Environment refers to the condition and circumstances in which something or someone’s growth is influenced. Therefore, it’s the basic life support system for all living things on the planet earth.

Did you know that environmental day was formed on June 5th 1974 with the aim to revive billions of hectares from forest to farmlands and mountains to oceans?

However, over the recent years, the environment has been exploited excessively because of which the environment conditions are becoming worse day by day. Pollution of air, water and land Mining industrialization, modern urbanization, deforestation, release of chemical effluents and landfills are some of the major factors that cause the gradual deterioration of the environment.

If we do not take immediate measures to preserve and rescue the environment, it will have a reverse and negative impact on us. Therefore to protect the environment  and make it safe for the life, we should :bun the use plastic bags and products, ensure that your household waste is disposed through proper channel, stop littering and also encourage others to stop the same, don’t use chemicals fertilizers and pesticides ,rather go for organic ones, minimize vehicles use and exhaust gases are the greatest pollutants of air, save forests, plants and tress because they are the lungs of the environment. 

 WHY DO WE NEED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT?

Our environment is what houses and helps our ecosystem grow. without protecting our environment animals crops and we are all in danger.

If our environment is not protected then there would not exist forests which include trees that provides us with the basic means to survive such as oxygen to breath, timber and woods.

The environment benefits the economy for a healthy environment promotes more nature-based tourism

Cases of Asthma and bronchitis would decrease if we protect our environment and provide one another a healthy environment to breath in.

As much as the citizens are trying to mind the environment the government should put up measures to keep the environment safe for everyone by providing dustbins in the towns heavy punishment to those who litter the environment intentionally, host world environmental day in different cities on different themes as done on 2016 (GO FOR WILD) to reduce and prevent the illegal wildlife trade.

Ideally, we should not require an environment day to appreciate, protect, save and remember the utility of the environment.it should be a thought embedded in our minds and we should be grateful for its existence. Every action may cause harm to the environment and hence we should be mindful of all our actions and decisions.
