The environment comprises al the physical
social and cultural factors and conditions
influencing the existence or the development of
an
organism.
Due
to
indiscriminate
industrialization, man has created a state of
decadence. He has continuously tampered with
nature which has resulted in the threat to the
sustenance of mankind. Although, attempts
have been made to restore nature to its
previous state of purity and serenity, the efforts
have not been whole-hearted.
Earth is the home we all share and would pass
on to our future generations as their legacy. But
if they inherit the present state of the world,
they would be unable to sustain themselves.
Man has steadily improved the technologies and
other means necessary for higher production of
wealth and for the availability of devices that
could give more physical and mental pleasures.
The industrial revolution led to a drastic
escalation of earth’s surface temperature. Man
exploited nature for his benefits, without any
foresight as to what the implications of his
actions
would
be.
Indiscriminate
industrialization resulted in urban migration as
the rural poor settled in cities in search of
opportunities. Cities, already facing a population
crisis could not accommodate the migrants and
this led to the development of slums. This has
resulted in increased pressure on the available
resources and further degradation of the
environment.
