Marking World Environment Day a campaign titled #StopTheMelt, raising awareness about the need of a greener and healthier Earth, was launched on Saturday by Discovery India in partnership with UN India and WWF India. As part of the campaign, a special film was released to ignite hope for a better tomorrow with the help of simple yet impactful call to action like tree plantation and avoiding plastics usage.
Marking World Environment Day on June 5, Minister of Environment Say Sam Al called on local authorities to encourage people to dispose of garbage properly to avoid harming people’s health and the environment.
“The environment ministry requests that the local authorities promote participation in sanitation, tree planting and packaging garbage properly to avoid improper burning of litter or disposal of garbage that may affect human and animal health and environmental quality,” Sam Al said in a statement seen by The Post on May 3.
Sam Al also suggested that ministries, institutions, schools, pagodas and hospitals all participate in disseminating these messages through poster competitions in schools, tree planting, cleaning and sanitation campaigns both inside and outside the premises of their facilities.
