Let Us All Have Some Environmental Sense

Our peaceful existence in society is incumbent on how well we put our senses to use.

- Bhupender Yadav

Our sense is our ability to think or act in a reasonable way. Our sense in a given situation in a nutshell is our good judgment. We are taught and reminded from time to time to have a civic sense, which is a consideration for the norms of society in our behaviour and interaction with those around. This ensures that we act, or move, or behave, in a manner that doesn’t cause inconvenience to those around.

The same principle applies to environment. It is time for us to realise that apart from having a civic sense or traffic sense or a sense of space, which teaches us not to intrude on other people’s physical or private space, we need to build an environmental sense.

Encouraging an environmental sense in our society is the need of the hour. An easy mantra to cultivate it in us is Mission Life, which encompasses adopting environmentally friendly lifestyles.
