Human Ambition and Environment Day in 2024 A week ago, someone called me. The request was, ‘No, sir, come to our program and talk a little about the environment!’
I laughed and replied, ‘One is not a matter of my concern, the other—what to say! As much as I will say today or tomorrow, people have come to know about social media.
Anyway, your speaking will have more effect, sir!’ If that is the case, I will speak and write something because the general thing is correct; even if I find two or four things, I have to share in this celebration! Give me two or three days to update. We seem to be born to talk or write more and work less. At least I am a science student!
He sent a loud laugh in response from there. Then the title of Furey is ‘Human Ambition and Environment Day.’
Perhaps the weakness of the human race is this ‘what to do when what to look for’ whenever the day comes. Our preparations intensify, our activity increases, but in the meantime, we always fail in the duties to be done, the awareness to be adopted, and the role to be played. In any case, once a year, people should be reminded of this topic. Otherwise, there is a fear that even the plastic on the toll market, which has been reduced after harvesting last year, will not be harvested. And even though the ritual is correct, we should not forget that this day is also a day to unite with people around the world and resolve to protect the environment for present and future generations.
Seta Himal has been forced to change its name to black. 20 such dangerous lakes in Nepal can burst at any time. Raithana is a rare and endangered species of fauna and flora that has been subject to extinction due to attempts and unsuccessful attempts to adapt its habitat.
Chemicals and pesticides are degrading the soil. Cancer wants to be a guest in our homes. We are becoming victims of more diseases and disasters. Plastic waste created by the unplanned and unscientific use of plastic polymers has become another major environmental challenge of the present time.
On this occasion, all of us should take a pledge to keep the environment around our homes clean, make the ecological relationship of forests, water, plants, agriculture, and animals life-oriented, and make meaningful the right to live in a clean environment provided by the Constitution of Nepal. How could the day be celebrated if this was not done?
The Dorje development, which was done by ignoring foreign conservation practices and even local technology without looking for an alternative, is a reliable example of this.
Our houses have become hot ovens of bricks, cement, iron, and aluminum, and our wood, which stores carbon and provides cooling, is rotting in the forest (according to reports, decaying wood emits about eleven gigatons of carbon every year, if you look at the world’s statistics). It seems that the topic of wood utilization in Nepal should now become the subject of ruthless review.
Finally, the Ministry of Forestry and Environment and all agencies involved in the intensive care of environmental protection and promotion, other infrastructure development ministries, state and local agencies, security agencies, and development partner organizations all have an equally important role in environmental protection awareness and development. I wish everyone a meaningful role, interest, and awareness on this year’s Environment Day.
