In spite of efforts made by different quarters, environmental awareness among the people is India is much less than satisfactory. They are seen dumping garbage on the road, sweeping plastic pouches and bags into the drains, urinating and defecating in open, making unnecessarily high decibel noise etc. The list will be lengthy if we enumerate them all. No wonder, every year so many people die of diseases caused by polluted environment.
The environmental awareness in India is pathetic...This should be taught by parents and teachers right from childhood. We see people have total disregard for nature as they abuse it in every way possible...I remember an incident - while travelling by bus we stopped for some refreshments at a small very pretty scenic place in the western ghats. Few children who were on the bus began running around plucking leaves, breaking twigs and throwing it on each other and generally being very unruly and when I told them not to do so, the mother intervened and said there is so much of greenery around and their plucking a few doesnt really matter .. This coming from an educated lady and family ! I guess the villagers and uneducated people may be better in that respect because they are dependent on nature for their livelihood.
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
