Our surroundings, especially air, water and the delightful greenery, are extremely important for human existence, but unfortunately most of us disregard this vital fact and are responsible for polluting the environment in several ways. We pollute the air with smoke in much ways-through smoking tobacco, lighting fires here, there and everywhere, for good reasons and bad. Environment supports life forms. Without the biosphere our planet, the only one endowed with an environment that supports life, would be lifeless and desolate. Scientists have told us that the biosphere is made of a rightly balanced mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor etc. any action that disturbs this fine balance is not conductive to our welfare.

The irony is that man himself indulges in activities that tend to reduce the quantum of oxygen, increase carbon dioxide and other harmful ingredients of the air which consequently become dangerous for human existence. The pollution caused by the fantastic increase in the number of motor vehicles in larger cities has to seen to be believed.

Many times I have been a mute witness to people cutting down trees for various reasons, and shooting birds and animals for pleasure without realizing that they are doing comfortable damage to our environment. Allegation that we are ourselves responsible for spoiling the vital environment.
