Today, 5th June; Is the world environment day!! Dont know how many people are actually bothered about it! But nature and environment enthusiasts and environmentalists are making some efforts to continue creating awareness about Global Warming. Even after numerous efforts we still see people keeping the engines of vehicles on on traffic signals, government is continually reclaiming the creeks and mangroves are vanishing, Builders around Borivili, Mulund, Thane and Ghodbunder entering SGNP premises providing their complexes greenery in the backyard!! State government is behind spoiling the beauty of the Western Ghats.
Here in Mumbai we know whats the plight of Mithi river, I guess it will take something more than yet another 26th July for the government to hear the call of the moment. The width of Thane – AiroliĀ creek has reduced upto 75-80% in last few years!! The corporation is running behind making more and more dumping grounds to meet the need of the ever growing population of the city. A line should be drawn somewhere not just by the government but also by ourselves by being more responsible and spreading awareness.
