However, our immediate environment that we live in, the habitat, is suffering majorly because of human callousness, lethargy and apathy. Current environmental problems genetrated by human apathy makes the habitat vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and in the future.
Waste Disposal and Management is one of the major problems being faced by the immediate Habitat. The over consumption of resources and creation of plastics are creating a huge crisis of waste disposal. All cities, districts and villages are notorious for generating an excessive amount of waste or garbage and dumping their waste in the immediate surroundings, the habitat! Plastic, fast food, packaging and cheap electronic wastes threaten the well being of humans. Waste disposal and management is one of urgent current environmental problem.
Deforestation and illegal cutting of green belts surrounding our liveable habitat: Our forests are natural sinks of carbon dioxide and produce fresh oxygen as well as helps in regulating temperature and rainfall. At present forests cover 30% of the land but every year tree cover is lost due to growing population demand for more food, shelter and cloth. Deforestation simply means clearing of green cover and make that land available for residential, industrial or commercial purpose. Here , we forget that by cutting off the green belts and converting them to yellow belts is harming both the environment, the habitat and the inhabitants, we humans!
Apart from the above 2 problems, the habitat we live in, is facing many major problems.
We at Habitat Times, would like to make the inhabitant aware of the ways of Sustainable living and development in a holistic manner to make a ‘Sustainable Habitat’.
We seek the co-operation of our readers in this endeavour of ours by spreading the message of awareness by sharing our page , our updates and our events.
