Environment Day Celebrations
Nagpur, June 7 World Environment Day was celebrated in New Era School with great fanfare
on June 5. The main purpose of the celebration was to spread awareness about the need to
protect the environment and the ways to do it.
The day was flagged off by a tree plantation drive in the locality. 300 quick-growing trees,
which do not need much water on a daily basis, were planted near the school wall and in the
surrounding area. An eminent environmentalist, Mr. A.T. All spoke on the ways to protect the
environment. He also judged the Posters and Photographs' exhibition and gave away prizes
for the best entries Environmentally-friendly articles like disposable plates and cups made
from bamboo and banana stem, bags made from leaf waste, etc. were on sale. Students
gave continuous powerpoint presentations on the threats to the environment. Last but not
the least, was the spirited debate on the topic Man: The worst enemy of the Environment'.
All in all the day was a great success, and has certainly made a difference to the way we view
our environment
