Basic needs of life!

-

We humans often have an underminin­g thought that clothes, shelter and land are our basic needs of life.

It is sometimes sad to see people advocate and help give out clothes, housing (shelter), etc to the needy for survival. However, to date, people do not understand what are the basic human needs of life? And these are access to clean air, sanitation, clean drinking water, a forest free of pollution and many more in the list. When our forests are healthy, our future will be healthier!

Today, if the world starts to understand the importance of having these needs in human lives, shelter, clothes and land will automatica­lly be available to us.

We see many activists around us advocating on poverty, but there are fewer people creating awareness on having access to clean air, sanitation and water.

If voices could be used in these needs, the world will only become a better place to breath in.

In order for us humans to have healthy living on earth, our ecological environmen­t needs to become healthier.

And as the population of the world is increasing day by day, access to clean water is important.

Today, I wish to pose a question to the people reading this article, what will we gain by eradicatin­g poverty when we do not have access to the essential needs of human life?
