Preaching about ecology is easy, but difficult to practice. Everybody is in favor of it but nobody is prepared to do anything about it This is a fact that people do not co-operate and show unwillingness in this direction. Many persons, like Jim, undertake the work of ecology but nobody comes forward to join hands in such a mission. One can start this job from his own house. He must keep his surroundings clean and free from pollution. But nobody does it. In my locality, there is a heap of garbage and filth scattered throughout the road. Street dogs are found loitering and playing with the wastes spreading it in the street. Polythene bags and packets are found everywhere. Nobody cares about that. There is a proverb, “Example is better than precept”. People talk a lot against it but do nothing to remove this evil. Thus, I agree that nobody is willing to do anything about ecology.
“But anyhow, on Saturday when I collect, I put in good work on ecology.” This is the narrator’s way of preserving ecology. How are you contributing to ecological preservation in your surroundings?
Answer:
In my locality, people are not conscious of preserving ecology. There is a bulk of garbage and waste scattered throughout the surrounding. Polythene bags and plastic packets are found floating on the road. I do not like such things because they generate pollution. I want to work for the preservation of ecology because I know its importance.
1 used to work hard for making the environment free from pollution. As such I have taken up the following steps
- I go to the people of my locality to make them conscious to save ecology.
- I also tell them not to pollute water and the environment by their dirty habits.
- every Sunday 1 undertake the work of cleaning my surroundings.
- To achieve my objective I make the drains clean and clear the water logging throughout my locality.
- I ani working towards growing plants on both sides of the road.
Several other measures are also taken for the welfare of the people and the preservation of ecology
Jim, a young boy has undertaken the work of going around and telling people to save ecology. He visits the house of Ms. Greene in connection with the fulfillment of his mission. Seeing him she immediately questions, “Why does he throw- gum wrappers on her Lawn”. She further directs him to pick up those wrappers and put it in one of the plastic bags kept on the lawn for the very purpose. She accuses him also to get his dog untied, causing damage to her garden. Meanwhile, he sees that she is piling newspapers beside her garbage bags. He advises her to save those papers and also aluminum cans, so that new paper and aluminum. could be made. She does not seem to be satisfied with his suggestion. Jim gets tired of trying to get Ms. Greene to do something about ecology. So he immediately left her house. It shows the reluctancy of Ms. Greene in abiding by the rules of ecology preservation. Their conversations come to an end with no result. The outcome of the meeting is the example of how people do not attach importance to ecology preservation, as Ms. Greene does.
Really, to get people ready to work for ecology is hard. Preaching about ecology is easy but difficult to abide by the rules of ecology preservation. Ecology means keeping the environment pollution-free. It is possible only. When the surrounding is free from darkness and pollution of land, water, and air. Ecology is a branch of biology that deals with the habits of living-being and relationship between the environment and the living things, I have taken up the work to save ecology in my neighborhood on Sundays or whenever I get time. I go to the people o make them conscious of preserving geology. The Headmaster of my school takes a keen interest in the preservation of ecology. There is an arrangement of environmental studies in school. The surroundings of the school are kept clean. The classrooms, the toilets, the garden and other places of the school building are kept free from dirt. The school peons and the gardener take much care towards cleanliness and do not allow garbages and -wastes in the school premises and its surroundings
Women have to discharge their responsibilities for their household affairs. Their role is just like the captain and the players of a team. They have varieties of work to perform. In course of discharging their duties, they have to take the help of several electrical tools and appliances, such as the electric mixer, the grinder, the washing machine, electric iron, the toaster, tailoring (sewing) machine, fruit juicer, electric heater, electric oven, refrigerator, etc. As the narrator observes his mother using the electric mixer, It prompts him to say so. Modem appliances affect ecology in many ways. Their function generates air, water, and soil pollution. The polluted water and the wastes come out from the washeries of factories and mills roll down to the river, forming water and soil pollution. The smoke and dust coming from the chimneys and other sources of the heavy plant, small factories and even from the residential houses pollute the environment.
Jim is well aware of the fact that his advice is being questioned, never he goes to meet people and narrates them the importance of serving ecology they do not respond properly. The reason behind their such an attitude is their negligence towards saving ecology. They do not like to work in this direction, because they do not attach any importance for preserving the environment. When he suggests something relating to it, they themselves immediately put some questions to him. It is but the human nature-that when they do not agree with other’s advice, they will find out some mistakes in it. So, they make prevention and create confusion. Therefore Jim very well understands why his advice is being questioned.
Mr. Johnson referred to the destruction of a tree by Jim. He accuses Jim of this. According to him jumping over the tree every day, making a short cut path through Ms. Greene’s house had resulted in its ruin. The tree does not exist now owing to its premature death.
Jim is a real ecology friendly boy. He is quite aware of all the aspects of saving ecology. He has undertaken the work of preserving the environment. His ecology friendly attitude is admirable. He always practices all possible ecology measures. He talks about the importance of preserving the environment with the people, He does not get proper co-operation and assistance from the people in his work. But he is not disheartened and continues to go ahead on his mission. He also collects the dirty garbage and other wastes from certain places and carries them to the places specially made for the purpose. Though he finds it difficult to get people to work for ecology, it does not stop his work and fulfill his objective. Thus, really he is aware of all aspects and always practice ecology measures.
