Why should we protect our environment
Nowadays you must have heard about the growing concern towards global
environmental problems.One may ask why there is so much concern about
the environment.The answer is simple and clear; our very existence
depends on conservation of the environment.The unprecedented economic
progress of 19th and 20th centuries has pushed the environmental and
ecological awareness into the background.However,today the whole
world,particularly the developing countries,faces a near-crisis
situation – both economic and environmental.
Perception of environmental concerns differs.Broadly,there are three
types of responses.The first one says that environmental concern is a
conspiracy of the developed First World against progress in the Third
World and that environment will become an issue of importance only when
the underdeveloped countries reach the levels of production and
consumption of the industrialized nations.
The second argues strongly that all this nonsense about preserving the
tiger and aesthetic beauty of green belts is diverting the attention
from the problems of the poor and that environment has nothing to do
with trying to give a better deal to the large and ever-growing
population responsible for environmental crisis,maintaining that there
is too little of everything except people.The three different views
illustrate how little we know of ecosystem and ecobalance.Let us
examine each of these arguments briefly.
The first argument is that environmental concerns are the business of
rich countries,which cause most of the pollution.But environment and
development are not necessarily incompatible.The mistake made by
developed countries can be avoided if proper developmental strategies
are worked out.Further,there is no division such as the environment of
developed countries and that of developing countries.Degradation of
the environment is going to affect each of us irrespective of the
country,region or area.
