Conserve what our future generation deserves
so
yes certainly when today we all have
gathered
and after a covered time i think this is
my
my also the first event
then certainly there must be something
very important today we going to talk
and discuss
what are we going to talk and discuss
today with me i’ll start
with a very small exercise so student
all of you ask with me
raise your hand who is with me great
so when we were small few of them are
still small i can see that
but when we all were small
our teacher asked us to draw a beautiful
portrait a beautiful scenery
what all we were drawing that time so
let’s start quickly with the exercise
come on mountain yes ma’am
right mountains filled with wow
that’s beautiful and we had the blue
rivers we had green
wow so we all know we are on the same
chapter
we had the beautiful birds flying
and i am sure all of us
imagining this beautiful portrait when i
was talking to you
and asking you that what we were doing
in our mind
now when portrait is that beautiful and
we know
that this will remain in our heart and
mind for years
and decades and centuries then what is
the problem
so now this is the problem
the mountain you have seen the snow we
are talking
that started to melt because of the
global warming
there is a 0.07
degree celsius temperature rising up
each decade since 1880
so we have mountains but we do not have
that snow
i talk about the blue river i am so
sorry
that in our scenery we don’t have a blue
river now
because if we talk about gangaji there
is every single day 1.9 billion liter
garbage has
dumped into gangaji and if i talk about
any river
any water bodies that has been polluted
to 80 percent
i talked next about the green plush
trees we are talking
which gives us oxygen that deforesters
deforestation has started to happen
every year there are billion of trees
seven billion trees has been cut down
i talk about next the air pollution
who knows better than us who are sitting
in delhi right now
we are wearing masks for the covered
right now
but before covid yes there was a
requirement for mask
again there are more than
two million indian every day who is
dying because of this air pollution
i talk next about the water we are
talking about this beautiful scenery
where we have a house we have
all the natural resources we have clean
drinking water but
unfortunately there are 17
million people don’t have access to
clean drinking water
so my dear student today when we talking
about this
why it becomes so important
why environment becomes so important all
of us
somebody want to be a doctor somebody
want to be an engineer
i tried so many things in my life so
i’ll not talk about me right now
but yes we have so many aspirations in
our life
but nothing could work on until we do
not have
a clean drinking water until we don’t
have this clean
air to breathe until we don’t have green
trees until we don’t have a clean
food to eat when we talk about the
atmosphere it becomes
at the most important because this is a
thing which is covering us
from all over we cannot survive
out without this environment my dear
student
and teachers it become
[Music]
at most important thing right now
because we are
into a very very bad shape i just talked
about it
if i talk about the environment
and i just talked about ma gangaji
i will say it doesn’t matter which
religion we belong
which country we belong which ideology
we belong
because each and every one has talked
about environment
so i am very sure that today
all of us sitting here from different
culture from different religion and we
are thinking about
oh really i don’t think that i belong to
maya gangaji
but i tell you dear student this gangaji
is not
only a pratik of shraddha astha
and shanti but we’re talking about the
scientific
and logical aspects of also
this ma gangaji has a 40
of oxygen which has been given to many
people
there 40 to 45 people are still
surviving on bank of gangaji
and forget about only hindu culture
in each and every religion we have given
importance to environment i’ll start
with the hindu ideology
the first thing when our guests come to
our home
what we offer come on oh wow
so yes we know the importance
when we are eating food and we
are trying to leave we are planning to
cheat in front of our parents and hiding
some food i’m sure all of our mother
teachers
say
wow we know that we know that in
every auspicious occasion whether it is
a marriage whether it is a puja
or anything we have given so much
priority
to all these five elements which is
water
air earth we are keeping water in
our all of auspicious things i talk
about
bhagavad-gita i’ll give you a quote from
bhagavad-gita
that advice not to try to change the
environment
improve it or wrestle with it according
to the islam
islam also talked about the environment
and they said according to islam
people should realize theirs their stay
on earth is only temporary
that they shall all have to face the day
of judgment if they choose to pollute
the environment
and do harm to leaving creature on
earthly comfort
believer in holy quran will face the
terrible
end okay so in christianity also they
believe
to save the humanity to save this earth
we have to work in partnership so my
dear student it doesn’t matter that
which religion we belong
environment has always been a very very
important part
now we have talked enough about the
problem i’m not here to discuss problem
because we all know that
i am here to discuss the solution of it
and you the young people sitting here
you remind me of hanuman
who has to cross sagar
and has to bring mass sita back to
bhagavan sriram and he didn’t know about
his
caliber he didn’t know about his
capability
and that very moment he has given a
wake-up call unki counselling
so my dear student this is a time for
each of
and everyone sitting here for a small
