ENVIRONMENT IS THE MOST SENSUOUS TOPIC TODAY. IN WESTERN COUNTRIES IT GAINS MUCH IMPORTANCE DURING THE ELECTIONS. BUT IN OUR COUNTRY EXCEPT A FEW AGITATIONS NOT MUCH THOUGHT IS GIVEN TO ENVIRONMENT. AFTER THE MISHAP AT BHOPAL WE ALL HAD STARTED TO WAKE UP TO THE PROBLEM OF POLLUTION BUT AGAIN AFTER A FEW DAYS, WE WENT BACK TO OUR HIBERNATION PERIOD, PRETENDING TO SLEEP, NEGLECTING THE MUCH SERIOUS PROBLEMS RELATED TO ENVIRONMENT. WE MUST REALISE THAT ENVIRONMENT AND POLLUTION ARE LINKED AND INTERDEPENDENT. WE MUST READ EACH AND EVERY ARTICLE INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK. THIS NEW EDITION IS MUCH MORE MODIFIED. IT INCLUDES MANY NEW ARTICLES ADDING TO THE INFORMATION RELATED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. IT WILL SURELY ENHANCE OUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE THINGS AROUND US. THE SPEECHES AT DIFFERENT PLACES LIKE AKASHWANI, NEWSPAPER, ETC, ARE COMPILED IN THIS BOOK. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC LINK IN THIS BOOK. YOU CAN OPEN IT TO ANY CHAPTER AND START READING IT. THOUGH RELATED TO EACH OTHER, THE TOPICS INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK CAN BE READ SEPARATELY. THE REASON THAT "I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO READ THIS BOOK COMPLETELY` SHOULD NOT PREVENT ANYBODY FROM READING IT. SOME POINTS ARE REPEATED PURPOSELY AS HAMMERING HELPS TO CREATE AN AWARENESS.
पर्यावरण हा आजचा राजकीय विषय बनला आहे. पाश्चात्त्य देशांत निवडणुकांत तो महत्त्वाचा विषय मानला जातो. आपल्याकडे मात्र. थोड्या–फार चळवळी सोडल्या. तर आपण या बाबतीत उदासीनच असतो. भोपााळ दुर्घटनेनंतर प्रदूषणाबद्दल आपल्याला जाग येऊ लागली होती; पण त्या बाबतीतही पुन्हा ‘ये,रे, माझ्या मागल्या’ अशीच परिस्थिती पुन्हा निर्माण झाली आहे. या दोन महत्त्वाच्या, परस्परावलंबी विषयांवरचा हा लेखसंग्रह प्रत्येकाने वाचायला हवा. या सुधारून वाढवलेल्या नव्या आवृत्तीत पर्यावरणविषयक अद्ययावत माहितीची भर नव्याने घालवण्यात आली आहे, त्यामुळे या विषयात रस असणाया सर्व वाचकांना बरीच नवीन माहिती मिळेल.
