Greta Thunberg the great!

Greta Thunberg the Great! Since last week this young girl has taken us all by surprise. Many of us know now about her efforts draw to help save environment. According to her, all the adults have so far ignored the on going macabre destruction of environment and now, children of the word are facing dire consequences. Very true. We elders, common people and the leaders from various countries have not created such great impactful movement to start a crusade for the environment. She reminds us, that it is not the job of kids like her. She says further that she should be in school, studying and playing. But unfortunately, she is addressing masses and travelling across the world to wake up the influencial people to work against climate change. Asks a 16 year old Swidish girl, why leaders have ignored the decaying of environment? The climate change?Her country is supporting her crusaide.They are broadminded enough to encourage a young girl to take a centre stage. Greta the great, dear, you are asking a valid question. The answer to your question lies in the fact that the leader of various countries have not fallen from the skies. They have risen from the masses. So they are as ordinary as the masses. Only if the leaders are afraid of people, they will do many meaningful jobs. They take people for granted. There is no demand from the people either for a better environment. A few are holding the torch. That is not spreading enough light. There is not much pressure from the public in this regard. Learder have to keep up to the expectations of the people. We have never demanded unitedly a clean environment. Instead we have contributed to further deterioration. Most of the common people are busy meeting other needs of life and are fulfilling different goals. Environmental issues are sacrificed meanwhile. Let everyone of us light a candle and see the path for ourselves. Let us save the environment, by starting the work right from our homes. Let us not throw garbage in the open. Let us not mix all sort of trash in one basket. Let us not in India immerse idols during Ganesh festival and Durga festivals. Every damage we do to the environment is slapped back at us. The common and the uncommen man both are suffering due to climate changes. We want to get away with the trash somehow that we create .We want to run vehicles that are vomiting pollution. We want to fulfill our religious sentiments at the cost of cleanliness. We are throwing garbage in the sea and the sea is tossing it all at us again. How much the leaders will teach the masses? The common people should be wary of dirt around them. Leaders will be afraid to lead nations where, there is an increased level of awareness among people in all matters; where there are responsible nationals who can scrutinise the policies of the leaders. But unfortunately we the people, are very timid and selfish too. We are least bothered about environmental goals. This is a very sad story, that we are set to destroy our own home. Greata Thunberg, I again thank you for the efforts that you have taken to awaken the half asleep word regarding environmental pollution.I admire your nation and salute people of your contry because they have acknowledged your effors. They did not ignore you and reprimand you for what you are doing. You told" no school on every Fridy;" and the school did not object to it. You could travel in a zero pollution boat to send across your message. All this is very laudable.Your mother does not care that she may not air travel to give her music programmes. Your school has not stopped you. Many children could join you dear.You have already delivered many speeches about the need for better climate change, and you are selling them. The money will be used for some similar cause.How many children have the freedom to do this? It is very heartening. Your supporters,the schoolmates have very early learnt the practical lessons of planning better strategies for a better future environment. Salute to you all. If you were in front of me, I would have hugged you. I am really very proud of you, that a girl of your age has sounded such strong message. And that message is reaching all the corners of the world. My heart is filled with motherly love for you. Let many girls and boys of your age believe in what you have said. Let them participate at their level in the movement to save the environment. Since the older generation has failed to preserve the purity of our earth, let the new generation give a lesson to moms and dads. It is a different question off course that many children of your age may not be allowed to do what you are doing. Such endeavours on part of youngsters may not see the light of the day in all corners of the world. We are too dictatorial a society to allow children to take a lead. Yet It is high time that we all wake up and consider changing the way of life. Let us stop dirtying the earth. Let us use recyclable plastic, since banning plastic has its own side effects. If we do not wake up now, we the people of this earth may face dire consequences. Mankind may leave every other program and focus on cleaning garbage. At the top of all other priorities, there will be the garbage cleaning task bothering us all, at all the times.. Now we are dirtying the water bodies, the oceans. In future we will start targetting the universe. A scientist once told me, that the problems of man made trash may reach such levels that the space agencies will start focusing singularly on programmes for collecting garbage to throw in the space. Shuttles will be built specially for this purpose. Anything that enters the space, keeps travelling to grate distances. It does not come back. This ball of garbage released in to the outer space, will travel and travel and travel, deep inside the universe .It can go forward in some other galaxy. Some intelligent aliens will find it and will try to know about its source. This is how they will discover about earth. What message it will leave? Let such a day not see the light of the day.So let people understand the gravity of the issues that you have taken up little girl. Salute to you Greta.
