Everywhere there is a chaos regarding the environment. The entire humanity knows well the consequences of our unhealthy activities for the environment if carried out then there will be no Earth to live on, no homo sapiens to exist as today. There used to be a lot of debates, meetings, discussions either at schools or different government bodies. Also international conferences on Earth like Rio Summit etc by different organizations and forming policies for the sake of the environment. The government is doing their responsible work. Now the question is- Are we really doing something to protect our resources, environment and ultimately our Earth. By changing some of our habits we can really help a lot and become the savior of our planet like any other super heroes. Remember the super power is inside us only.
Environmental conditions on Earth are not very impressive and becoming disastrous with carbon dioxide emission on perpetual rise, increasing global water crisis, utter exploitation of fossil fuels and changing climatic conditions across the globe are indicating high chances of climatic chaos. Planting trees, protecting trees, nurturing trees and having more and more trees, is the only measure available (amongst others) to save our planet. If technology is majorly responsible for the fast depletion of our natural resources then technology can be used as the savior too. We can start this by altering the way we read.
