MODERN LIVING
IS
THE CAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS?
Dictionary describes living as a style or way a person lives his life and modern living is a style of art, design or fashion that is different from the past. Human brain is the most creative & expressive of all living creatures because from nature we learnt to fly, swim etc., since time immemorial we have invented devices to make our life hassle free.
As has been well said ’Necessity is the mother of all invention' and human brain proved it time and again by giving smart solutions to very serious problems like cancer and poverty. Ultimately all these inventions are a kind of an answer to some or the other problem.
It is not modern living that is responsible for environment crisis but it is sometimes the way we implement various technologies that ends up harming our lives and environment at large.
Technically modern technology is only an extension improvement of all the old one. It is change that is permanent and so is true for technology. An obsolete technology is a burden for the society and the environment as well.
I agree with Feric Hoffer, when he says “Fair play is primarily not blaming others for anything that is wrong with us.” We commit a grave mistake by holding every other factor responsible for this crisis except humans. It is mishandling of different technologies and the greed of humans that has led to the present environment crisis. Today humans are biggest threat to mother earth because the earth has abundant resources to feed everyone without scarcity but very little to satisfy the greed of a few.
The laws associated with technologies, need to be framed and implemented seriously. It is only then that such a progress of human race can be made sustainable.
I sincerely believe that the solution to the present environment crisis lies not in blaming modern day living but in consciously thinking our habits and actions. It was technology that gave us the green revolution and now if to earn some extra profit, we give some extra dose of urea and fertilizers, then it becomes harmful to health. Similarly antibiotics were discovered to cure human diseases but out of greed doctors are prescribing which are harmful to health. People are over using the comforts of life, like phone, car, T.V. etc. and then blaming the modern lifestyle. It is ironical that people are badly affected by lifestyle mainly blood pressure and diabetes.
I believe it is more of smart balance of technology and ecology that can give us a happy and satisfied life otherwise who wants to go back to the Stone Age.