counseling and
for a small wake-up call this is what we
are doing here
so again i will discuss
i will share a small fact with you which
is very interesting because when i was
reading that
thing into a news article that
really make me interesting to know it
more and more
there was a mass suicide of sheep
happened
in country turkey we all know turkey
right
so there are 500 sheep on the 200 meter
of the cliff
and all sudden the whole world shook up
because these 500 cattles just jumped
from the cliff
and they died the whole village get into
depression that what happened
how these 500 sheep died again
in the world
news in a south africa their
thousand of wilder bees died while
crossing the river
nobody could understand why it happened
and actually dear student when they
started to find out
that what happened that pancho sheep
just jumped from the cliff and died we
get to know
that there was a bear child this is a
very famous what in our
indian people here char because when one
sheep
jump from the cliff others started to
follow it
they don’t know what is lying in front
of them but they just started to follow
the same thing happened in south africa
where one will rubies were crossing
others started to follow
my dear student this is what we are
doing right now
we just started to follow blindly
everything
if your friend is throwing something
into a garden
or on the road we say what is
this attitude need to change
if this attitude will not change there
is no planet
b we have to survive on this planet
it is not necessary we going back to the
same house
we having the same amount of water are
we having the same amount of the air
so this is a time we really need to
aware
so i was talking about the solution
we don’t have to do anything we don’t
have to miss school
certainly we don’t have to miss school
we don’t have to do any andolan
we don’t have to merge the small small
things we have to do
is just to make yourself aware about
things
a very interesting fact i’m going to
tell you
first tell me who all are using ro water
at their place
i should be rather asking who is not
using
so yes we all do that how
do you know that how many percentage of
the clean drinking water we are using
only 30 percent rest is 70 percent of
the water
goes waste where 790 million
people in the whole world don’t get
access to clean drinking water we
waste 70 percent of our water
so what are we going to start from today
onwards
we’re going to tell our mommies we’re
going to tell our daddies
or are we going to tell ourselves that
we going to smartly utilize that water
whenever we are stepping out of the
house or room
we have to always check that electricity
is put down because it’s not important
when you’re coming back home
you have access to the same electricity
and the biggest solution today i want to
talk to all of you
is a circular economy fancy
no i don’t think so this circular
economy
india has always been practicing how
i tell you a very small story i studied
initially in vanessa rajasthan which is
a deserted area not much water
life is little dry but one day
one incident really catch my eyes
what i saw i saw there was a mother
she put her child onto a cot
and put a big tub beneath that god
once the child shower is over
she used that water for plantation
she gave it to the guy or hairs of her
house
she washed clothes from the same water
and that thing ring a bell in my mind
this is a circular economy
all the industry were using one pattern
before
take make and dispose
what we are saying in circular economy
there is
nothing go waste we believe
that each and everything can be utilized
again
and again so this is a circular economy
which has a 7r model i will say reduce
redesign
retrieve recycle repair renew and reuse
we
all know that and if somebody don’t know
that
i am here to tell that resources are not
infinite
it is limited in nature it is water
it is everything all of the fuel
what we you know we running in a car we
don’t care
that we believe that nothing going to
change nothing going to finish
no this is not the scenario so here we
talk about the circular economy
which is talking about taking care of
our environment in a very nicer way
on the same time
we are creating more jobs for people
we are making those resources
work in a manageable way so
for example if i talk about the circular
economy
there are many many advantages we can
see which
something as an young person
who want to develop into this world
economy into the indian economy this
point really tells me
that boosting economic growth and
creating jobs
you can see the number
and i believe it’s not something we
cannot achieve
it’s just something very big that we
cannot do because these big companies
has already started to do
who all like h m okay
there are guys also liking h m good
good so this h m brand
they have started and adopted this model
called circular economy what they are
doing we have old clothes
they started together collecting old
clothes from you
they are processing it in their
warehouses
and they’re making new clothes by it the
same goes
timberland they’re using the same
technology for their tires
vigga and there are many brands like
phillips they are making their led bulbs
they are taking the old bulbs from you
they are using that technology
to you know reuse into and
recycle into a newer way and creating a
new product
again i’m reminding you we are the
indian who knows
how to utilize our resources at the best
all the women sitting here they know
about it
so we know that already our daddy
nannies were
always using that old clothes for making
all the rajas and gadda why we are
forgetting about this
we have always believing into saving
resources and utilizing in a very
smarter way
um
[Music]
i wish you will achieve that very soon
thank you so much mom
