Yesterday was the World Environmental Day, which focuses on encouraging awareness and action for the protection of the environment.
Many people think it doesn't directly concern them and leave it to environmental NGOs and activists.However, its a day that concerns us more than we can imagine.We inhabit the environment, so anything that affects it affects us. It reminds us that whatever we put in our environment finds its way back to us_physically, socially and mentally.Our tomorrow depends on how we treat the environment.If our environment is sick, our soil would provide less food, we wouldn't have a safe place to live and we might be forced to migrate.Which might lead to joblessness, social and mental issues such as, poverty, anxiety, frustration and sometimes suicide due to the inability to manage the stress from these events.Everything is interconnected and we cannot be indifferent to what concerns our environment.We are the land and the land is us.Even small actions such as proper waste disposal, tree planting and organic farming can go along way to preserve our land.It starts with you and me. Let’s make a change in our little corners.
