now, we, the most scientifically advanced call them superstitious..!!!
Didn’t we forget our roots, while in the race for wealth?
Impact?? Now it’s hunting us all down like a cannibal...!!!!
Today, we are getting burnt by ultra violet radiations!!
Made to breath the polluted air!!
Have to eat the apple injected with pesticides!!
We see animals and plants going extinct every day - vanishing forever!!
Rising co2 level in the atmosphere has crossed 387 PPM.
It has been increasing at a rate of 45% in last 50 years.
If continued, it rises the earth’s temperature by 6 degree Celsius in next 50 years. Penalty is… none other than… the dooms day!!
Think for a while… Do you have the solution for all these??
Can u fix the holes in ozone layer?
Can u bring salmon back up a dead stream?
Can u bring back an animal now extinct?
No… U can't..!!
You can't bring back forests where there is desert now
You can’t bring down the earth’s temperature!!
You can’t stop the ice melting down in Antarctica!!
If you can’t fix it, at-least stop breaking it!
You are standing on the edge of a cliff; a step forward is never called as progress. It is… suicide....!!!!
Wake up guys!! There isn’t another earth!!
Remember, not a single resource is unlimited, everything is scarce.
It’s our own duty to make sure that it stays replenished.
Contribute your 2 cents to save your own planet!! Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle!!
You don’t need to walk an extra mile to do this. Just adapt simple strategies in your daily life.
– Rethink your mode of commute
– Ramp up your recycling strategy
– Reduce the usage of plastic
– Turn off the monitor after use
– Print a page only if it is absolute necessity
– Use the air-conditioner judiciously
– Prolong the life of electronic gadgets
– Eat smart – avoid paper cups
Last but not the least, plant a sapling for the birthday of your loved one. The most precious gift one can ever give!!
Go back to history; learn from the Geometry of Nature, Mimic Nature and take back where it was!!
Nurture the nature for your own Future!
Live Green, Love Green and Think Green!!
