Green Revolution Collides with Green Evolution





The only planet with the rarest kind of unique matter called life is the earth. Here the base for trillions of evolving and fluorishing organisms is green evolution. The green evolution started with the tiniest blue-green algae and reached up to the mightiest Sequias. But a few  brains disrupted the green evolutionary process through industrial and green revolutionary concepts. The former kind of revolution destroyed a major part of the green biodiversity in wilderness.  The latter kind modified some more green biodiversity in cultivation.  The green trafficking has been happening without being recognized and noticed by a major part of the human world!

The green evolution happens so generously and judiciously that every bit of biosphere flourishes with fertile soils, timely hydrological cycles, luxuriant vegetation and very active and sportive animals.  This prospers not only the overall nature but also the farmer and all his friends and partners in farming. Invisible microscopic flora and fauna and visible macroscopic  earthworms, bees, butterflies,  birds and animals are kept busy and alive.  It also keeps environment clean and consumers hale and healthy.

No dought that there were farming failures in the post-industrial era. Those droughts and famines misguided human thought to take a sudden turn from the ever successful path of green evolution. A fast paced detour was taken, that's called green revolution. There has been misunderstanding of a fact that those calamities were none but the byproducts of destruction of  major ecosystems, for industries and infrastructure only. This new kind of development has engaged the farmer in farming  so vigorously that his agriculture has prospered more than himself. Not only agriculture but also a number of agriculture related companies like seed, fertilizer, pesticide, irrigation, plastic, machine, tractor and food processing industries have prospered a lot. But the farmer has been left with dreadful diseases and demeaning debts and the consumer has been with contaminated, processed, junk food and degenerative diseases.

Neither governments nor their associated companies are in a position to continue farming on natural  ecological models. The only choice left is either to conserve nature and get fresh food or forget human race forever. Let's wait and see how long this scam continues!

Why Do Nature Lovers & Saints Prefer Small Houses?


The Earth is big and beautiful enough  for those who're gifted with broad minds. They're proud to be its inhabitants. They don't even dream of any other planet to live. The Blue Planet which is endowed with luxuriant grass, aromatic leaves, colourful flowers, pearly grains, tasty fruits, quenching water, shiny days and starry nights is a heaven for them. They never insulate themselves from its natural cool breeze by raising impregnable high walls around them. They neither hate nor keep themselves out of the lap of their mother nature. That's why they're both mentally and physically safe. They don't  prefer imperishable concrete to boil their perishable bodies. Their aim is to eke out a tensionless, healthy and peaceful long lasting  life. But not a tension laden life solely for the sake of prestige,  business and money. But the world isn't sufficient for us because we're cursed with narrow minds. That's  why we restrict ourselves to the four walls of our homes or vehicles. And we strive day and night to achieve this.

How much lumber or wood we need to ready a house? Roughly  two cubic meters! How do we get it?  "Destroy about 10 mature leafy trees, stop the release of 5000 kg oxygen per annum into atmosphere, suffocate at least 100 people or animals, scare scores of birds to fly off, chase many a number of mammals and reptiles out of, and decimate millions or billions of tiny creatures!" Now we are content that doors, windows, panels and furnishings are ready. Is transforming the lively natural set-up into a dead one our achievement? ..... But many call it civilization or development!

How much iron or steel we need to ready a house? Roughly three tonnes! How do we get it? "Employ about 50 miners to toil, turn several square metres of soil infertile,  asphyxiate or poison millions of fish in nearby ponds or rivers and saturate the air with plenty of dust". 30 tons of mined dirt is ready! "Now burn half a ton of coal up to 1000 degrees Celsius. Another opportunity to add some more dust, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide fumes to the pristine air". Steel bars or rods are now ready! The transport of raw materials from excavation site to refining site and then to delivery site is an another nightmare. This adds fuel to the already burning piles of pollutants. The same kind of saga with respect to aluminium, burnt bricks, cement, ceramics, copper, glass, plastics, synthetics, tiles and so on. Don't worry. Our houses are ready. As big as they are that much we are called developed and consequently respected in the society. Don't think about others! Otherwise we will be called common men. Won't we?

But nature lovers and saints don't want animals or people to suffer. Even if we call them poor or underdeveloped, they don't tolerate any kind of damage to our body organs! They don't want even a few to breathe polluted air, drink non-potable water and eat contaminated food.  They believe that reduction in construction sizes would definitely reduce intolerable bad effects of mining, refining and transport, and thereby reducing the trauma of life. 

Small sized houses occupy less ground area to  suffocate or moralize subterranean creatures. They also let considerable spongy soil around to absorb naturally distilled rain water, besides accommodating a plenty of trees, birds and animals. They have less wall surfaces as substrata for harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses. No doubt, less requirement of poisonous paints too. Less consumption of electricity, water and maintenance. They facilitate frequent stepping of  dwellers into natural surroundings out of the choking indoor pollution!

Nature lovers and saints prefer small and simple houses to reduce the impact of deforestation, mining and transport on vegetation, animals and human beings! That's how broad minded people think. Great people think in great way. "Live and let live" is the philosophy of their lives. Transferring the wholesome nature to the future generations, for their peaceful,  free and healthy   living, is the ultimate goal! Simplest person is safest both to nature and society.  If we want to keep about 90% corruption and pollution at a bay, we've to tread the path of these pious people. Where the narrow minds try to control destruction and pollution superficially the broad minds are there to pull out the root causes abysmally!
