save the planet, appealed environment activists

To save the human beings from its existence, we need a boundary-less and arm-less society in the world. We can not save the world if the on going devastation of nature is continued further in the name of development. We need an agenda where we can stop all such things which is dangerous for the environment as if a part of the world is polluted it affects the whole environment. We can not survive one country by destroying the environment of other country.

This was opined by the environment activists of Rajasthan and Jammu while addressing a gathering in Sambalpur on Saturday in a symposium organized by ‘Anwesha’, a social organization to create awareness among the people on the climate change.

Speaking on the topic ‘Climatic change: challenge of the hour’, the social activist of Rajasthan, Sajjan Kumar said the survival of the human being is solely depend on the food, water and air. ‘If we pollute our water, air and environment in the name of industrial and fiscal development, than day is not far when we do not have these things as money would not able to provide these things’, Sajjan Kumar warned.

From the present situation of various developed countries it has been proved that both capitalism and socialism are not become old concept as these two isms do not have capacity to survive the living society from the earth. “So we need another concept which protects our existence. We need a globalization concept but not a market based globalization but a social based globalization”, Sajjan Kumar told.

The call of the hour is to save the planet. So each government should stop spending on the defense of the respective country. ‘If we divert the money budgeted for defense expenditure to work for the strengthening the environment, than one would be surprised to get a hunger-free and polluted-free society’, he added.

The programme was coordinated by the convener of Anwesha Saroj Mohanty who appealed every one to join hands to save the environment by supporting the agitations of the people going on various places against devastation of the environment. The environmentalist of Jammu Roopchand criticized the policy of the developed countries to shift all polluted industries to the developing countries.
