essay on our Environment

 
Environment means the surroundings. Land, water, air, plants, animals, solid wastes and other things that are surrounding us constitute our environment. Man and environment are closely intertwined with each other, to maintain a balance or equilibrium in nature.
 
On the outset, let us analyse what all environment includes. All that is around us is called and included in the term environment. This environment affects us physically, mentally, and even spiritually. There is so much contradiction in discussions and decisions and ground realities that, the talk and net result are poles apart.
 
Different groups of people working in different areas express it in various ways. When physical scientists talk about environment they generally refer to the physical environment that comprises the three inter locking systems the Atmosphere, the Hydrosphere and the Lithosphere.
 
Biologists often refer to biological environment consisting of all living organisms of the Biosphere. Similarly social scientists refer to the social, cultural, economic and organizational environment.
 
We keep on shouting from housetops platforms about keeping our environment clean but, when it comes to contributing to the cleanliness of the same, all us, yes, all of us contribute to the polluting of the environment.
 
We are here again not clear about what environment should mean. Environment is not only our home, but all that surrounds the home. So, if we dirty the road or the neighbor’s portico, we are dirtying the environment.
 
From the home, let us shift our focus on the outside of the home. Let us take a round of any market place and the common scene will be huge piles of rubbish smelling kitchen waste and paper and polythene bags flying all over. With this surrounding we can hardly claim to even deserve talking of cleanliness in the environment.
 
This only shows without a doubt that we keep contributing to dirtying the environment and just talking about the cleaning of the environment. Let us understand that, only talking about a thing will not serve any purpose, we have to work towards the goal. We have all to be conscious all the time about our responsibilities of keeping the environment clean.
 
It is not that no work is being done in this sphere but, it mostly goes waste as, all of us are not conscious of our duties and responsibilities in the matter. We keep contributing to the dirt, and talking all the while about cleaning the environment.
 
Thus, man is firmly placed as an important part of the global ecosystem, which depends on him much as he depends on it. Hence, there is a close relationship between man and environment.
