Description

We all care for the environment, but we may not be fully aware of the environmental problems around us, or, if we are, how to get started to become part of the solution is always a challenge.

To find the solution it is very essential to understand the problem in its entirety. As said by Systems Thinker Peter Senge, ‘Today’s problems are Yesterday’s solutions’. This statement always makes me think about the problems we all are facing in the current times, from pollution to population, from plastic pollution to degradation of ecosystems, from increased lifestyle diseases to psychological issues we are facing, all are somewhat result of some kind of solutions we created to avoid some problems in the past. The hastily made decisions or policies formed with short-term narrow thinking has led us to the newer and increasing problems.

So what is the solution? Though the question is complex and dynamic, we need to understand the problem at the core through a broad perspective.
