Rajasthan Patrika, Danik Bhaskar, Mahka Bharat, June 06, 2008
Consumer
Unity & Trust Society (CUTS), appointed as the Regional Resource Agency
(RRA) by the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), organised an
awareness rally of students on June 05, 2008, on the occasion of ‘World
Environment Day’. Students from Chandra Public School, Srinivas Nagar,
Vishwakarma, Sikar Road participated in the rally. The rally started at
11.00 AM from Ram Mandir, Bani Park, Jaipur and reached Railway Station
Circle. Students enthusiastically participated in the rally and raised
slogans to spread the message of environmental protection and generate
awareness among the people.
As
the rally came to an end at the Railway station Circle, students urged
the traffic police to put on ‘Pollution Masks’ and spread the message of
safety against the presence of poisonous gases in the atmosphere.
The
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has suggested the theme
‘Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy’ for this year’s World
Environment Day. The carbon-di-oxide and other poisonous gases
responsible for global warming, unpredictable climate and changes in the
nature are increasing due to enhanced traffic resources, pollution and
misuse of energy sources.
