Father's Day

 


Father’s Day

Father’s Day is celebrated every year by families all around the world in their own way to recall and honour every single effort a father has made for his children.

It is true that a child needs a mother the most but he/she needs the father too. A father plays a very significant role in a child’s life.

As a matter of fact, the heart of a child has been beautifully and specially designed to respond to a father’s love.  If a mother carries a child for nine months in her womb then a father carries a child in his mind for seven ages.

A father works tirelessly throughout his life to provide the best of this world to his children. He shares the wisdom of his life with them holding a hope that they will make a better world in future.

Father's Day is a celebration to honour these sacrifices, dedication and selfless devotion of a father and fatherhood towards his family and children.

It is a gesture of affection and gratitude to the real heroes of children.

Happy Father’s Day!!!

World Environment Day

 



World Environment Day is celebrated on 5th of June every year-- the biggest annual event in the world organised by the ‘United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)’ to spread environmental awareness among the people. Its main aim is to raise awareness to protect nature and to try and resolve various environmental issues that are cropping up day by day.

 

This year’s theme is “Ecosystem Restoration”.

 

Every year World Environment Day is hosted by a different country in which official celebrations take place. Pakistan is the host this year. 


The government of Pakistan plans to expand and restore the country's forest through a campaign known as “10 Billion Tree Tsunami" that is spread over 5 years. The campaign comprises restoration of mangroves, forests and commencement of tree plantation drive in urban settings.

 

Fundamentally, the restoration of ecosystem can be achieved in many ways like growing trees and plants in cities, changing diets and keeping a strong check on harmful human activities and by cleaning up rivers and coasts. This way we can make peace with Nature and bring about a new positive change in the restoration process of the environment.

 

Active plantation of trees and curbing environmental pollution is the key factor for Nature to recover without human intervention.

 

The causes of degradation are many and can have a serious impact on the environment at different scales. As we know, some damages are seriously irreversible and it is impossible for the ecosystem to retain its original state intact forever. We need farmland and infrastructure to sustain the ecosystem.

 

Furthermore, an ecosystem can be restored by preserving forests, farmlands, cities, wetlands and oceans. Restoration initiatives can be launched by almost anyone from governments and development agencies to business communities and individuals.   

 

So, let us begin by volunteering and joining hands together to keep our unique planet safe for life to exist and flourish. Efforts like using an electric vehicle, lessening the use of AC, keeping a habit of ‘Switching off unnecessary appliances' can bring about a big change in this direction.

 

We ought to protect our Environment to 'Save Earth’ and the future of Mankind.
