Environment
is getting depleted, polluted and Oxygen less day by day without which the
survival of mankind would become a think of the past and the worst of all,
people are still not aware of it. They are still guided by the so called rules
of economics to earn profit and that economic development is a panacea to all
ills. Today we find the whole world caught-mercilessly in the perilous jaw of
Environmental Pollution and ecological degradation.
Some
elements have played havoc with Environment. CFC’s the only man made chemicals
is used as coolants in refrigerators, air conditioner and as solvent for
cleaning computers and circuit boards. Evidence indicate that the chemicals are
finding their way into the atmosphere and destroying the ozone layer where as
ozone layer filters out most of the ultraviolet rays of the sunlight. It is
believed that the destruction of ozone layer would dramatically increase the
skin cancer and a drop in crop yield etc.
Similarly,
cyclical fluctuation in temperature known as Green house effect is another
contributory factor of the Environmental Pollution. This is building up the
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which gradually increases the temperature,
which would have an ultimate effects like the rise in the level of sea, Global
warning, and melting of ice sheets in the polar regions, which would bring a
drastic change in the environment.
Air
pollution due to the release of toxic fumes in the air is creating hazardous
effects not only on the animals and birds, proper and clean atmosphere is a
requirement for the survival of life on the planet.
Toxic
waste goes untreated in the water ways, especially in the third world
countries, a statistics reveals that 90 percent of the industries in Pakistan
has no water treatment plant and as a result of this negligence almost all
quantity of chemical waste is deposited in our main water sources i.e. rivers
and lakes.
Apart
from these main causes, there are some other causes as well, which are
gradually depleting the environment. Among them is noise pollution, due to the
production of automobiles, Ignorance to environment is another cause of the
pollution especially with respect to the third world countries and the other
developing nations. Nextly over population is another contributory factor, over
population has led to an increase in the demand and production of the industrial
goods, which eventually plays havoc with the environment.
Several
effects could be listed with respect to the growing environmental pollution,
for example, some depletion, rising temperature, low mortality rate, a morbid
increase in the human disease and increase physical disabilities.
This
global degradation of the Environment is a note of concern. We do not, only,
have to make this world safe for democracy but also for living. Ideological
conflicts are long forgotten attributes of conflict and warfare. Now a war is
required against pollution. A dynamic leadership is required, at a Global level
which would pool a public support through out the world, especially the role of
United Nations and its Environmental Programmer (UNEP) be implemented through out
the world.
Under
United Nations Environmental Programmes, it should become imperative for all
the member countries to enact laws for the prediction of environment. These
laws should make in imperative for every industry to keep a recycling plant so
that rivers and water channels could be made safe for drinking purposes
and for the marine species.
Scientific
research should undergo a change, natural source of energy should be utilized
for all practical purposes, for example, automobiles, refrigeration etc. The
member countries should develop a fund for the research of an alternative form
of energy which would be less hazardous, for health and environment.
Natural
resources should be protected and instead of decreasing such resources, an
increase in such resources should be adopted.
The
UNEP should also adopt a planting seasons where by the member countries be made
liable to plant trees at Federal level.
In
order to promote environmental concern among the countries and individual a
number of project have been undertaken by several national and international
organization. These organization have not only held conference and seminars but
also intense efforts are being pushed by them for legislation in the countries.
In addition a globe wide media campaign has been launched by United Nations
Environmental Protection Agency.
Over
the last few years there has been a positive sign of the change in the
Governmental policy towards this issue. The Govt. of Pakistan has established a
number of agencies, which in relation with number of agencies, international
agencies and Non Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) are working to halt the
growing depression of Environment.
Efforts cannot succeed unless they are
being done at group level and a commitment
to realization is another thing needed.
It is important to note that solution lies through
the civic environmentalism approach.
This is not “my” world. This is “our” world and
the effort at the level “us” is
required for all practical reasons.
