    Are we to leave our successors a scorched planet of advancing deserts, impoverished landscapes and an ailing environment? Discuss.  

    Answer:

    The ever-rising inflation, the high cost of living, paucity of drinking water, frequent power cuts 'these are the problems we face every day. We fall sick with so many new ailments. These are the assets we have inherited from our ancestors. But the question is, if we are suffering, should we not think of finding solutions to these problems and give a better world to our successors? We, certainly, have to take corrective measures to ensure that we do not leave our successors a scorched planet of advancing deserts, impoverished landscape and an ailing environment. We should not make unreasonable claims on the four biological systems (1) fisheries (2) forests (3) grasslands (4) croplands. Overfishing should be avoided and forests should be preserved. New plants should be planted. We should try to avoid using cow dung for burning, so as not to deprive soil of its natural fertilizer.
