Sustainable Development Thoughts – Lockdown Period

Sustainable Development Thoughts – Lockdown Period

With so much negativity and sad news outside, I managed to introspect our lives and found some positive actions too.

When I pondered over the impact which we humans have been having on the Earth, I realized the importance of taking some action against the same.

The thought of maintaining the nature and environment as it originally was, has struck my mind and have realized the importance of Sustainable development and growth of the mankind.

The action towards the sustainable development, saving environment, etc., is not something which has to be done only by the environmentalists or the social groups. It is possible to do even by an individual, by simply taking the initiatives at their respective homes.

If each individual on this planet, decides to work towards sustainable development simply only for their families and homes, it will help the entire world for the objective of a cleaner, better and a healthier environment.

This lockdown period is all about the self-realization and the actions that can be taken individually starting from our homes for the sustainable development

Coming back to my self-realization, the current phase of the lock-down has given me the time to think for such activities and ideas where my family and myself can act accordingly and take necessary steps for Sustainable Development.

There is an activity which we have been undertaking for around 10 years now, of Composting our Kitchen Waste. This initiative was started by my father, Pankaj Khandelwal, a Chemical Engineer, wherein he had decided that there will be Zero kitchen waste disposed from our House. And we have bene proudly following and continuing this activity and feel happy to even promote to the people so that there is a defined process to reduce waste. Apart from the satisfaction of Zero Waste disposed, there is another important benefit of the compost which is created i.e. it serves a great organic home-made fertilizer for our plants at home.

Initially we faced certain issues and inconvenience, but then, gradually we understood the right method for the composting process and since then it has been a simple task and a routine to follow for us by simply converting the waste into a valuable product i.e., compost, as and when its generated.

Therefore, I feel it is very important every house / society should start with this initiative in order to reduce down the waste disposed from their end.

Need for Sustainable Growth & Development

Need for Sustainable Growth & Development

The world has come to a standstill and the humans are facing tough challenges due to the ongoing epidemic of a virus outbreak.

The speed at which Humans have been moving ahead in the name of development and progress has put the entire globe at degradation in terms of environment, ecosystem, etc.

A simple virus creating an outbreak in the entire world should be taken as an indication and a lesson. It is an indication that what a single issue can bring the whole world to a standstill.

Now, imagine what disaster can human created problems such as Climate change, Global warming, etc., cause to us on a much larger scale than this.

Incidences such as air quality improving, wildlife roaming on streets, birds moving freely, etc., is a sign that we had been interfering with nature at extreme levels and is important to give the Earth back what it truly deserves. 

Another sign of change is the happiness in humans who have been resting from the fast race of competition, which shows the need of slowing down its hunger for moving ahead and sustain this happiness for a long term.

Activities undertaken for the so called Development such as, Cutting down trees, causing air and water pollution on a larger scale, killing wildlife, changing crop growing systems and many other such activities, will cause a much more deadlier situation for the human mankind to deal with and will take us down quickly.

To avoid such situation in near future, it is still not late to realize the importance of Sustainable Development. 

I agree that, in order to evolve and become better, it is necessary to develop. But is important and high time that we not just Develop but Develop Sustainably.

Leaving the nature to run on its own, is the need of the hour action that has to be undertaken to  maintain the stability and balance,for every living being on this planet to live happily.

So let us all decide and start our Journey towards Sustainable Development in order to have a Healthy and a Happy life in future.
