Global warming is a cause for concern. Mother nature has created green house gases to keep our environment warm enough to sustain life. Any good thing beyond a limit becomes destructive which is what happening exactly with green house gases namely methane, carbon dioxide, etc with its increased concentration in the environment. The use of responsible culprits- use of petroleum automobiles, CFC, charcoal production, etc is increasing day by day. We have created a big hole on our nature’s umbrella- OZONE LAYER, which is meant to protect us from harmful radiations of sun ray. We have ourselves destructed our protection ceiling of earth to an extent that we have almost rendered its functionally paralysed. This could be a major reason of skin cancers in near future, if no preventive action is taken .Scientists are assuming people living on or near polar Regions could be more susceptible to increased ultraviolet rays level. Increase in green house gases will also lead to increase in temperature to an extent that it will melt all icecaps globally. This will lead to increase in water level and will submerge all nearby lands. Everyone can play their role as a responsible inhabitant on earth. It’s high time when we should start taking initiatives. There is a well saying “charity begins at home”, time has come when we can reconsider this quote. Everyone can contribute for this noble cause in their own way, after all small small drops of water has made an ocean. Planting trees and plants in our surroundings will not only give an aesthetic touch, cooler environment but also help in reducing green house gas carbon dioxide from the surrounding. One can always go to offices and nearby places by walking or cycling, if its not that far or can go by public transports, instead of using their own petroleum run vehicles which release poisonous gases. Walking or cycling is one of best physical exercises known. In Japan, it’s a trend to go cycling. For teenagers trendy sports cycles can be good option. Using CFC free refrigerators, shaving foams is a trend for the generation – let’s go with it and save our planet. These are to start with few things and to make “Go green, keep the environment clean” a fashion statement for today.
