Our mother earth is becoming more and more inhospitable due to unprecedented human greed and desire for personal happiness. The surge in world population and the accompanying resource utilisation has polluted mother earth to the core.

The perception of having an immaculate earth free of any pollutants is long fused. The 1970 declaration of celebrating mother earth and protecting it for future generations is no longer tenable in practice.
