"When this world was made, It was so neat and clean. Why must man kind have been so mean, The ponds and rivers flow so free. But clean again they will never see. The sky and clouds were a sight to be seen, Now it is a struggle to keep them clean."
- Dennis Penny
Let’s take up this challenge and make Mother Earth – a cleaner place to be in! Times are changing and so are the climatic conditions….Today, Skyscrapers and flyovers add to the beauty of our surroundings instead of the trees and streams, which we were surrounded by, once upon a time. Mother Nature has perpetually nurtured the requirements of mankind, but in order to quench his thirst of ever growing needs, the greedy man has utilized every bit of nature for his benefit. In gratifying his desires, man has forgotten that he is causing gross damage to the environment and as a result, to himself.
This year on the World Environment Day (WED), let’s come together and stimulate worldwide awareness towards the environmental issues.
WED, commemorated each year on 5th June world wide after the historical Stockholm Conference on Human Environment in 1972, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations enhances political attention and action oriented strategies besides creating awareness amongst the masses.
Various issues discussed on this day are poverty alleviation, population growth, economic development, protection of environment, equitable use of resources, prevention of pollution, planning for future, etc. WED is a reminder to show our gratefulness to Mother Nature, which sustains all forms of life.
WED is a day to focus thoughts and our energies for collective efforts to protect the environment and to keep the world clean and green. This year the theme for World Environment Day is 'Your Planet Needs You! Unite to Combat Climate Change.' From participating in awareness rallies and seminars to the simple action of planting a pod at your home or in your locality…will be your contribution on this day.
As Blaise Pascal said, "The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble." So dear readers, think twice before throwing a pebble as the ripple created will affect one and all.
It Is The Time To Use Less and Act Now!
