The environment in which we breathe and live is very precious to us. However, degradation of the environment is becoming increasingly common every where. The need of the hour is to heal the wounds of the scars of the earth already caused due to human interventions into nature or we will perish sooner or later. A good environment is pollution free, clean, green and appears fresh.
Most of us are aware of the fact that the damage to the earth in various forms is enormous. The consequences of the degradation of the environment are seen every day in the form of changing weather patterns, melting glaciers, unusual floods, depleting species, early flowering of trees, etc. The problems are not only relevant to the current generation but also impose a burden on the future generations.
This book is about forming eco-friendly habits without sacrificing much time or space. Most of tips given in the book won’t take more than a few minutes to read. Think of your contribution to save the environment and live happily. In fact we can begin with saying ‘Act Locally and Think Globally’.
The book endeavours to develop a deeper concern for the environment and build a sense of commitment and responsibility to take proactive measures. Each chapter of the book is well organized with a brief introduction, followed by “Did You Know?” “Harmful Impacts” and “What is the Solution”?
The book will capture the attention of nature lovers, students and teaching communities particularly, and all people concerned directly or indirectly with environmental issues. Readers suggestions to enhance and build on subject matter are welcome and could be incorporated in future editions with due credit.” ISBN - 9788189640866
