Contribution long abstract:

Global history, countering geo-political contours, global national economic interests, space race, augmented reality techniques, technological advancements, smart homes, artificial intelligence etc……. “All the world’s a stage” (Shakespeare).

Paper explores that human civilization innovations and discoveries have indeed made immense contribution in enhancing quality of human life. But while climbing stairs of human civilizational success, much has been left on the ground. The paper examines sustainable solutions for today’s endangered environment by ways and means used by our grandparents to live sustainable lives.

Paper introspects that these are epoch-making times to introspect contested conflicting ideas for our priorities and our decisions about environment. Time has come to believe that nations, world leaders, diplomats, NGOs, social groups, individuals, teachers, students etc all must …together resolve. To save us and our environment, we need to pursue what James Mill disclosed centuries back “greatest good of greatest numbers”, essence of collective good will lead the pathway to environmental sustainability. The need of change in habits for saving environment, which has been long over-due. It’s a high time warning to humans - if they did not restrict themselves from their devastating greed of more and more then probably - time is not far when we will die of scarcity of two most basic essentials i.e. air and water. Ecological disasters have already given mightier warnings, urging to enlighten ourselves, to awaken us from deep slumbered of technological advanced gadgets. World has to learn lessons of ‘restriction’ and ‘refrain’. Rehearsing ‘restrain’ from being an untailored material possession collector and ‘refrain’ from conflict of interest and influence.

March together to build sustainable cities and world all together !
