Today the 22nd of April, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth's Day. Should we not feel remorseful for our actions Earth, the place where we live and get all the comfort of life is fading in its beauty. Does planting trees on one particular day make any difference to the devastation caused everyday?
Global Warming & Deforestation are some of the major issues which took place just because of our lack of awareness. Simply one day of respect towards Mother Nature does not do any difference to the huge crisis which is on its way. However, if seen from another perspective, in some aspects we are so sagacious that we at least tend to offer one day to our home, Earth.
It is really heart breaking to see the way we are parting with the beautiful gift of God. Sometimes knowingly and at times unknowingly, we have caused great trouble to Mother Nature. May be as the result of repercussions created by us, we are perceiving threat since the last five years. The dreadful Indonesian Tsunami attack on 26th December, 2004 killed more than 20,000 people. Recently the Haiti Earthquake on 12th January, 2010, considered as the 6th deadliest earthquake affected more than 3 millions people with 92,000 casualties. Now the sudden eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland caused a major problem in the air traffic. The nearby place was evacuated because of the rapid breakout of plumes, magma and volcanic ashes.
These major outbreaks are a result of the seeds sown by mankind, the so called unique creation of God. What a disgrace! We couldn't even handle a single planet. Whereas Earth, as recorded on the 22nd of April 2010 is providing life to 6,816,300,000 human beings. How despicable!
