Earth Day

Earth day is a day to learn about the planet and how to take care of it. It is important to take care of the earth so that all living things will not perish.


"Save The Earth" means to keep the earth clean and green so that all living things can survive.



It is important to reduce, reuse and recycle because :




1) We can save the trees by recycling and reusing papers. Recycled paper uses less energy and water to produce. The process also produces less air and water pollution. One ton of waste paper is equal to 17 trees.


2) We spent $1.8 m to deal with our waste. Minimise waste makes economic sense.


Each of us can make a conscious decision and effort to make green practices and green consumerism an integral part of our daily lives by taking stock of our lifestyle in the areas of:

Clean Environment- living in a clean & pest-free environment,

City of Gardens & Water- saving water, planting a garden and conserving our greenery,

Energy Efficiency and Resource Conservation-practicing energy efficiency, waste minimization
