Gift from Nature

The environment is Nature's gift to mankind. The surroundings we live in should be clean and green. The air we breathe should be fresh without any pollutants.

Unfortunately congested roads, air being polluted by fumes of vehicles and the many factories contribute much to the pollution. Thus there is depletion in the ozone layer, which protects us from the sun's ultra violet rays.

Of late, plastic is playing havoc, as it's not biodegradable. It blocks earth's layers from the rain. Animals eat the contents along with the plastic, leading to their deaths.

Therefore we have to take measures to protect our planet. By planting trees, we create a green house and this will go a long way in absorbing the air pollutants, hence decreasing air pollution. Factories must come under strict supervision. Use of plastic ware needs to be reduced.

Thus each one of us has a responsibility towards keeping our environment clean.
