    In spite of so many atrocities for years and years against her, still mother earth is providential to us. But no more we can take that for granted. We have to stop exploiting mother earth. Instead we should repay our debt. Little more concern from each and every one of us can recreate the fertility of mother earth and that will protect human generation for many more years.
    We should stop all that which pollute our environment. If I don't take care of mother earth who else is there to take care of her. My pleasures, my festivals, my celebrations, my profits so on and so forth were only my concerns and all these blinded my sight in seeing what harm I caused for mother earth. Let me take an about turn and stop all those atrocities without which I can be much more happy and healthy. Thank you and God bless each and every one of us.
