How Sane Are We?
Anuradha Chaudhary, Bangladesh (1947-)
 Summarize the Essay "How Sane Are We?"

Though this essay the essayist tries to answer the question "How Sane Are We?" or how careful are we? According to Anuradha, we are not able to preserve nature as our ancestors handed it down to us. Modern people have been irrational, irresponsible to the care of environment. Manmade chemical, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which reduces the layer of ozone is like a shield to protect the earth. It protects the earth by observing 99% of the ultraviolet rays. The ultraviolet rays have many harmful effectives. Such rays may cause serious damages in ecological and agriculture systems. People have different kinds of diseases. Knowing this according to Anuradha the use of CFCs should have immediately been banned to avoid flu damages in the earth CFCs were invented to in 1930s and used in refrigerator, trays, spray cans and computer chips etc. In 1974 scientists warned that these chemicals destroy the natural existence. But government and their producers took no notice this warning. In 1878 the use of CFCs was banned only in some products. The nations of  the world agree to stop their production by 2006. A.D. Even now it is not effectively used in practical world. It is western politicians who are responsible for this damage of environment. They are greedy, shortsighted and selfish. They only think about their upcoming election and short-term benefits. They don't see the further result of their hasty decisions. So if we want to stop environmental degradation, we have to change the way we think and we change our decision making process.
