We all have become a lot more conscious today about our environment and are trying to maintain a clean, healthy and safe space for other inhabitants around us. At times, it does become difficult to maintain the right balance considering we live in such a fast-paced world but each one of us must try to contribute their best in taking care of the ecosystem around us. I have made it a strong habit to not litter anywhere outside on the road because it’s extremely important to have a hygienic surrounding for taking care of our environment. Air pollution is a serious concern looming over our heads today and I ensure to get my car checked for the PUC regularly. This is something that every vehicle owner must practice without fail to have a cleaner breathing space. At our home, we also try to foster a positive and greener space around us. My wife, Amrapali Gupta has a lot of plants and herbs planted in our balcony which not only help in the ecosystem restoration in the smallest way but also radiate a spark of positivity around us.

I believe that the healthier our ecosystems are, the healthier the planet and its people will be. In the last few years, the number of natural calamities has increased at an alarming rate and has caused a lot of trouble and loss to the entire ecosystem. At this point of time, an ecosystem restoration is a great step towards saving mother earth and fighting against the drastic climatic changes, extinction of animals and lot of other factors too. However, this will only work if everyone plays a part in it. I have always tried to keep our environment safe by planting more trees in our society or local areas. I usually volunteer to be a part of the beach cleaning process and avoid littering in the rivers or ocean with any kind of waste material, which I believe every individual must practice. I have even stopped using any sort of plastic materials and replaced them with environment friendly products. I think if each of us contribute in some minor way to minimise the harm towards nature, we could really go a long way in saving the environment.

I am a farmer’s granddaughter and hailing from a farmer’s family, I totally understand why taking care of the environment is so important. I love gardening and have lots of plants in my house. I make sure I water them as and when required and take care of them like my babies. Honestly, having plants in your house radiates a very refreshing and positive energy. I still remember back when I was a kid, I had planted a tiny mango plant on my farm and even today when I visit my grandfather, he always tells me that the plant has grown into a tree and provides the most sweet and ripe mangoes. Every year I make sure that I get mangoes from that same tree. I believe it is everyone’s responsibility to take care and maintain our environment by planting trees in their society and in the area around and also by substituting other materials for plastic. There are a lot of trees in the city that nobody is taking care of and are almost drying up, people should volunteer to water them and maintain them.

I have always been very active for World Environment Day since my school takes us out to plant trees on this very day. Even I have been planting trees at my home ever since I got to know about the importance of restoring our environment. I think we all should not only plant trees but also make sure we don’t use plastics or throw any kind of waste on the roads, since it not only creates an untidy space, but is also very harmful for the street animals. I’m doing my bit every day and I keep asking my friends to also participate in keeping the environment clean. Since global warming is also an after effect of the pollution, I think like other countries we should also start using cycles and avoid excessive use of vehicles. There are so many things we all can do to improve our ecosystem.
