“Our Environment provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed,” are the wise words of Mahatma Gandhi. Indeed, it is the need of the hour to sensitize masses about being compassionate towards our planet. Every element of this blue and green planet is required to be nourished by us for our children to be nurtured.
World Environment Day is the biggest annual event for positive environmental action and takes place every 5th June. The theme for Environment Day 2019 was “Air pollution”-We can’t stop breathing, but we can do something about the quality of air that we breathe. The theme implores us to get outdoors and to nature, to appreciate its beauty and its importance, and to take forward the call to protect the Earth that we share.
