COVID 19: NATURE’S CALL TO PANDEMIC AGE!

By Bibhuti Pati

April 22 will be a memorable day for the national Capital and maybe, the world, for it will be the cleanest Earth Day, since 1970. John McConnell, creator of Earth Day, might be grinning in paradise at last, because of the absence of harmful mists and fume trails. The expanded oxygen may have made the heavenly attendants somewhat euphoric as well. Be that as it may, enormous occasions aside, would we be able to preserve our planet? As we introspect, plainly the “triumph of nature” has got us to a slope of planetary fate as ecological debasement is the gravest risk to human life, second just to atomic war. It has intense geopolitical outcomes. Noam Chomsky as of late on Democracy Now said that India and Pakistan, may go to Nuclear-War over contracting water assets. Generally speaking the dish is cooked and the Earth can’t take more savagery. Pandemics and infections are remedial updates from nature, that the time has come to guide away from our environmentally damaging structure and reproduce another economy and another world.

How might we make another world? Do we disavow the material world and pick an actual existence without innovation? No. The Coronavirus gives us a chance to diminish careless utilization and rethink another worldview, where the air is solid and water bodies are perfect. To endure environmental change and annihilation, we have to embrace five standards: Reduce, Reuse, Regenerate, Swadeshi and Agro-biology. We need a solid “green economy” (non-contaminating, roundabout, inexhaustible based) to revamp India and the world. For the most part of this century, innovation has been utilized to annihilate the Earth, we need to connect the two at this point. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 should be based on a “green economy.” But where does this idea  begin? We start this excursion by bringing “Earth mindfulness” into our lives. The Earth is alive, she isn’t only soil, or water or mountains to be mined. We need to reconnect with our territory, mountains and waterways. We need to regard her.

When this cognizance fills us, the following stage is to decrease our engraving on this planet. Each activity or item we purchase/use affects this Earth. However the entirety of our parameters of achievement — huge houses, numerous vehicles, etc are biologically unbalanced. Decreasing water, non-renewable energy source and power utilization, isn’t just “keen” yet efficient as well. We have to get off the utilization temporary fad and petroleum product economy to find options. A basic method to decrease utilization is the reuse of things. One can begin by reusing gallons of RO outlet water for plants or washing dishes, or changing over old garments into covers. India is loaded up with imaginative thoughts of reuse and reusing things.

Disposing of two negative examples of utilization unquestionably signifies one major ecological positive. People are not owners of the world, yet in the expressions of the prestigious American progressive Aldo Leopold, unimportant “stewards of the land.” This land we have gotten from our progenitors, however is just acquired from our relatives. Also, carbon reduction, viewing activities with the atmosphere in mind as far as their carbon impression just isn’t the main action. We need to adopt the positive and all encompassing strategy of recovery versus a disengaged negative standpoint of carbon reduction. Our endeavours ought not to be to supplant the petroleum derivative economy with bio-powers, or low carbon tech, yet rethink the economy and our lives, with regenerative standards of creation.

Mahatma Gandhi did plot the answer for us. He called it Swadeshi economy. This is a framework which is pillared on independence, nobility and nearby co-activity, while having negligible or a positive effect on nature. This economy was a decentralized arrangement of creation, which shared surpluses and took from others what it couldn’t deliver. It is about time we acknowledge a Swadeshi 2.0 in India, helped by environmental advances. Before you purchase something ask yourself would I be able to supplant this, with something as great that is made locally or reasonably?

Presently for the last mainstay of this promise: Agro-nature. Modern nourishment frameworks including cattle and poultry ranches have devastated human well-being and lives. Ranchers suicides, malignant growth, dispossessions of little ranchers, misuse and wrongdoing in provincial networks all around the globe are unimportant manifestations of a crazy creation framework. Our streams are contaminated with manure and pesticides run-off and the shopping family is encountering plenty of infections and toxin build-up. The question is, is agro-environment suitable? Researcher ML Jat has demonstrated so. Agro-nature doesn’t just give more beneficial nourishment, yet the training diminishes synthetics and non-renewable energy sources in our nourishment framework. It has given eco-framework benefits by cleaning waters, sequestrating carbon, normalizing the nitrogen cycles and flavourful nourishment. So where would we be able to start? Start at your own home, grow a nursery with veggies or plant herbs like coriander in a pot, and yet go organic without synthetics. Connect with a rancher who can develop nourishment agro-naturally for you. The perfection of these standards is the establishment of a green economy. As the world has dropped into monetary obscurity, India needs to rise up out of the remains of a wrecked financial and modern framework to grasp it. On this Earth Day we have to set out on the way of science, strength and the Earth.

The Dalai Lama thought about the progressing worldwide battle against the Covid-19 pandemic with an “exercise in general duty” being instructed to individuals by the Mother Earth and worried upon the need to understand the significance of economical turn of events. “On this 50th commemoration of Earth Day, our planet is confronting perhaps the best test to the well-being and prosperity of its kin,” said the Dalai Lama, including: “But, amidst this battle, we are helped to remember the estimation of empathy and shared help.” “The current worldwide pandemic undermines all of us, without differentiations of race, culture or sexual orientation, and our reaction must be as one humankind, accommodating the most basic needs of all,” he said.

Drawing upon the Indian culture of regarding the whole world as one major family – the Vasudahiav Kutumbkam, the Dalai Lama stated, “In any case, we have been conceived on this planet as a component of one extraordinary family.” “Rich or poor, taught or uneducated, having a place within the  same country, at last every one of us is only an individual like every other person,” he said. “Moreover, we as a whole have a similar option to seek after joy and abstain from misery. At the point when we perceive that all creatures are equivalent in this regard, we naturally feel compassion and closeness towards others,” he said. “Also, out of this comes a veritable feeling of all inclusive obligation: the desire to effectively help other people conquer their issues,” said the Dalai Lama, including: “Our mom earth is showing us a thing or two in widespread duty.” “This blue planet is a great living space. Its life is our life; its future, our future. Surely, the earth demonstrations like a mother to every one of us; as her kids, we are subject to her,” he stated, including “despite the worldwide issues we are experiencing it is significant that we should all cooperate.

Worrying upon the need to understand the criticality of supportable turn of events, he stated, “I came to welcome the significance of ecological concern simply in the wake of getting away from Tibet in 1959, where we constantly believed the earth to be unadulterated.” “At whatever point we saw a flood of water, for example, there was no stress over whether it was protected to drink. Tragically, the simple accessibility of clean drinking water is a significant issue all through the present reality,” he brought up. “We should guarantee that the wiped out and the valiant social insurance suppliers all through the world approach the principal necessities of clean water and legitimate sanitation to forestall the uncontrolled spread of malady. Cleanliness is one of the bases of successful human services,” he included. “Supportable access to appropriately prepared and staffed medicinal services offices will assist us with meeting the difficulties of the present pandemic that attacks our planet,” he said.

Dalia Lama considered this to be a worldwide difficulty with a chance. “It will likewise offer perhaps the most grounded protection against future general well-being emergencies. I comprehend that these are correctly the destinations gone ahead in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that address difficulties to worldwide well-being,” he said. “As we face this emergency together, it is basic that we show demonstration in a feeling of solidarity and collaboration so as to accommodate the squeezing needs, especially of our less fortunate siblings, brothers and sisters around the globe,” he said. “I trust and implore that in the not so distant future, every one of us will do everything we can to make a more joyful and more beneficial world,” he included.
