पर्यावरण जिस प्रकार निःस्वार्थ रूप से मनुष्य को एक स्वच्छ जीवन प्रदान करता है मनुष्य उसी प्रकार पूर्ण लालसा में आकर पर्यावरण और प्राकृतिक संसाधनों का अनावश्यक रूप से दोहन कर रहा है, जिसका जीवित उदाहरण बाबा अमरनाथ के शिवलिंग का पिघलना, नेपाल, बिहार,असम और चित्रकूट में बाढ़ का आना, वैश्विक ताप का इस प्रकार बढ़ना, ओजोन परत का छिद्र बढ़ जाना। यह सभी प्राकृतिक घटनाएं एक बार में नहीं घटी, बल्कि इनके घटने का कारण मानवों के द्वारा किए जा रहे अनावश्यक कृत्य है, देश की सरकार के साथ साथ एक मनुष्य होने के नाते हमारा भी फर्ज है की, हम भी अपने आस पास के पर्यावरण को स्वच्छ रखने की जिम्मेदारी उठाए, क्योंकि हमारी यह एक छोटी सी पहल पूरा समाज बदल सकती है, और समाज अगर जागरूक हो गया तो देश और विश्व भी पर्यावरण के महत्व के प्रति जागरूक हो जाएगा, और सतत् पोषणीय के राह पर चल पड़ेगा।
