Nature can exist without humans

It is my gratulatory response to "Hans India" which has shouldered the responsibility to expose the evidence about vicious anthropogenic acts that are making beautiful planet earth a dustbin.

It is shocking to absorb that due to indiscriminate influx of industrial effluents into the Bellandur lake, it catches indistinguishable fire and India's most beautiful green city choked in toxic fumes.

Thanks to the bipedal organism who had effortlessly tried to make the remark of Jaques Yveus Costeau ring true: "Water and air are two essential fluids on which all life depends have become global garbage cans."

Thanks to the designs of development proposed by state and the concept of SMART cities which are drawing the rural masses and leading to mushrooming of slums and making the lakes and tanks dirty holes.

There is a dire need to adapt sustainable development plans otherwise the extinguishable character of water will be altered as inflammable and the water bodies would remain as ticking time bombs.

Let us try to follow the 4 Rs (Reduce+Recycle+Reuse+Recover) in letter and spirit for our welfare and posterity. We, as the highly evolved, must honour the remark of Evo Morales: "Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth had right too, to live without pollution.

What humankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth. But the planet Earth can live without humans.” Beware!
