Abstract

Environmental issues have become more and more complex as a result of human beings' unmindful exploitation of non-renewable natural resources. Man is the real culprit for all the evils of today's environmental problems. It is because of his progress and greed he damaged the fragile environment to an irreparable extent. Population explosion, wrong development strategy, and industrial pollution are considered as series of problems. Due to selfish motive he started to establish more and more polluting industries rather than eco-friendly industry. As a result, nature has also reacted very badly, which is beyond the imagination of his supreme knowledge. Loss of food production, species extinction, global warming, changing sea currents, and ozone layer depletion are a few incidents of nature's anger towards the human beings' unfriendly attitude. Therefore, the need of the hour is to do something innovative in industrial production, disposal of waste, and marketing of finished products. Our conscious efforts towards this end may bring better (quality) life and sustained future.
