I take this opportunity and your permission for cticising you, me and all the people of this society. We are not living for one another but we are all living exclusively for ourselves and we are not bothering as to what is happening to our fellow members of our society. One single decision of Government will affect not just lakhs but crores of people of any country. All the decisions of the Government are our decisions because we are part of this democracy. Let us see how millions and millions of people have become jobless and what harm has been done to environment in that process.

Let us take the example of our eating. Now a days we are eating in Plastic plates, paper plates, steel plates, glass plates, silver plates and may be some people are eating in golden plates, but of course we are not eating gold and silver. Just by eating in plastic plates and steel plates (predominantly these are used) a few industrialists and some employees and some distributors, wholesellers, reatailers are employed. As the time passed by we are becoming aware that we are not acting in conformity with the nature but we are acting against the nature. Plastic is being banned by various governments in various countries.

Now just look at one startling fact. If there is a ban on eating in steel plates and plastic plates - what happens?

Every one has to take food in banana plantation leaves and other leaves of suitable plants. What is the amount of cultivation, greenery, bio degradable produce, water availability, soil conservation, employment to various land lords, agricultural workers, transportation from rural areas to cities, distributors, whole sellers, retailers, agents, brokers, agricultural market committees, fertilizers, pesticides, research in agriculture take place and besides all these things how the quality of the food that we take will improve.

The quality of the food definitely improves because these leaves are having life and it adds taste to the food that we take. In india if you go to any high class restaurant you find that banana plantation leaves are given in a steel plate and it adds fragrance to the food that we eat.

Government while giving permission to any industry has to think atleast 100 years ahead and should gather public opinion and after a debate is conducted, it should give permission to the industrialist after a lot of deliberations if and if it is in the public interest in all the aspects. But now a days it has become other way round. Industrialist gives money but an agriculturist will not give the money. This materialistic tendency of the successive governments is causing untold miseries to the mankind in the form of climate change and so many other issues which mankind cannot solve.

My dear friends think, think, think and think - our thoughts have the power to sway the public opinion. IN my nex entry i will write about another industry which is spoiling the mother earth.

Had we got the habit of eating in leaves mother earth would have been glad and she would not have become so hot - leading to climate change - leading to switching off lights for one hour in all the countries across the globe.

Think, think, think, think, think, think, think my dearestttttttttttttt friends. Thoughts are most powerful in this world and thoughts lead to actions, actions lead to votes, votes lead to governments, governments lead to good decisions.

Thank you,

Peoples friendly
