The caring of the earth means to conserve all the physical and biological aspects of the earth in its natural condition. Its aim is to provide an opportunity to continue the life of all the living beings. In order to implement the strategy of the world conservation effectively, for the care of earth and for the initiation of sustainable way of development; an action-plan was formulated in 1980 AD. This document explains the policies of the world natural heritage and sustainable development. Based on the guidelines action, programmes on be designed and implemented for the caring earth. The World conservation Strategy motivates and encourages all to take care of the earth. The programme for conservation of the earth should be conducted at local and national levels. A document containing the strategy for caring the earth was published by the joint effort of IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Wildlife Fund(WWF). Different nations, international agencies, non-government organizations have supported and agreed to implement the strategy of caring for earth. Their conservation strategy stresses the various efforts to be made for the conservation of the environment and implement of the quality of the environment. Some of them are biodiversity conservation, application of sustainable development principles, natural resources conservation and so on. Along with these conservation activities the programmes should be conducted for the rehabilitation of the living standard of the people. The caring for earth has stated policies and different programmes for the conservation of the earth. The developmental activities should be intergraded with the conservational programmes to take of the earth. The development activities should include conservation programmes. These programmes will help to take care of the earth. The objective of developmental activities should be the improvement of human beings. But they should not emerge the environmental problems. The developmental activities should contribute the improvement of human life. There should be no destruction of natural resources in the name of the fulfillment of the basic needs. Economic justice in the society helps in the conservation of environment by reducing exploitation of natural resources. Therefore, income generating programmes and trainings should be conducted at local and national level. The gap between the rich and poor should be lowest in income and life style. Conducting development and income generating programmes at local and national levels can reduce the existing gap to some extend. It will make human life sustainable.
The rich countries should reduce their consumption pattern of the resources. Especially, the use of the non-renewable resources such as fossil fuel, natural gas, minerals should be drastically decreased. Alternative programmed will donate for the reduction of non-renewable resources. The renewable resources should be produces adequately to meet the need growing population. It helps in conservation of non-renewable resources. The rich countries should provide financial and technical support to the poor countries for pollution control and improvement of the quality of the environment. The people should understand that the carrying capacity of the earth is limited. It takes time to regenerate such resources in nature. Thus, their development activities should be within the limit of the carrying capacity of the earth.
Here are some. Be warned, these are all about changing one's lifestyle and behaving responsibly:
1. Recycle, and segregate your waste before recycling
2. Switch off lights/fans/AC/computer when not in use. Even the red indicator should not glow.
3. Use natural fabrics and recyclable materials. When selecting gift items or decorations, go for jute/paper/cotton/silk/glass/aluminium etc.
4. Walk/cycle to places. Use more public transport.
5. Take a bath rather than using a shower.
6. When buying books, look for the FSC (Forest Certification) sign on the preliminary pages with the publishing details. This says that the paper used has been compliant with forestry needs. Also, avoid books with glossy pages since they take more chemicals to print.
7. If you can, buy locally grown vegetables and fruits. This reduces transport miles, therefore should be cheaper, fresher, and more eco-friendly.
8. Cut down on meat consumption. Meat uses up more natural resources.
9. When buying furniture, do not go for wood. Try wrought iron, cane, aluminium furniture.
10. Dispose responsibly. Instead of just dumping everything in the trash can, see if anything is salvageable. You can donate your old clothes and shoes, put leftover food out for street dogs and cats, cut out trinkets from old cards/diaries/boxes and reuse them to personalize your bag/desk/wardrobe.
Earth's most of the land parts was initially green. But today we have unfortunately made it more concrete and plastic. To care our earth naturally we should try to make parts of earth green wherever possible. We should try to use less possible energy and live a clean and healthy lifestyle. We should always make our surroundings clean.
We should spread the message of caring earth naturally to every possible people wherever and whenever possible.
Green light bulbs and recycle :)
alternative use of fossil fuel. No use of CFCs gas. use of solar energy. plantation etc
please tell the ways
