This day is celebrated every year to remind the people across the globe about the harm we have been causing to our environment, how we have disturbed the natural balance of our environment, and what measures can be taken to reverse the damage.

– Say no to plastics: Instead of using plastic bags, use environmentally friendly carry bags, such as bags made of paper (reuse them again and again), biodegradable bags, compostable bags, etc.

– Plant more saplings: Trees play an important role in producing oxygen and
absorbing carbon dioxide from the environment. Hence, it is important to make yourenvironment greener around you. Forests play an important role in absorbing and storing water, which prevents flooding of cities and other areas. Preserve and let it protect us in return.

– Waste Segregation: Every day different type of waste are generated in our homes. It is important for us to identify and separate organic and inorganic wastes. For example, dust, aluminum cans, paper waste, and other types of dry waste are classified as inorganic, whereas food waste, fruit waste, and other wet types of waste are classified as organic waste.

– Save Energy: Save electricity by switching off your appliances when they are not in use.

– Adopting alternative sources of energy: Switching to renewable sources of energy will not only save limited natural resources but will also reduce pollution.
