Description
Protection of "Environment" of the Planet Earth from pollution is the primary responsibility of all "Polluters" including the "Nature". The acts and activities of man leading to pollution of environment are in an ever increasing trend. The reason is obvious for that man is in the mask of greed of self-enrichment at any cost of exploitation and degradation of the environment in various forms, consequences of which, in fact, include deprivation of a happy and healthy living on the mother Earth. While the intention of the polluters is as above, the polluting acts of the Nature appear to be only to restore the polluted environment to its original existence, and to make the entire environment Pollution free. Thus, there is a conflict of interests between the man and the Nature which requires being resolved at the earliest possibility, and the only known solution is to exploit the Nature and Natural Resources in a manner whereby the sustenance of the man as well as of the Nature is well balanced and assured,The predictions of man in vogue since 1970's or earlier, indicate that due to the global pollution resulting in increasing global warming will launch the very existence of the Planet Earth in peril. Frankly speaking, it is a peril not only to the mother Earth alone, but also a peril to the very essential requirements for preservation of the existence of the "life" as a whole on the Earth. Some such predictions have gone to the extent of declaring that by 21 December of 2012, Earth will become disastrous. But  vidently, such disastrous things have not happened by that date, nor may happen in future, more so because, Planet Earth is a "Super-Natural Organ" originated from the "Sun" in the galaxy of Stars, and managed and controlled under the hierarchical administration and overall supervision of the invisible "God", the "Omnipotent". Apart from that "Planet Earth" as a creature of Nature, has its own self-security
system, for its own safe survival.
