Are we really developed?

                                                     Are we really developed?

Our first home is our mother Earth. True, but what about our duties towards it. No doubt we are fully relied on it. No matter how much we earn to live a healthy life, we need healthy surroundings for being healthy. Today we have become so greedy, that we are limitlessly showing this to our mother earth. The one which has given us the shelter to live, we exploit its resources to the extreme. We are killing flora and faunas both land and aquatic, recklessly utilizing nature's bounty.
However, the question is how can we protect it? As the children of this earth, we have certain duties, which we should abide by no matter what. It's not only the duty of an environmentalist to protect the environment, but all of us. And to perform this we don't really need to launch big campaigns, instead, take few simple solution-oriented steps. Like we can try minimizing our plastic wastes. Try to plant small plants  and trees. Also as we are heading towards technological development, we can reduce our paper dependency and use cloud memory to save our notes. This will not only save paper but will be convenient to manage. We can try to make reservoirs for untreated water from factories and then process it further into clean water, which can again be used in some industrial work, rather than saving a little money to discharge it, untreated in any water body. We may not realize but it is our mistakes only whose after-effects we face. These all solutions might be ages old, but the real question is are we actually trying to follow them? Problems may be many but solutions are also within our reach, we just need a static mind, heart to take an oath to solve these rather than blaming each other. We need to understand that as long as we are destroying our environment, the earth ,we cannot call ourselves developed . Thus, trying to take few steps by each one of us can really be a boon for all of us. We have to question ourselves the solution before creating a problem that will affect each of us.
