World Environment Day 2017

"Connecting People to Nature", the theme for World Environment Day 2017, implores us to get outdoors and into nature, to appreciate its beauty and its importance, and to take forward the call to protect the Earth that we share.

True!

Can we really say the same for third world counties?

EDITORS NOTE

The Environment has become a burning topic of discussion and debate in all public platforms. It seems with more discussions and awareness, the more the environment gets polluted. Isn't it a thing to wonder about?
Do we really know what this environment is? The Environment is not just the physical surrounding in which we live. It is the most important factor for human life. It is everything we see, feel and interact with, the air we breathe, the water we drink and use both industrially and domestically, the land we use for farming, erection of both residential and industrial infrastructures, the vegetation that gives us food, and all other living things. We must maintain the sustaining power of our environment by understanding it and practicing adequate environmental management. Maintaining a clean environment is important for a number of reasons; it promotes the growth of the natural ecosystem. This includes all forms of life.
