‘Be positive to the Nature. Save the Natural Resources to save the humanity and culture.’

World Nature Conservation Day is celebrated across the world on July 28 to remind us the importance of nature in our lives and why we need to conserve it. This day gives us an opportunity to raise awareness about the conservation of nature and encourage sustainability.

There are so many threats to nature like deforestation, illegal wildlife trade, pollution, using plastics, chemicals and a lot more. It is the need of the hour to wake up and realize the importance of conserving nature. A healthy environment must be created to safeguard the present and future generation.

Abiding by the motto, “In Complete Harmony with Nature”, the students of St. Joseph’s Senior Secondary School observed World Nature Conservation Day on the 28th of July in its true spirit.  We cannot deny that a world without nature would be uninhabitable. Nature is our support system and it is significant that we humans need to do our bit to conserve it. Sustainability is the key to save our limited natural resources so as our future generations continue to enjoy the wonderful bounties of nature that we are bestowed with.

‘The nature of our future depends on the future of our nature.’

In order to spread awareness among the students, the Primary II block of St Joseph’s Senior Secondary School, Sector 44- D, Chandigarh pledged to protect and conserve our natural resources through creative posters, paintings and informative videos with meaningful messages, with simple methods that can be implemented in our day to day life to make our lifestyle environmental friendly.

“There is a great need for the introduction of new values in our society, where bigger is not necessarily better, where slower can be faster and where less can be more.”

-Gaylord Nelson

The Josephians of Middle Block have always made earnest efforts in the direction of conservation of nature through its diligently designed activities.The students urged the masses to help save nature by designing posters with strong messages. The students spelled out the dire need to curb reckless use of scarce resources and save planet Earth via the medium of slogans.  They pledged to stand in solidarity and make sacrifices for a bigger cause to Save Earth for the future generations.

It was a real treat to the eyes and eye opener for everyone to see how the young students are concerned about protecting nature. Their efforts are really applaudable and commendable. As rightly portrayed by them –

‘In planting trees if you can take PAIN,

There will be more OXYGEN and abundant RAIN.’

The Principal, Ms. Monica Chawla motivated the students to follow the path of the five R’s- , Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle for a sustainable future. She reiterated that whether it is to save water, recycle and manage waste, use renewable sources of energy or to reduce carbon prints, the change has to begin with us.
