Over use of natural resources accelerate climate change and
cause ecological imbalance on the earth. And hence, it is the need of the hours
that we should use our natural resources in a balanced manner so that we could
protect our environment. Plastic is hazardous for the planet and each human
being is responsible to reduce it in day-to-day lives to save future of our
generation.
These
were the words of the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, G. Kishan
Reddy.
He
was addressing the participants during tree plantation and plugging drives,
organized by the NDMC in New Delhi on Friday. The drive was also meant to guide
about reducing single use plastic.
He
said that recent the Prime Minister had urged the nation from the Red Fort to
reduce the single plastic in our lives and save environment. Accordingly,
protection of environment is not only the responsibility of civic bodies or
government but it is the equal responsibility of every citizen and should make
it a mass movement. He stressed upon the need for making more efforts for
lessening air pollution level and maintaining ecological balance in New Delhi.
The
Minister administered oath to school students, teachers, morning walkers and
officials for ‘No to Single Use Plastic’. He also flagged off the teams of NDMC
School students for plugging drive in Nehru Park by starting plugging himself.
Meanwhile,
the school children performed a very informative Nukkad Natak to spread the
awareness about ‘No to Single Use Plastic’.
