Nowadays the most important task is the
environmental protection of our planet for future generations. To what extent
do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Environment has become a major cause of worry for the
politicians and environmentalists alike, as some say conserving it for the
future generations is of critical importance. There are others who are quite
cynical about this concern, and feel that this is simply a misleading claim and
consider it to be an absurd idea.
Saving surroundings from further deterioration, and keeping
them clean, and passing them to the next generation is the responsibility of
the current generation. This narrative is based on the belief that the people
living in the contemporary times have borrowed
the resources from their children; and hence it is necessary to take
care of what they have loaned from the inhabitants who would use it in the time
to come – perhaps a century later from now.
Furthermore, preserving nature for those who would populate
this planet in times to come, is surely a task to be handled now. The way the
environment, in all its spheres, is being destroyed, cleaning and bringing it
back to a state which could be termed as
fairly favorable for living conditions, is surely going to be an uphill task later
since it is feared that things might become insurmountable, and salvation may
be a far cry.
However, there is a lobby that sees selfish motives behind
this – the most prominent view that surfaces is that the worries being expressed
are overstated, and just a pretext to
siphon off public money. Every generation, as per them, has had its set of
challenges, and it is only them who have found out the way to negotiate those difficulties.
In a nutshell, I am of the view that ensuring a favorable
environment for the upcoming generation is of critical importance at present.
