WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY- 05 JUNE, 2019
(FROM THE DESK OF ENVIRONMENT CLUB)

‘BEAT AIR POLLUTION’

Our environment is our heritage and our legacy, that we have inherited.
Together, we can chart a path to a cleaner, greener world.
Dear Parents,

Humans are both creatures and moulders of their environment. In the long and tortuous evolution of humans on this planet a stage
has been reached when the rapid industrialization and man’s greed have disturbed the nature’s equilibrium leading to pollution of
water, air, land, food and noise. We can't stop breathing, but we can do something about the quality of air that we breathe. The air
pollution facts are alarming.
 Average people in India would live 4.3years longer if we maintain the air standards.

 India is the third largest in the emission of greenhouse gases after China and the United States. The severity of air pollution is
so much that life expectancy among Indians on an average reduces by 3.4 years while among the residents of Delhi it reduces by
almost 6.3 years.

 Approximately 7 million people worldwide die prematurely each year from air pollution, with about 4 million of these deaths
occurring in Asia-Pacific.

 92 per cent of people worldwide do not breathe clean. Nine out of ten people are breathing bad air.

‘World Environment Day is the biggest annual event for positive environmental action and takes place every 5 June. It is a call to
act to combat one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. The theme for 2019 is ‘Together we can beat air pollution’.
Let’s join our hand to practice some green ways-
 Try to commute with public transport
 Use renewable energy resources
 Plant trees
 Stop burning fossil fuels
 Clean up trash
 Reduce your needs
 Recycle as much as possible
