“We have not inherited this earth from our forefathers; we have borrowed it from our children”.
उत्तर
Over the decades, a change has come in the perception of the people with respect to the planet. The human perception has shifted to a “holistic and ecological view of the world”. Earth is a living organism that has limited resources. These resources will not last forever. The earth has its metabolic needs that require to be preserved. The need of the hour is “sustainable development” which propounds the need of meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising with those of future generations.
The present problems are not necessarily fatal for us but they are a ‘passport for future’. This is the “Era of Responsibility” that calls for responsible action from us. We must realise that the earth belongs as much to the future generation as much as it belongs to us.
