India's first English Monthly magazine dedicated towards the environment, which goes simply by the name: "Sustainable Environment", was launched today. The magazine was launched by Andhra Pradesh (a state in southern India) Chief Minister, Dr Rajasekhara Reddy. Dr Reddy believes that the protection of nature through the preservation of ecological balance and pollution free environment should be one of the primary concerns in his state.
Sustainable Environment will aim to target the issues of environmental degradation by providing environmental education and hence explaining the necessity to stop the depletion of natural resources. The magazine consists of 68 multicolor pages of glass news print, with articles targeting a vast range of issues, titled as: Nature Conservation and Spirituality; Effects of pollution on new born babies; How to use energy efficiently; 100 ways to save the environment; Attitude of people towards our environment and many others.
At a press conference today, Sustainable Environment's Publisher and Editor in Chief, Mr Mujahid Ali Khan spoke of the escalating greed and the sad lack of care or concern of our generation towards their home.
He said: "The stars, the sun and the mood would have disappeared long back, if they would have been within easy reach of human hands. We will realise that we can't eat money, only when the last river is polluted, last tree is cut and last fish is caught."
Adding further he stated: "What I am trying to do is to stand out and do something which is much needed. We all gain a lot of education in our lives. But, I think environmental education is the one which relates to humanity, a noble cause, a social justice and something that has become essential for us and our future generations".
The magazine which was introduced in Andhra Pradesh will become gradually available in the South and the rest of India. It is sold at a reasonable price and is expected to be well received at the market place.
