Yes, there’s a bigger scope for world environment day than these mere clean and green missions. Before anything lets all first know the significance of world environment day, let’s get the definition right.
World Environment Day has been laid for raising awareness and taking action on issues like,
- Poverty and human rights

In a country like India, where every year 10 million people die out of hunger, where a daily labor suffers round the year with heat waves and no shelter, Where a poor farmer dies because his crop dies either because of deadly heat or heavy rains.
And talking about mere pollution and slogans will not help them, In the process of rescuing the planet, poor a left behind in the journey.
With this World environment day let’s get a change, ‘let us plant trees care for the environment and help the poor’.
There is no climate justice if the poor are left behind.
Let us join hands together to help people with charities and Contributions so that the world can be a better place.
