The term environment has been understood as the living space for all life forms spanning our immediate surroundings in particular and the vast space spanning the earth in general. However, the worsening scenario of environment in our immediate surroundings seems to have been bestowed concern in informed circles leaving the deteriorating state of environment in the latter case for debates in seminars, symposia and conferences for the knowledgeable flock to debate, coming out with their valued prescriptions on the rules of the environment game, including the do’s and dont’s, mostly noted, perfunctorily though, but not acted upon. The relentless moves by agencies of activists to create awareness among the masses about the value of environment protection and its role in wellness of environment itself and all life forms seems to be of no avail. The level of their ignorance about environment is so appalling that one is prompted to quote Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), the German Statesman who has said: “Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.”
Maybe, but for the ongoing climate change happening globally in general and more so in some regions particularly, seriously impacting agriculture, environment concerns would not have cropped up to the extent being witnessed lately. In any case, the air is abuzz with despair about threat to human life with virtually no hope of conditions supportive of life returning to the ideal.
