Just think twice while handing over anything to nature !

It is for us to decide whether we want good or bad from nature.  Because nature returns us a manifold of what we entrust to it. It is the nature of Nature.

4 weeks ago I found a sprouted potato in my fridge so I planted it in the soil in a poly bag.  Only water was given.  Today when I searched its roots, I found 5-6 small potatoes.  And if I will be take it late, I will probably got as big potatoes as I planted one.

We entrust a grain of wheat to nature and a plant grows from that grain.  There are dozens of wheat spikes in that one plant.  There are hundreds of grains of wheat in those dozens of earrings.  This is yet another example of how nature returns us manifold.  This is the nature of nature.  That is why when we entrust nature with something good, it gives us good, but when we entrust something bad, it returns us bad.  You will remember the Mumbai floods. In Mumbai, we handed over choked drains from polythene bags to rain water.  As a result we got floods.

When we are continuously giving pollution to nature and playing with the greenhouse of the atmosphere, then how can we expect pure air from nature? Many harmful gases and particles are present in the smoke coming out of factories, which enter the atmosphere and spread air pollution.  The air quality is deteriorating due to the continuous mixing of nitrogen, sulphur, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases in the air.  Air pollution is extremely dangerous for the health of humans and other living beings.  Air pollution is considered to be the biggest responsible factor for haze and acid rain in the atmosphere.  Air pollution is continuously giving rise to the problem of global warming by damaging the ozone layer.  It is dangerous to the health of organisms and ecosystems.  Most of the air pollution is caused by chemicals, dust, vehicular smoke and harmful gases present in the environment. According to an estimate, the amount of oxygen it takes to breathe 1135 people in a minute is equal to the pollution spread by a motor vehicle.  Nitrogen oxides and nitrogen dioxide are also produced by the burning of diesel and petrol in vehicles, which combine with hydrocarbons in sunlight to produce a chemical haze.  Carbon monoxide gas emitted from air conditioners and vehicles in cities is also increasing air pollutants.

With the increase in the amount of acid in the soil due to the use of chemical fertilizers, now there is a shortage of micronutrients like zinc and boron.  Its adverse effect is falling on the soil, it is also affecting the health of human beings.  By adding chemical fertilizers, the land gives one or two yields, after that the land is not able to uniform the production continuously, the main reason for this is that due to the misuse of the power of the land due to the use of chemical fertilizers in large quantities, there is a decrease in the continuous production. By using chemical fertilizers and seeds, we may get a quick crop, but it will neither be a good crop, nor beneficial for the farmers.

In the greed of growing vegetables in large quantities, some people are not missing out on using oxytocin, a drug used by animals. Doctors say that instead of organic manure, the consumption of these green vegetables grown on the strength of chemical elements can harm health. This can lead to fatal diseases like cancer, digestive and heart disease. Vegetables such as fresh, green gourd, luffa, pumpkin, nanua, brinjal, capsicum etc. are being grown in abundance in the shops even in the off season.  Many such medicines and injections have come in the market with hybrid seeds, using which such vegetables are produced much ahead of time.  But their side effects have also been seen on human hormones.

Same is the case with milk production.  In order to increase the milk of cows and buffaloes, injections called oxytocin are being used indiscriminately.  Due to this, the milk becomes thick but it is also harmful for human beings.

That is why we should always remember that whatever we give to nature, it returns us by multiplying it manifold, so we should give the best to nature if we want to get good for ourselves.
