We live on a planet which has oxygen, the most essential gas for any living being. This comes from foliage and the ocean and is abundant on our planet.
We ‘celebrate’ World Environment Day on 5th June. We use this opportunity to raise awareness about our depleting resources and pledge to save the environment.
However, while we have spread awareness about these issues, have we ever done anything tangible to remedy this?
We can all contribute in small ways. Perhaps, we can maintain and nurture a small garden at our homes. We must stop polluting beaches because we all love fish and we do not want Nemo getting lost forever, do we?
It is time for all of us to help instead of just spreading awareness about our world’s slow, painful death.
Do share with us, either in the comments section or via email, how you have contributed to saving the environment!
