Organic Farming
The concept of organic farming in agriculture is not new. But we have to think about it anew. This is because the use of excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticides to feed the growing population in the name of the “Green Revolution” in the sixties has poisoned the environment around us as well as endangered our health. The land has lost its fertility due to continuous use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The ecosystem has been destroyed. Many species of plants and animals are lost. So in this changed situation we have to look back. We have to think anew about organic farming.
Food intake is the first condition of our survival. Healthy eating is essential for a healthy and beautiful life. And only organic farming guarantees us safe and healthy food. So it is hoped that a new revolution will take place in agriculture with the help of organic farming.

Green Revolution
The scorching sun we face these days is a pure reflection of the “you reap what you sow” proverb. The pace with which we are cutting trees and our ozone layer depletion is increasing day by day. We need to take steps as quickly as possible before it gets uncontrollably dangerous.
As deforestation is done before constructing roads or any other infrastructure, then there should be strict rules to plant double or at least the same number of trees. Secondly, publicly it must be encouraged to plant trees outside their houses. There must be such green activities in schools also. For instance, every student in every class should be assigned a project to plant and grow a tree throughout their school life. These kinds of steps will help us same humans as well as animals from these heatwaves.
