What are we doing?
We are a great nation indeed! Not only we break the rules, disobey the law, destroy our environment and corrupt our very own systems, but we also are a nation of insensitivity. God has endowed upon us great natural resources and with our brutal actions we are wiping out the natural assets one by one. We have already destroyed Chittagong Hill Tracts, the Sundarbans is still too indomitable to be destroyed by us and we are almost on the verge of destroying the natural beauty of Sylhet. The latest example of our wonderful and sensible nation's “love for environment” is the destruction of 15,000 trees in Sitakunda. If not for the environment, we could have at least thought of ourselves, from practical viewpoint. We all know that trees are extremely important, especially for the seacoasts to protect the land from storms and high water tides. Like the Sundarbans has stood tall like a fortress during Tsunami and Aila. The ultimate fate of this country is sealed, and we are just facilitating the end to come sooner, we are a country which is going to be devastated by natural calamities and end up being submerged into the sea.
We all must remember that nature always hits back, and when nature takes revenge, it is usually the cruellest one.
