The Earth Needs A New Leader!

Today I had a discussion with my friend Ravi about the need for a new kind of leadership to lead all the creatures from the planet to a sustainable and clean environment ecosystem. Out of our telephone conversation, an awareness emerged that the existing leadership in politics, business, education, health, agriculture and others won't really spearhead a new system. These leaderships are fake, superficial, corrupt, greedy, conventional and direction less. They won't figure out new ways and new technology to save the planet earth from the disaster.

So where can the leadership emerge from? The real leadership will come from outside the political circle and corporate culture. Political and corporate leaderships have failed to create a sustainable and clean earth instead they have contributed to the global catastrophe. They are in the myopic and unfit system that they can't rethink a new system to solve global issues. These people have succeeded in satisfying their own desires mutually at the expense of the earth. They have exploited the earth's resources so much that they don't mind dying when the natural calamity will strike the earth.

What the earth needs is a new breed of leaderships who are highly motivated, directed, focused and committed enough to spearhead a new society, a new civilization and new clean technology innovation. It is possible to innovate new technological tools to sustain human beings and other creatures on the planet. The fossil fuels shouldn't be the fundamental sources of energy on the planet. We must be able to produce energy from the sun for another billion years. Sun is a viable energy source and we should be committed deeply to design technology to intensify the energy harvesting.

I am quite sure when a new breed of leadership is in place, it will give way to clean environment and sustainability of living beings. The leadership will come from ordinary citizens because they are the real observers of the changing climate and weather conditions. So let's look forward for such powerful leaders who could shift the existing poles and make it look a better world of highly civilized creatures.

Let's encourage these eco-leaders and new breed of leadership because they alone can create and innovate a new system which can sustain the human existence on this earth. Leadership is important and that is the need of the hour.

We Need A Positive, Constructive, Collective & Eco-Friendly Civilization!

There are some important questions to be answered. Are we humans the chosen ones among all existing creatures on this planet earth or are we just acting smart? Should we consider the other creatures, plants, minerals, water, gas and mountains etc in order to design growth plans or we humans should alone decide for them too? Have we reached to the pinnacle of human civilization? Why are we causing so much damage to the planet earth? Why are we so disconnected with the nature? Are we humans and the nature one?

These are astonishing questions and we need to find answers to these questions if we want to continue our human and other species. The planet earth is the only known habitable place to live in at the moment and it is our duty to take every measure to save it from destruction of every form.

The economic growth that government wants to achieve at the expense of the nature is a sad circumstance that could ever happen to human beings on this earth. A positive, constructive, collective and eco-friendly economic growth must be our purpose in life whereby the human civilization could continue to exist and live forever. The industrial revolutionary system must be shunned and give way to more environment friendly industries.

In my calculation, we humans may not survive the next natural catastrophe because we are too vulnerable to adopt to changing environment. We don't have any natural protective gears and we can be devastated just like dinosaurs of the past. It is the correct time that we humans must rethink about our human desire and include other species in consideration because we are not alone on the planet.

Let's protect our home, our planet earth and make a path for future generation equipped with green technology and growth so that our existence on earth should not be a story of extinction. Let's live, care, connect and feel one with the nature. For without the nature we are not humans and humans can't exist without the nature. We must change our thinking and behaviour about the nature. Let's build a positive, constructive, collective and eco-friendly civilization, a civilization which is sensible and intelligent enough to know the reality.

What Is Wrong With Humans?

When I think about how the world has turned out to be today and how it will be in the future, one big question really keeps coming to my mind over and over again is this: is there anything wrong with people today? What is wrong with people? Why have we failed to design and create a system that cares for the earth and its creatures? The earth is injured crying for help and asking people to be merciful and kind. Why don't we listen to and do something about it? In my opinion, there is something wrong with us. Let's see how.

The earth is being abused and exploited massively beyond its capacity to sustain life on this earth that within a short span of time we will be facing extinction of all species on this earth. During the industrial revolution, in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the industrialists extracted resources from the earth so much in order to make a huge margin of profit that they degraded and destroyed the environment to the brink of non-existence. They didn't bother to show some modesty in their drives to extract the resources and throw the industrial wastes in the nature causing air, water and land pollution. This process is continuing at accelerated speed. It is good to make huge profits but if there is any profit, we are paying the price and the price is very high- human and animal extinction.

The industries, companies and governments of the world are behaving in a strange way with the earth's resources. The governments are supporting the industries and companies to extract resources and finish off everything just to make a big profit. Today governments of the world are not big, they have shrunk as a result they have to obey what the big corporations demand and dictate. How can we the citizens of the world allow the irresponsible people to exploit and abuse the resources so badly that hardly there will be any resources left for our future children? Where will our children go and live with their families if we exploit and use them all now?

The trees are being cut everyday in thousands just to make profits and live a luxurious life at somebody's expenses. The water which belongs to everyone is rationed and bottled in order to tap the potentiality of making huge profits. Oil is extracted from the nature and used for multi-purpose causing a lot of pollution in the air, land and water as a result we are suffering from various diseases which we don't know. We know those diseases only when we get sick and have to pay the medical bills. It is very strange why people have to design this way and follow even in this 21st century?

We have the linear system of extraction, production, distribution, consumption and dumping but this linear system has destroyed our nature and ecology so much that we can see it and feel every day. Why not adopt and design some sustainable, green, zero waste and reliable system to allow life to exist on this earth? It is possible to create and make a system which can cater to all people in the world.

The recent recession has brought a disaster for people. It has killed people, left people jobless, hungry and broke. How can a system that is not supporting people to survive and live be protected and continued even in this century? It has become obsolete and we must never take that as a foundation to draw a future course of existence on earth. We got to be more constructive, sustainable, wise and innovative in using our resources for years to come.

The earth is crying for help because it is suffering. Let's do something and contribute whatever we have to save our planet earth from those industrialists, profit mongers and the governments who protect and promote them by making laws and rules. We must be able to create a world, which no king or queen or president had ever thought of.

The earth is filled with toxins, chemicals, diseases and myopic people who are thinking and acting small and short. They should not be allowed to destroy our earth. We must save our earth from those few humans who are putting all of us into extinction. I think they should be responsible humans to apologize and correct their ways to save the earth for all to live, move and multiply.

If human beings were good and right in their behaviours and actions, they would have protected the earth from the brink of destruction. We should take the step now before it is too late to act and do something. Something is always wrong with people over the years. People have killed, maimed, kidnapped, tortured and destroyed the human civilization and the nature. So obviously it proves that there is something wrong with people. Mahatma Gandhi, wouldn't have approved people destroying the earth at an accelerating speed. Let's stand together and save the earth. Find some solutions for there are solutions to save the earth.
