The rapidly changing modern life has made the mankind dependent
on fulfilment of various needs. The human greed has expanded to the
extent that it fails to distinguish between the essential and
non-essential requirements. In today's time most of the
individuals have multifaceted requirements at the cost of nature
due to uncontrolled and unwarranted usage of natural resources.
Pollution a menace
The reckless and careless usage of non-renewable sources of
energy has resulted in elevated levels of pollution in the
ecosystem. There has been inadequate disposal of remnants of energy
resources used for purposes of industrial usage, vehicular needs,
crop destruction, construction activities, burning of garbage,
thermal energy, etc. Adding to the contamination of the environment
are the man-made pollutants as plastic, chemicals, firecrackers,
electric/ electronic equipment, radioactive/ nuclear wastes,
etc.
