World Environment Day 5th June is a United Nations designated day to increase worldwide awareness of environmental issues and to help motivate both individual and political action. This year the theme is "Forests: Nature At Your Service". On this occasion GHAC is conducting a clean-up drive at Durgam Cheruvu to ensure we remove all the litter from the lake surroundings and a bicycle ride to reduce the carbon emission and spread its awareness among our friends and family.
Further we all as adventure and nature lovers need to think about what more can be done on our each individual level to protect our environment and the planet. The future of coming generations is in our hands. We didn't inherit the Earth from our ancestors but it is only on loan from our children. We should strive to leave the planet better than we found it. There are several actions we can take to protect our planet and pass it to our future generations. For now let's avoid the big talk and think more as individuals as in You and Me and what we can do to protect our planet.
How about using public transport or using a bicycle or a shared car pool to drive to work from tomorrow.
How about asking for bills on email instead of the bank statement or telephone bill on paper.
How about reading your favorite newspaper online.
How about using cloth bags instead of plastics.
How about turning off lights when not in use.
How about taking the stairs instead of using the elevator
How about planting a tree in your neighborhood.
How about spreading the message on taking care of our environment among friends and family.
We will have to sacrifice a bit of our personal comfort for the preservation of nature and our surroundings. Let our actions speak louder than our words. I leave you with a thought and would love to hear from you on what more can we do that will help save our environment.
Happy World Environment Day.
