There is a strange custom at MNNIT Allahabad. Every year after graphics exams, students tear the chart papers and burn them to ashes, just for the sake of fun. Several kilos of paper that could have been recycled is wasted for no reason. Is this fun not too much a cost for the nature and for ourselves in the long run. Millions of trees are cut down every minute all over the world just for the production of paper. Global warming is imposing a high risk to the very existence of mankind,and in a few hundred years we human beings would be on the verge of extinction if we don’t control our activities.
The chart papers that are burnt every year if recycled could give a poor student books to read and copies to write upon. Why have we people become so selfish, that we are destroying the very planet we live upon, the planet whom we call our mother, our MOTHER EARTH. Are we so selfish that we can exploit even our mothers just for the sake of enjoyment. Ah! then we should be ashamed of calling ourselves humans. Animals are better than we humans.
This is my humble request to all my juniors, if you care even a trifle about your mother, please stop this custom of destroying papers. Stop this sinister for your own sake, for the sake of mankind, for the sake of your future generations, because exploiting the Earth so mercilessly just out of fun is a grave sin. Stop being so base, so cruel, so inhuman. Whatever is done cannot be undone, but we can always have a new, beautiful beginning. Save paper, and make this world a better place to live in. If each one of us does his part, the day is not far when God himself will descend and say, “Wow! your heaven is indeed better than mine!” :-)
