Bongaigaon Times : 05 June 2023:

World Environment Day 2023: 05th June. Let's all Pledge to adopt an Eco-friendly lifestyle.

The theme of this year's Environmental Day is "Ecosystem REstoratiom" under the campaign #beatplasticpollution. It is a reminder to stop using plastic as it dangerously harms our nature and slowly making non-irreparable damage. This year's focus will be on plastic pollution and how to manage and prevent it.

Plastic clogs our landfills leaches into the ocean, and is combusted into toxic smoke, making it one of the gravest threats to the planet.

Not only that, what is less known is that microplastics find their way into the food we eat, the water we drink, and even the air we breathe. Many plastic products contain hazardous additives, which may pose a threat to our health.

The day is hosted by Côte d'Ivoire and supported by the Netherlands.“Plastic pollution and its detrimental impacts on health, the economy, and the environment cannot be ignored. Urgent action is required. At the same time, we need true, effective, and robust solutions,” said Vivianne Heijnen, Netherlands’ Minister for the Environment. “As part of several policies aimed at plastics, The Netherlands and the European community at large are fully committed to reducing the production and consumption of single-use plastic, which can and must be replaced with durable and sustainable alternatives.”
