The works of P. K. Hari Ram Narayanan
Take heed of Mother Eath's wrath; turn to an eco-friendly life.
Sir,
Earthquakes and Tsunamis like the present one have occurred throughout the life
of our planet. However, I believe man's present lifestyle increases the chances
and intensifies the consequences of such catastrophes. The void created by the
sucking up of water through our bores and the congested construction of
multi-storied buildings makes us more vulnerable and exposed
in the face of such attacks.
So I think we must learn a lesson from this calamity
in order tomitigate its occurrences
in the future. Planting more trees,
saving water, controlling pollution and turning to a more Eco-friendly life are
things we hear often enough; but this incident throws a new light on them. Let
us take Mother Earth's warning seriously and pursue these actions with renewed
vigour.
yours sincerely,
