world environment day 2021: quotes to inspire you to save our planet
Today, June 5th, marks the global celebration of World Environment Day. The significance of the occasion is that on this day various steps are taken by nations all around the world to educate and generate awareness among the masses about safeguarding our environment.
The theme of World Environment Day this year is ‘Ecosystem Restoration.’ The main purpose behind this is to reverse the degradation of ecosystems and the diversity of life. Furthermore, ecosystem restoration will help in improving the productivity and capacity of ecosystems to meet the needs of the present generation as well as the future generation.
A healthy ecosystem plays a key role in all of our lives. It enhances our livelihoods, counteracts climate change, and stops the deterioration of biodiversity. The best way to make a lasting difference is to join hands and focus on making collective efforts towards the betterment of the environment.
Here are some quotes to inspire you to conserve the environment for a healthy, safe and better future for all of us and further spread awareness about the same:
