The greatest threat to humanity today is not terrorism. it is also not a war. global climate change is the same.

"Climate change can be real. It's happening right away, it's a real emergency facing all species and we must work together to prevent the recession." ~ Leonardo Di Caprio

Yes, internal changes caused by action threaten our health on this planet. Not only humans but also nature is difficult. Today, the level of "food production" is not the same because it was twenty years ago. Fruits have lost their natural flavor, while vegetables appear to have lost nutrients, which is in line with a research project here.

That is not to say that we should always look for alternatives to Mars or the Moon. it is absolutely impossible and foolish to waste resources looking for a life there.

Let me ask you one question.

If your house is littered with garbage, are you buying another home or repairing an existing one?

In the Holy Scriptures, hymns and prayers praised the planet as a mother and praised other natural elements such as wind, fire, and water for her eternal ministry. This fact shows that our ancestors also respected nature and took only what was needed for survival.

However, what happened?

What caused the disagreement?

Why has this innocent relationship become so dangerous that people have brutally murdered the mother's environment?

The real definition of global climate change

Whether you are spiritual or not, you will accept it as a fact to me that people in the past were more spiritual than they are now. At that time, people believed in supernatural forces ruling the universe. Therefore, they sleep in unison because they are afraid of facing the wrath of the Almighty.

Although we consider our ancestors to be God-fearing individuals, we cannot deny the fact that there was a good balance between humans and nature at that time. People follow certain rules. They were honest people who were obliged to respect everyone, including nature.

Peace, purity, and generosity flourished in the minds of everyone. As a result, harmony between man and nature was maintained. But over time, advances in technology have poisoned people's minds. They began to consider themselves superior.

Materialism began to corrupt the minds of the people and caused them to act accordingly. Greed began to thrive. Everyone wanted to get more involved with it. instead of giving, the man began to think more deeply. with this confusing desire to see greatness above each other, people began to plunder each other's territory.

Soon, war broke out. People are fighting fierce battles where they kill one another like mosquitoes. Nature was also a victim of human greed. Deforestation became a common practice in the construction of large palaces by the river. Also, industrialization provided impetus and mechanisms for seizing the land profitably. The allocation of resource benefits and uncontrolled pollution eliminates environmental inequality.

I believe:

"The global climate change we are seeing is just one example of the evolution of the human mind." ~ Darshak Rana

Our Focus

Whenever we talk about global climate change, the main thing everyone talks about or advises:

Plant more trees.

Reduce the use of plastic.

Use extra green fuel.

Reduce pollution, blah..blah..blah!

But can we examine our own actions?

If we look at our lifestyle, we will know that we are doing something wrong, even if we follow the habits above.

Drive to the nearest grocery store instead of walking.

The elevator is rented even in the second house.

Buying electrical products unnecessarily.

Idling the car for a long time.

Yes, these are just a few practices that invite negative consequences. Don't we all know that "small droplets make only a strong sea?"

This is a blatant and blatant behavior that affects the climate. Let's not say what everyone knows or follows.

Let's talk in detail. Let's try to touch something that will indirectly reduce carbon emissions.

I. Eliminate the idea of ​​Nuclear Families

You might think I'm lost. But let me link the concept of relatives with global climate change.

Today we do not plant many trees. Of course. as we grow older, that is not enough to measure a map. there is even a study published on the BBC website that planting trees does not always help with global climate change. Saving the forest will do.

Surprisingly, reforestation and conservation of existing forests could eliminate three to 18 CO2 emissions per year, which is consistent with the study here. that is an important number.

But why can we keep a green lake on earth?

Because we are busy building homes.

Because we would like more shelter.

But why would we need more homes?

Why are we able to stretch our feet with a cloth?

The obvious answer is congestion. I say that's an excuse.

In the past, 10-20 people lived under one roof. Happily. They lived in a consonant, accepting and getting to know each other. But over time, our tolerance of people gradually diminished. Switch to small family plans. the number of interactions in one house is reduced from 10-20 to 6-7 min. Recently, we are so weak due to our condition that we cannot even accommodate our 1-2 people in one house.

There is a reason for global climate change.

Now that we have moved from a united family tradition to the perspective of relatives, the need for housing is increasing. Few people live in rural areas, the need for shelter is huge. to meet the demand, we disturb the forests.

Our self-esteem (which does not allow us to keep up with our family) and greed (which seeks to measure the time of the palace) has left only 31% of the green earth on this planet, according to the "Food And Agriculture Organization of us."

If we learn to appeal to the habit of living with our family and go along with living under one roof, we will play a difficult role in betting
