Best way to celebrate Environment day
Priti Kumari, Assistant Professor, Education,

As we say, ‘colors are
the beautiful smiles of nature’. Nature has millions of colors in it. It is
what we see and feel around us. It provides us air to breathe, soil to build
our homes for shelter, irrigate to eat, water to drink and a land to stay.
Without it the existence of life on earth is impossible.
The elements earth
provides us should be cherished by each one of us and be conserved for the
future generations for their use. These resources nature provides us should not
be exploited.
Everyday thousands of
trees are being cut down. Removal or depletion
of trees results in climatic changes, the disappearance of
wildlife, soil erosion and greenhouse gases emissions, etc. The loss of trees adversely affects the biological life in all
possible ways.
Forest loss and damage
is the cause of around 10% of global warming. There
is simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we do not stop
deforestation. The only way to fight this problem is in the increment in
afforestation and decrement in deforestation. There are people who take the
initiative for afforestation and so they want other people to do the same for
our motherland. we celebrate environment day each year on 5th June. Since
1979, World Environment Day has been led by the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP).
There is
various way we celebrate environment day: –
The concept
of 3R’s: – REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. By using the 3R’s we can minimize the waste
and the mess we create day by day in a scientific manner so that our society
and nearby places stay clean. For example: – Plastic is a great threat for our
environment in today’s time. it is produced from oil and gas from which both
are fossil fuel and do not have the capability to be recycled. It cannot be
recycled or reused but can be reduced. Avoiding the use of plastic in our
day-to-day life will help to create an impact on shutting down of the
industries which manufacture tons of plastic every day. Avoiding the use of
plastic is a great way to celebrate environment day.
Taking
care of your belongings: – Well, it does not sound having a part in
conservation of environment. When we take care of our items it lasts longer,
which further means less waste in landfills and fewer resources used in the
manufacturing sector. So, making things happen like washing or cleaning your
stuffs on environment day is a great way to celebrate environment day at home.
Planting
a tree and encouraging others to do the same: – It is a common and a best way
to celebrate environment day. There are hundreds of worthy organizations doing
amazing things for the conservation of environment and biodiversity. If people
out somewhere do not know how to contribute to environment there is a way, you
can easily reach out for donations to a campaign which is totally focused on
environmentally focused on the non-profit organizations. Besides planting a
plant or a tree in nearby areas, it will contribute in many ways like,
repairing of damaged ecosystems, reforestation and most importantly keeping the
surrounding clean.
As we
all are aware, the condition of our ecosystem is declining day by day because
of pollution, deforestation, and global warming. Everyone should celebrate and promote
eco-friendly development all over the world. Other than this, it is also our
duty as being a responsible citizen of our country that these activities should
be done on the regular basis by schools, colleges,
children, and other campaigns that tree plantations, recycling initiatives
should be taken, including all kinds of green actions in order to motivate and
inspire people about the bad conditions of our beautiful planet.
