Pollution is a global crisis. It is not an isolated occurrence, but affects every person on Earth. We must take care of the world in which we live!
"In an era when a chemical spill can kill thousands, when wastes buried 20 years earlier can contaminate community water supplies, when our environmental ignorance can plant the seeds for later diseases, environmentalists and industrialists cannot continue to draw false battle lines."-Jay Hair
Who will come forward to save nature? Environmental Degradation leads to many sea changes in the societies. Deforestation, pollution, lack of safe water and sanitation problems harnessing our healthy lives. Flora and fauna are the worst affected entities of nature. Thus, we need to save nature to save ourselves. Remember, nature now is in danger..!
"I do wonder whether there will come a time when we can no longer afford our wastefulness - chemical wastes in rivers, metal wastes everywhere, and atomic wastes buried deep in the earth or sunk in the sea."-John Steinbeck
QURANIC AYAH
"Do no mischief on the earth after it has been set in order"(Al-A’raf:56)
Quranic ayah
In the Islamic Holy Qur’an, we are warned of the disastrous effect of destroying ecosystems: "The example of the life of this world is like this: The water We (God) poured from the heavens caused the vegetation to grow upon the earth as food for people and animals, until the earth became full of decorations and began to look beautiful, and the people upon it thought they were its masters. Our command reaches it by day and by night. And We made it like a harvest, clean mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before!" (Yunus: 24)
START RECYCLING!
Pollution prevention is reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production, the use of less-toxic substances, better conservation techniques, and re-use of materials. So, start recycling!

LET ME LIVE
ROSE
TO THE LAKE bY Edgar Allan Poe
In Spring of youth it was my lot . To haunt of the wide world a spot . The which I could not love the less -So lovely was the loneliness . Of a wild lake, with black rock bound. And the tall pines that towered around. But when the night had thrown her pall . Upon that spot, as upon all. And the mystic wind went by . Murmuring in melody -Then - ah, then, I would awake .To the terror of the lone lake .Yet that terror was not fright .But a tremulous delight - A feeling not the jewelled mine . Could teach or bribe me to define - Nor Love - although the love were thine . Death was in that poisonous wave .And in its gulf a fitting grave .For him who thence could solace bring. To his lone imagining - Whose solitary soul could make .
An Eden of that dim lake.
THE DUSK OF SNOW
The way a crow . Shook down on me . The dust of snow . From a hemlock tree . Has given my heart . A change of mood . And saved some part . Of a day I had rued.
Quotation
"The most alarming of all man's assaults upon the environment is the contamination of air, earth, rivers, and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials. This pollution is for the most part irrecoverable; the chain of evil it initiates not only in the world that must support life but in living tissues is for the most part irreversible. In this now universal contamination of the environment, chemicals are the sinister and little-recognized partners of radiation in changing the very nature of the world -- the very nature of its life. "--Rachel Carson 1962
