The pre monsoon showers have been pounding our city the last 2 days. In the beginning, it was a welcome shower as Bengaluru was under severe sweltering heat. Relief turned into rue as many areas were inundated. People of Bidadi were in for a shock as the water which flows upstream, picked up tons and tons of garbage from the areas it flowed and threw it all up in Bidadi. As we carelessly toss plastic, thrash into water bodies, this is the result.
Well, why are we intrigued by this? The 22nd of May is dedicated to national bio-diversity day. Animals, plants, trees, micro-organisms, humans and scores of living beings call our Earth their home!
Are we caring for bio-diversity; that is caring for other life on this Earth? Plastic, deforestation, and encroachment of water bodies is quite normal. Sustainable farming, that bolsters all life forms on this Earth is the need of the hour.
Let's understand the importance of every creature on this Earth as mindful as we can. Let's make our young generation understand the nuances of the environment and its upkeep!
