People who burn or flood their own houses will be considered mentally disabled by the society. A government which allows the land to be burnt and flooded can also be attributed similar brickbats. A meaningful and full fledged environment and forest departments are necessary to ensure that we do not use up all the happiness that mother earth has bestowed on us and leave behind a hellish life for the future generations. People are seldom aware about the activities of the departments concerned with forest, environment. Failure of the administration can be seen from the way the surrounding forest is protected near the irrigation projects like Singda. Jhuming cultivation is carried out now where greeneries have to seen. Numbers of vehicles using diesel engines are increasing manifold in the state. The Forest department is a major department and there are large numbers of experts who can carry out the works in a professional way. The Environment and Ecology Wing was established in 1997 and it still remains a fragile department looking after the fragile environment. It should be an independent body with least interference. Political leaders often take it for granted that environmental clearance will be given by the department. It has become a ritual. Works have to be done, constructions carried out but there should be a procedure that we stop polluting our environment. It was not long ago that fan was kept in a corner only to be rusted but now demands for AC are increasing. Life is hard without power supply in summer and in winter it is the same problem. Our contributions to global warming are immense which is bad. We have to control the increase in numbers of diesel engines, many states are doing well and the national capital where one had to inhale harmful gases is now comparatively safe. Serious works should be done in this regard, we are not talking about tender of teak, planting of trees on environment day but about serious business. The government should take environment seriously and works should be coordinated so that we reduce the harms done to the environment. Green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide must be in abundance in our state. Green House Gasses are the ingredients of the atmosphere that add to the greenhouse effect. People studying the climate record of the earth have the opinion now that human actions, mainly the discharge of green house gases from smokestacks, vehicles, and burning forests, are perhaps the leading power driving the fashion. The gases append to the planet’s normal greenhouse effect, permitting sunlight in, but stopping some of the ensuing heat from radiating back to space. Based on the study on past climate shifts, notes of current situations, and computer simulations, many climate scientists say that lacking of big curbs in greenhouse gas discharges, the 21st century might see temperatures rise of about 3 to 8 degrees, climate patterns piercingly shift, ice sheets contract and seas rise several feet. With the probable exemption of one more world war, a huge asteroid, or a fatal plague, global warming may be the only most danger to our planet earth. Stop burning your own house.
