Sustainable Living

Life is nature’s gift to mankind in our galaxy where ‘Our Earth’ is the only planet where life exists. The effort made by scientists to find out life on nearby planets is futile at this point. Are we got bugged off our beautiful planet EARTH? Or we have come to the conclusion that we cannot create a sustainable living on the earth? The dream of shifting ourselves to another planet is definitely arduous. Ultimately living within earth’s limit is the best option available at this point.

Resource allocation is huge responsibility. The gap between the poor and rich is increasing day by day. The governance and administration need to re-look their standards through the perspective of basic needs of the life. The harmonization of basic needs of life and standards of governance and administration should bring a positive change. The critical resources like water, electricity, and clean air have been a challenge since decades. Industrialization and technology with radiations is a sword with two very sharp edges, which is cutting these critical resources, to make unaffordable for common man. The resistance of the governance and administration to take appropriate actions and legislation over the use of these critical resources is avoidable challenge.

We all and concerned educated groups should seriously start working on educating all human species about utilizing the critical resources. Lack of stringent monitoring on utilization of the critical resources is popularly discussed and religiously neglected. Solutions are suggested, but lack of action on these vital suggestions will create the biggest threat, “elimination of life from the earth”.

Lack of definition of simple living and lack of control over manufacturing and production is another big challenge. The availability of the products which are defined as simple and have least impact on the critical resources to each and every piece of life is responsibility of each national body. The research and development of such simple products should be promoted and adequate environment should be created to enable manufacturing of such simple products.

We all love nature and it seems that nature allows us to take disadvantage of available resources. Sometimes I dream if nature would speak up and whether it would respect us? We never think what we are doing with nature? We would have been extinguished from this beautiful planet if nature has capabilities to do so.

If we consider this is the project, we might require millions of project managers and we have millions who do not have jobs. To train these all the millions of project managers, we require billions of trainers and we have billions of invested on unsafe projects. To train these trainers, we require trillions of schools and colleges and we have trillions of kids not going to school. We're lucky, nature is not monitoring our activities on the scale of good or bad.

The reproduction is one of the basic needs and requirement of the life and with this authority and capability one great responsibility follows, "we should ensure our future generation should equally able to enjoy this beautiful planet ‘Earth’." This generation is busy in damaging their DNA by using an inadvertent technology and neglecting vital healthy lifestyle which accommodates good sleep, good food, and good health. 


Overall, we are heading towards a big accident, elimination of life from the earth. At this point I strongly feel that it has become irreversible now. The maximum we can do is to try sustaining some more time to accommodate a few more generations which can enjoy this beautiful planet.
