What is the relevance of the World Environment Day?

          The environment is all living organisms, climate, weather and natural resources interacting together in totality. Every being is comfortably placed in its environment so that it can flourish according to the laws of nature. Our environment is so crucial to our existence that inordinate human interventions can lead to devastating results. The World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5, tells us about the importance of the environment.

          Man has the distinct ability to create and mould his environment. The long evolutionary process that Man has undergone has endowed him with the power to transform his environment in countless ways and on an unprecedented scale. It provides him with physical sustenance, and offers him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and cultural growth.

          The focus of the World Environment Day observance is on the protection and improvement of the human environment, which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world. It calls for an enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises and communities in preserving and enhancing the environment.
