    I asked one of my acquaintances, do you ever think about the earth? So he said what to think about the earth? This is very good. Then he started saying that I keep worrying whether I will get increment this time or not? I have also applied for house loan. If the loan section is not done, then my dream of building a house will not be fulfilled in this budget session. He was also objects that look, how much wrong presentation has been done in that movie. If there is opposition to that movie, then that opposition is correct. Actually we keep worrying about so many such things, but we find it unnecessary to think about our planet, our earth, whereas today it is necessary to think about the earth first. We will exist only when the earth remains habitable.

"We all know about the increasing pollution and deforestation. Deforestation means cutting down trees, which is very nicely explained in the book. We can use clothes bags instead of plastic bags. But it is possible when we take it seriously. The book is written in an informative but easy way. It is a nice book to read because this book will guide us to solve this global problem." These words are not mine, these words are only 11 year old school girl Tanishi  Sharma. Yes in that time she was 11 year old, when I requested her to write a comment for my book's blurb. Actually, when I was completed my book "Climate Change: We can slow the speed", I was decided that for my book blurbs I will written by school age children because our earth and earth's future depends on new generation's hands.
Second two young students Kavya Katare and Aaradhya Karma were 14 years old in that time. Look, what was written young girl Kavya Katare, "I always used to wonder what happened to our society. Why are we cutting the life of humans with our hands? Will we ever be able to get our healthy earth back again or will it be destroyed soon? But this book gave me each and every answer. This book has kept a challenge in front of us. Now it is our turn. Just say CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"
And, the boy Aaradhya Karma wrote that, "We all have to accept this bitter truth that our steps to the so-called “Modernization” are continuously affecting Mother Earth. This book ‘Climate Change: We Can Slow The Speed" will encourage everyone to move toward conserving Nature. I think this is the kind of book that should be on everyone’s bookshelf."

    Forth student, 17 year old Urja Aklecha wrote very intellectually that, "I'm afraid that in future, even if we are willing to hold hands with our mother earth, she will refuse, or more likely, is too bedridden to do so... This book is an alarm for us to wake up now, or else this planet will sleep for eternity."

    Believe, I swear! I am not doing promotion my book. I am trying to express the fact that our younger are think about earth, more than us. I was surprised to read all four comments. Those four students had clear thought on climate change. They are aware about the serious condition of environment and climate. They not only thinking, they try to make better their little efforts. While we adults usually talk only about the irregularity of the weather but not about their causes. We discuss and fume over the propaganda of films for hours.
We have no planet B. We would not be alive if it weren't for the earth. Humans gain enormously from the earth's health benefits. Our planet is definitely a priceless gift from God. It is the principal source of all essential nutrients for all living things on the planet. The most vital thing that earth provides for survival is oxygen. Earth controls the complete cycle of breathing of all living beings. The oxygen we breathe comes from trees, and the carbon dioxide we exhale is absorbed by them. Earth provides everything we need, including the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the home we live in. earth is known as 'Mother earth,' because, like our mother, she is always nursing us and providing for all of our needs. The United Nations suggests climate change is not just the defining issue of our time, but we are also at a defining moment in history. Weather patterns are changing and will threaten food production, and sea levels are rising and could cause catastrophic flooding across the globe. Countries must make drastic actions to avoid a future with irreversible damage to major ecosystems and planetary climate.

Taking care of Earth is not just a responsibility, it's a necessity. This is not too early to say that we have not enough time to rescue the earth. Scientists have different estimations of when they believe that Earth will no longer be habitable if humans continue down the path we’re on. However, humans, animals and ecosystems around the globe are already experiencing the negative effects of climate change. Pollution is a big hurdle on the way of healthy climate. Biological and electronic wastes contribute to water and land contamination as well. Another big issue that has led to environmental degradation is deforestation. When forests are removed, the newly accessible land is used to construct residential and industrial districts. We lose the ecological benefits that trees provide when we lose forest cover. So we should try to reduce every type of pollution.
Saving our earth and its environment becomes highly important as it provide us food and water to sustain life. Our well-being solely depends on this planet it gives food and water to all living things to it is our responsibility to take care of it.

I asked one of my acquaintances, do you ever think about the earth? So he said what to think about the earth? This is very good. Then he started saying that I keep worrying whether I will get increment this time or not? I have also applied for house loan. If the loan section is not done, then my dream of building a house will not be fulfilled in this budget session. He was also objects that look, how much wrong presentation has been done in that movie. If there is opposition to that movie, then that opposition is correct. Actually we keep worrying about so many such things, but we find it unnecessary to think about our planet, our earth, whereas today it is necessary to think about the earth first. We will exist only when the earth remains habitable. So once again think why we should think about our earth? The short answer is that we don't have any Planet B. It is the only earth where we are living and where we will live.
