With the growing impacts of climate change around the globe, the world is much concerned about the adversities that would befall on human race if important measures are not taken to restore the essence of nature.

Some even believe that the increase in fatal diseases, forest fires and alteration in the climatic conditions is the Mother Nature’s retaliation to how badly the humans have been treating the planet and environment.

Man has been known for carelessly using the blessings of nature to meet it’s personal goals. The oceans, lands and even the sky are full of garbage and waste generated by humans.

In case of Karachi, most are still waiting for the governmental authorities to take steps in this regard and bring the city back to life, while humanitarians like Shehzad Roy also urge people to be more kind and responsible towards nature and environment by not treating the city like a garbage bin.
