The Corona Effect... Post by Nivya Sajan

It's been a month since we've all been on lock down. Now, the word 'positive' has begun to frighten us daily. But, this lock down due to Covid-19 has freed one from years of lock down..... Our mother nature! Now, it's getting healed from every sorts of pollution and being greener. Even our blog too is shining in a new greenish appearance! So, let me write about the greenish impact..... The Corona effect....... Now, environment is so busy; busy in reclaiming it's beauty which was lost due to man's evil deeds. The rivers, air, soil...... everything is in a purification process. 

 The satellite footages by NASA revealed a drastic decline in Nitrogen dioxide(NO2) emissions in China and Italy, since human hunkered down indoors! 

Air pollution in New Delhi, one of the most air polluted cities in the world, dropped by 60% within just a few days since the beginning of the lock down. The citizens say that, Delhi hasn't seen this much clear air for decades. They are enjoying the pureness!

 Also, some parts of India reported that they saw the Himalayas from their home for the first time in decades, because, the smokescreen was removed! River Ganga was an agonizing sight for Indian minds due to it's pollution. Now, the squalor all around the river and it's surroundings is reduced very much. The main reason is the decrease in the amount of industrial wastes in the lock-down days........ 
 In the vicinity of my house, we began to see the birds that were not seen for years. They are really enjoying the freedom during these days! Above all, many of our courtyards are filling with varieties of crops and vegetables. It's a chance to have non-toxic food! Even though the lock down period is being over, let's not forget our responsibilities towards our mother nature....... Let's be the change.......
