Every year on June 5, the world observes World Environment Day to promote awareness of the need to solve environmental issues in order to ensure a sustainable future.Every year on June 5, we mark World Environment Day, which is a sobering reminder of our shared obligation to preserve and protect the environment. Since its establishment by the UN in the 1970s, World Environment Day has served as a global forum for bringing attention to and igniting action on important environmental challenges. Climate change is one of the biggest problems of our day; it is a global phenomena that endangers ecosystems, businesses, and societies. Although it is thought of as a natural phenomena, there have been notable shifts in global temperatures. The overwhelming body of scientific data suggests that human activity—specifically, the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation—has exacerbated these changes.
Every day, we produce carbon emissions via routine activities like using energy and driving automobiles, which have a major negative influence on the health of our planet and contribute to climate change. Overindulgence in carbon compounds exacerbates global warming, causing glaciers to melt, sea levels to rise, and extreme weather phenomena like droughts and floods. The extreme weather that is currently enveloping India is causing us to already notice these effects,” said Tanya Singhal, creator of SolarArise and Mynzo Carbon.
It is critical that we lower key pollutants’ concentrations and carbon footprints in order to lessen the effects of climate change.
Since you cannot eliminate what you cannot quantify, it is imperative that we comprehend the full magnitude of our carbon impact. People may lower their emissions by adopting thoughtful habits if they are aware. It’s not necessary to completely change one’s way of life for this. Instead, we can significantly lessen our impact on the environment by making small, consistent changes like using smart devices, reducing energy consumption, choosing public transportation or carpooling, adopting renewable energy sources, managing waste effectively, and supporting sustainable products, according to Ms. Singhal.
By doing these things, everyone of us helps to ensure a sustainable, healthy environment for everyone and protect the earth for future generations. Here, little is huge! And the only way we can make sustainability second nature and preserve the earth is if we consider every day to be World Environment Day,” she continued. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India is putting up billboards in cities all around the nation on World Environment Day 2024 with a clear message about being vegan, which scientists claim is the single most effective thing people can do to save the environment.
The meat, egg, and dairy industries destroy valuable forests to make room for the animals they exploit and slaughter as well as the crops they grow for food, all the while releasing greenhouse gases that exacerbate the climate crisis. As a result, our world is in peril, says Dr. Kiran Ahuja, Manager of Vegan Projects at PETA India.

According to the UN, “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global” is the raising of animals for food, and it accounts for nearly a fifth of greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans. According to PETA, the production of meat and dairy products, such as cheese and curd, is responsible for almost 60% of all greenhouse gas emissions linked to food.
