overuse of pesticides in maintenance of city parks… cutting down of roadside trees…….putting up of communication towers on rooftops facing parks leading to extinction of nesting grounds for birds…..preservation of bird life through man-made bird baths in home balconies…. hand-rearing of orphaned fledglings …….nesting areas in cave and groves… need for clean and green environment

Ans.                                  City Parks Oust Bird Population

By Sonu/Sonalika

While outwardly things appear idyllic, the lack of bird sound appears wanting. The park’s attendants are concerned with its depleting bird population. The koyal, a regular summer visitor, has dwindled in number and the sparrow, a common sight amidst tine flower beds and pathways, has disappeared altogether

The authorities cited the overuse of insecticides behind this disappearance. Cutting down of roadside trees reduces nesting spots for the birds. Several fledglings fall to the ground from the branches as this exercise is performed without regard to the nesting season. Communication towers on rooftops of adjacent homesteads have taken a toll of the sparrow population. The depleting population of sparrows is also attributed to the increased use of packaged food. Unlike the earlier days, when women used to clean grain outside their houses and sparrows would have plenty of food from there, birds are either starved or forced to eat leftover from the packaged foods. Extensive use of pesticides and insecticides in farms and gardens is also killing the bird’s primary food source: insects. Creating nesting places under caves and placing water and grain containers in gardens or balconies will alter the status of bird habitat.

Ans.                               Computers: A Boon or a Bane?

                                                 By Nikhil/Neha

    Compute have become an integral part of human lives. Almost every profession benefits from computers. Most of the tangible things that we see are either made or run by a computer. Children, too, have benefits from the constant use of computers. It helps them in their homework, projects, assignments, etc. as well as entertains them through movies. Computer has provided the greatest means of communication that is the internet, an ever-growing virtual world. I think it is the easiest and the cheapest way to get in touch with relatives, friends, business colleagues, etc. Nowadays, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. The benefits of computer endless.

Every coin has two sides. Excessive use of computers has its own set of disadvantages. Too much use of computers can deteriorate the vision of the child. Spending more time on computers, in turn, harms the physical health, which might result in being overweight. Another major problem which is affecting children nowadays is their addiction to computers, the result of which is their distraction from studies. Children spend much time in playing games or social networking, rather than their education and learning. This may affect the child’s development physically, academically, socially and personally. As everything is just one click away, children are becoming lazy and have lost the habit of manually referring to books or even the dictionary.

Thus, we all need to reflect on the other side of the coin. We must remember that excess of anything is bad and we must make the best use of the resources available to us.

Ans.                                     The Deteriorating Values

Growing materialism in the society is profoundly impacting the younger generation. They are growing up in an environment which creates a desire to acquire all that is in their capacity. It has changed children’s perspective towards life. For them, materialism is happiness. They pester their parents to fulfill their demands for gadgets, etc. even though there is no genuine need for the same. children want these in order to impress their friends. Unhappy children get the idea that material possessions are a way to cope with decreased life satisfaction.

Materialism makes us greedy. We try to show-off what we have and are embarrassed if we do not have something that others possess. The world has become a place for the competition where everyone aims to be ahead of others. Youngsters need to understand that money does not bring happiness. It is more important to be content. It is very likely that materialism will lead to decreased life satisfaction later in life. To prevent children from becoming materialistic, educate them about other sources of happiness in life, such as love, friendship, and play, by deemphasising the role of possessions. We need to have values, friends, relations and above all our family’s love and support to lead a happy life.

Ans.                                 Need of Afforestation

                                                 By Nidhi

             This is the modern age where we have left everything behind in the mad race of development. It has made us take Mother Earth for granted. As a result, man has started cutting trees recklessly to cater to his present requirements. Trees not only provide us with fresh oxygen but also reduce pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They are also helpful in reducing global warming.

Hence, afforestation is necessary to combat the issues of global warming, soil erosion, pollution, and the maintenance of biocliversity and ecological balances. There are two ways, i.e. afforestation and reforestation. The development of new forest on a non-forest land is called afforestation, and reforestation means the reestablishment of the forest cover by either naturally or artificially (manual planting of trees). Trees use water and carbon-dioxide (CO2) to convert it into organic matter (wood) and oxygen. Thus, trees act as the natural air-purifiers and help relieve the environment. Considering the need of afforestation in India, many government, private and NGOs are engaged to create new forests through afforestation method to purify the environment, maximise the carbon capture, and control the soil erosion.

It is a matter of great concern that human beings have become so unconcerned towards nature that they are cutting trees in large numbers for settlements, paper, etc. If the present trend of cutting trees is not checked, then we will have to face dire consequences. It is thus, the need of the hour to plant more and more trees. The government should start a large-scale campaign to make people aware of the importance of trees. It is only achievable, if we take up the slogan of ‘Each One Plant One’ more seriously and put our thoughts into action.

■ victims of pollution

■ industrial waste

■ religious ceremonies—idol immersion

Ans.                                           River Pollution

                                                        By XYZ

Rivers are the biggest source of fresh water. They are, therefore, our lifeline for survival. It is really sad to see that most of our rivers are increasingly being polluted because of our negligence and irresponsibility. Untreated sewage and waste from the industries are continuously dumped into rivers. Religious ceremonies are also responsible for river pollution. Immersion of idols, disposal of garlands and flowers end up polluting the water. Similarly, ashes after cremation are also poured into rivers. An uncontrolled disposal of urban wastes into water bodies, open dumps and poorly designed landfills cause surface water and ground water contamination. Industrial wastes containing heavy metals, such as mercury, chromium, lead and arsenic, can threaten or destroy marine life. Health hazards, such as malaria, filariasis, hepatitis and cholera can also spread.

River pollution can pose a serious threat to both the environment and the human health. Continuous river pollution can disrupt the ecological balance and lead to the loss of biodiversity. Rising pollution is thus, a critical problem and the government must implement necessary steps to mitigate it
