Project Proposal on Environment Conservation
All the greens are turning into ash. She gives us life, nurtures us with her light and shade and we poison her for years…every single day! She gives us the purest form of water and we contaminate her with toxics. She is Mother Earth, who weaves life for us from cradle to grave and we in return destroy her. And every time we give her death, we take a step forward towards our own.
Mother Earth has blessed us with life since time immemorial but the unscrupulous behavior of mankind has led to a variety of environmental hazards. The scenes of the movies like “Day After Tomorrow” and “2012” are disbelieving, counter questioning the whole idea in present day’s context with regards to escalating pollution, deforestation, population explosion & diminishing resources. From pollution to population explosion, from destruction of rain forests to the melting glaciers in the Arctic, our environment is dying and we are dying with it.
A major environment hazard in waiting, to strike us in the year 2048 is the Collapse of Fish Stock. Overfishing round the world, is leading to extinction of many species of fish and ocean mammals and this collapse will affect the world’s ecosystem in a major way. Major environmental issues are forest and agricultural degradation of land, resource depletion (water, mineral, forest, sand, rocks etc.), environmental degradation, public health, loss of biodiversity, loss of resilience in ecosystems, livelihood security for the poor. It is estimated that the country’s population will increase to about 1.26 billion by the year 2016. Water shortages, soil exhaustion and erosion, deforestation, air and water pollution afflicts in many ways. These include heavy pressure on land, land degradation, forests, habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity. Changing consumption pattern has led to rising demand for energy.
We need to save our environment before a day comes when we won’t be able to save ourselves. Ocean Dead Zones are developing, characterized by excessively low oxygen count and more of nitrogen from sewage, factory emissions and farm fertilizers. The most famous dead ocean zone is the Gulf of Mexico, where excess toxic sludge has flown into the sea.
The ice is melting and the average temperature of the Arctic is rising twice as fast as any other region of the world. Global warming is getting accelerated by the contraction of the Arctic ice cap. One of the worst environment hazards is Ozone Depletion, the main cause being release of Chlorofluorocarbons. The use of plastic bags has been banned worldwide and every country is trying to conserve the ozone layer of our atmosphere. The final outcomes of these are air pollution, global warming, climate change, water scarcity and water pollution.
One tree can give life to ten families; one stream can quench the thirst of a hundred throats. Go Green is the new mantra because no mortal can alter it an inch when nature comes in its best or at its worst. A new slogan ‘Hug a Tree’ should be practiced by each one of us by planting and conserving tree saplings & plants to let our future generations witness the nature in its best form. We go to find traces of water on the moon but do we try to find those areas on our earth that don’t receive even a drop of rain for years? It’s high time we save Mother Earth, else if She dies, we will die in her womb too.
The proposed project on “Awareness Generation on Environment Conservation & Tree Plantation Programme” in Nagpur, Maharashtra aims to sensitize people of Ramtek taluka that conserving our environment is the utmost need of the hour. Tree plantation drives would be carried out and the beneficiaries would plant saplings at parks, inside school campuses, hospital compounds, around houses and community areas. Trees would also be planted along the roadside all over the district. Community members would be stimulated to use cloth / recyclable bags, use dustbins, keep the surroundings clean through regular brooming and avoid water logging through immediate water suction machines by MCD. The NSS members of each school would be given the responsibility to spread awareness and take an active part in the Go Green drive not only inside their school but also in the entire area. The potential beneficiaries would be divided into support groups titled “Green Groups” and each group would be allotted the separate responsibility. The different activities to be undertaken by the group would be Tree Plantation, Pollution control, cleaning bore wells, cleaning marshland and swamps, etc.
