How can we protect the natural environment around us?
We can protect the natural environment through various actions. At home: Reduce paper waste, say no to plastic, use natural materials, conserve water and electricity, and grow plants. At school: Plant trees, maintain a school garden, spread awareness about environmental protection, reduce waste, and participate in cleanliness drives. In parks: Avoid littering, protect plants and trees, avoid plucking flowers, and respect wildlife. In our locality: Organise tree plantation drives, participate in community clean-up activities, spread awareness about saving plants and animals, and support conservation efforts like protecting Sacred Groves.
