The Death of a Planet Called Earth

It appears the friend in the picture tries to grab the sun  to eat or to take it to his home. Precisely we have to do that.             

Our Gandhiji   declared  that  the world has got enough  materials to satisfy the needs of everyone but not,  to satisfy the greed of even a single person. As we go on increasing the requirement of energy the earth is going to die of suffocation created by man. It would be funny but please see where and all we use this precious energy derived by burning the precious fossil fuels.

• Just to dry our hair we use driers.
  •  ( Some have only in countable numbers. A minute spared with a cotton towel or a pleasant sun bath would do.None of our  greatest emperors had this luxury!) 
• Just to cut the hair on our heads we use electrically operated gadgets     ( Our hairs are not 100 year old trees with 15 feet girth requiring saw machines)
• After closing all windows and doors we switch on fans and AC machines
• We need a Shoe Polishing Machine to make our shoes shine (What a pity!)
• None has the time to look at the stars and appreciate ; but we illuminate all our homes and buildings with lamps that blink when none is there at dead of night 
• Instead of arresting the population growth and migration to urban spaces we go on digging  tunnels and flyways or highways and compete with birds in flying.
• We use vehicles for even a distance of 200 feet.
• We look at our affordability of the energy costs, if not,  we try to earn more and pay but never think ; it is not the affordability of the consumer but the availability, ability of the earth to sustain  and avoid-ability of energy.
• More speed means more fuel. What have we achieved with more speed?
• Every train passenger or a flight passenger proceed to a restaurant only on arrival
• Speed thrills but kills this earth and at times men too.
• Instead of building  our homes that can keep us warm, we build houses in such a way that either we need a cooler or a room heater.
• Simply if we use an electric   lamp during the day time ignoring the sunlight...   there  will be no light at the end of the tunnel.
