ARTICLE ON MY UNIQUE WAY OF CELEBRATING ENVIRONMENT DAY

ENVIRONMENT DAY, CELEBRATED ON 5 OF JUNE EVERY YEAR,SINCE 1970. IT ENCOURAGES AWARNESS AND ACTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT. IT IS BASICALLY A DAY FOR US TO DO SOMETHING UP TO STANDARD FOR OUR PLANET EARTH. BUT WHY JUST ONE DAY, WHY NOT EVERYDAY? SPREADING AWARENESS AND DOING SOME GOOD DEEDS FOR OUR PLANET IS SOMETHING WE ALL SHOULD DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. FOR MANY PEOPLE EARTH DAY IS ALL ABOUT PLANTING ONE PLANT AND POSTING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I’M NOT SAYING THAT PLANTING ONE PLANT WON’T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, IT WOULD. IT’S SUPERIOR TO TAKE BABY STEPS TO HELP OUR ENVIRONMENT HEAL. BUT NEITHER CAN WE DENY THE FACT THAT EACH YEAR 15 BILLION TREES ON AVERAGE ARE BEING CUT DOWN BY US WHEREAS ONLY 5 BILLION ARE RE-PLANTED. SO WHY NOT WE PLANT ATLEAST 4-5 PLANTS EVERY WEEK. AFTER ALL THE STRUGGLE NATURE HAS BEEN THROUGH BECAUSE OF OUR ACTION, THIS DEADLY PANDEMIC WAS A NATURE’S WAY TO HEAL ITSELF, AND IT DID. THERE ARE REPORTS OF GANGES WATER BEING SPARKLING CLEAN, THE HIMALAYAS BEING VISIBLE FROM TOWNS IN PUNJAB, OZONE LAYER SEALING, AIR QUALITY INDEX IMPROVING SIGNIFICANTLY AND MUCH. I WAS ASKED TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ON MY UNIQUE WAY TO CELEBRATE EARTH DAY, BUT TO BE HONEST I DON’T HAVE ANY UNIQUE WAY. BECAUSE FOR ME EVERY DAY IS A EARTH DAY. AND NOT JUST ME BUT FOR EVERYONE EVERY-ONE, NOT JUST ONE DAY BUT EVERY DAY SHOULD BE AN EARTH DAY. AND 5TH JUNE SHOULD JUST BE A DAY TO APPRECIATE OUR PLANET, NOT THAT DAY WHEN YOU SPREAD AWARENESS AND PLANT A TREE.
