Sir, Environmental degradation is growing into a grave concern in various parts of the world today. Countries especially in developing regions are suffering from problems emanating from a combination of factors including population growth, concentration of population in cities, industrialization and poverty, resulting in air pollution, water contamination, decline in sanitation, degradation of forests and soil, loss of biodiversity, marine pollution etc. Moreover pollutants released in countries around the world are spreading across boundaries and transcending generations to cause problems of a wide range, such as climate change and acid deposition. These problems are not only threatening human health & living but also undermining the foundation of development for future generations with the diminishment of environmental resources. In order to eliminate poverty and preserve the benefits of the environment for the future, actions must be taken to address environmental issues based on the concept of sustainable development. We team of experts drawn from various fields started a non government organisation in the year 1998 by name “Green Universe Environmental Services Society" renowned as the “GUESS”. We are one of the leading civil societies in India committed towards sustainable development initiatives. For the past decade we are fighting against various environmental degradation issues and initiating change through reinvention & innovation. Our objective is to make our planet free from happening series of disasters due to man made mistakes in the name of development & technological advancement. Today climate change is great concern to the society. Global warming effects are too severe resulting in frequent natural disasters like uncertain rain fall, drought, cyclones, tsunamis, earth quakes, depletion of ground water, seasonal changes, climate shift, soil fertility degradation, increase in temperature etc. Countries like India 70% of the population depend on agriculture and allied sectors. changing climatic conditions are transforming most of the agricultural fields & farm lands in to deserts. The farmers and rural masses are losing livelihoods and migrating to urban areas which causing lot of pressure. India is going to face severe food crisis in near future due to high level growth rate of population and climate shift. World population touched 7000 Million and by 2050 expected world population would be around 14000 Million. Situation is alarming. At this juncture feeding 1500 Million population would be a hectic task. Considering the above facts it is the time to react and to take up various sustainable pro environment & adaptive measures through climate resilient farming activities. The forest cover is being reduced year after year. Let us join hands and take up sustainable income & employment generating massive plantation activity. We have wonderful such project plans on hand to implement. It is not about how much wealth we have created for our children but clean water, pure oxygen & disaster free world make the difference. “Let us arise, awake and stop not till the green globe is achieved.” www.guessfoundation.org
