We need to be careful while using materials that harm the environment, such as plastic. We should limit the use of these harmful substances as much as possible, so that water, air, land and our atmosphere can remain safe.
Friends, World Environment Day is not just a one-day festival, but it should be a part of our daily routine. I try to limit the use of polythene, do you also do this? Do tell me.
