United Nations designated June 5 as World Environment Day for raising the level of global awareness. A safe environment is the sum total of many factors. It is a goal that cannot be achieved without beginning the task from our own homes. The poor add to the atmospheric pollution by using coal and wood as fuel. The rich make their contribution by using gizmos and products that are making holes in the fragile ozone layer. There were reports about the alarming reduction in the size of the glaciers that feed most of the rivers in India, including the holy Ganga and the Yamuna. If the trend continues, the region will have to cope with a catastrophe of mind-boggling dimensions. However, without a collective global effort there is little that India can do to reverse the trend. Yet, there is much that can still be done for saving the environment from man-made disasters. Take, for instance, the criminal neglect of the depleting forest wealth in Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal and its impact on the weather cycle. Uttaranchal is a new state and may take time to put into place effective measures for spreading the forest cover for saving the fragile mountain range from literally collapsing under the weight of man-made follies. But Himachal has no such excuse. No one after Y. S. Parmar has even bothered to prepare a roadmap for saving the state’s rare forest wealth from loot and plunder.
Nature is being raped in front of the powers that be in Shimla itself. This city was once called the queen of the hills. Today it has grown into a dangerously fragile concrete jungle that may come tumbling down in the event of an earthquake. The ban on the use of plastic has not been enforced. According to GAIL, the only way to save the country’s forest wealth from further depletion is by encouraging the use of plastic as a substitute for products made from wood. Be that as it may, it is about time for Greenpeace as also human rights organisations to close ranks and collectively raise their voice against the big polluters like the USA and Russia who between them generate more than half the life-threatening greenhouse gases. America does not tire of telling the globe about the need to protect human rights. It must be told by the rest of the world that a safe environment is, perhaps, a more basic human right than freeing adults and children from bondage. A safe environment is a fundamental right of every human being on this planet earth. But unless the principle of “polluter must pay” is enforced, powerful nations like the USA would continue to cock a snook at the world by taking away from individuals the right to safe and healthy life.
