Mother Earth

I found this interesting article in one of the article I was going through. It did not have a name so I could not mention his/her name.

I am your mother Earth and I have to tell you that I'm tired of you, of your bombs, of your missiles - you're to loud.
See, I give you to drink. I give you to eat. But some of you even find a way to let others suffering hunger!
Since the day you've been born I attend you during your whole life and when you die I am your bed for you can rest in peace.
I'll still keep you in my memory when nothing remind anything of your being.
I carry you, I support you, I transport you, I am always there when you need me, I heel all your wounds.
If I would take away my cereal, my trees, my fruits, my oceans, where all the birds will sit and sing? where the horses will run? where would you paint the history of your glories, your great heroes, your victories, your miseries, your love, your hate?
What are you waiting for? To see my rivers running dry? Well, I know you, I hear the ones you've buried complaining about you. Have I ever depressed you with my gardens? Did I ever stress you with my perfumes? Go and lay to rest somewhere else. Do you want the sky? go ahead! Clime in the air and re-invent another existence, but out of my life. When I'm cereal you're burning me, when I'm water your polluting me, when I'm air you're contaminating me. You became arrogant and ignorant, your own pride has spoiled you. I cannot take it any longer. Is there some other people who could inhabit me? And respect me for what I am? Some other people who has open ears to listen to my voice when I'm talking? Who has eyes to see the signs of the time and react in harmony with me? Will you oblige me to destroy you? Now listen to my last words I'll have to tell you:
I AM THE EARTH, I AM WATER, I AM THE AIR, I AM FIRE, I AM WAITING PATIENTLY, YES I'M QUIET, UNTIL ONE DAY…DON'T BELIEVE YOU COULD SILENCE ME, IF YOU WON'T CHANGE, ON THAT DAY I'LL HAVE TO SILENCE YOU!

How to make this world a better place to live in!

We have the Copenhagen summit failing, kyoto protocol not being rectified and various climate talks that are going on. At the end of the day countries blame one another, no one is ready to compromise and so on. We as individuals also think that since large companies and countries which emits so much does not do anything WHAT WE CAN DO! and we end up doing debates and talks and critise.We watch 2012 movie and think what will happen. Wars, poverty, diseases, religious intolerance etc are increasing day by day.

But what we as individuals have done to make this world a better place to live in!! Once we think Mother EARTH as our home and treat it as we do to our sweet homes we will be able to contribute on a major scale.Though there are many ways I here list 10 ways according to me will help make this place a better place to live. This is not only about climate change but about everything that helps in building a better living place.

1)Use public means of transport atleast once a week.
2)Try to avoid as much as one can in using plastic, wasting oil, paper(pay bills online, ask for statements online), electricity etc.
3)Donate atleast 1% of salary to those in need per month.
4)Have strong faith in religion but avoid being a fundamentalist.
5)Try to visit places like orphans home, old age home, home for disables etc and spend time with them.
6)Plant a tree, participate in teaching(teach India campaign), in food distribution to poor( Akshya Patra) and various other socio-environmental issues.
7)Buy energy efficient products and use less of water heating and air conditioning machines.
8)Be tolerant and forgiving but speak against all evils.
9)Help one another; who knows you may also be in need and there is no one to help.
10) Propagate, help others, educate others and encourage others to also do atleast some of these things.

But the real funny thing is that we all know about this BUT WE DONT ACT UNDER THE EXCUSE OF COMMITMENTS, NO TIME ETC

ACT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!!!
