CHANGE BEGINS AT HOME

Before saying that western countries are cleaner than our country, we should first look at our deeds. Each and every citizen should contribute to make this planet a place to live and not to dump. The government should ban single-use plastic items and support initiatives on zero waste lifestyle and environment friendly substitutes for plastic. The civic bodies should make composting compulsory and join hands with the non-governmental organisations (NGOS), who offer free training to make compost. Schools and colleges should educate students on life style changes for sustainability. You just have to be a human from the core of your heart to bring about a change. Madhusudan, Jalandhar
