By now many of us have watched Al Gore starred movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth‘; many of us have known about the danger of global warming.
We know how quickly the glaciers in the North Pole are melting raising the sea level, that if the sea level rises, Bangladesh will be one of the most vulnerable areas on earth that can be submerged under water by year 2025.
However, in the context of Bangladesh, environmental pollution is already so severe that the bigger picture of global warming scenario may seem far away. For Bangladesh, it is not just global warming; we are polluting our own environment everyday. Especially for Dhaka, our Capital - the City that we are so proud of, we are polluting its air, water, soil/land; not to mention noise pollution and light pollution- all due to our lack of proper planning, and due to our lack of sensitivity towards saving the environment. There are so many aspects of this issue that here with this discussion we can try to focus only on what we can do at our end to protect our own environment.
