Uttarakhand Governor KK Paul asked people today to collectively resolve to stop the pollution caused by plastics if they wished to conserve the earth for posterity.
"For the safe future of our children, the earth must be protected and conserved. We must collectively resolve to make efforts towards this," he said in a message on the eve of World Earth Day celebrated on April 22.
The theme for the occasion this year is "End Plastic Pollution" and everyone must contribute towards achieving this goal, Paul said.
"Plastic is polluting our forests, rivers and oceans. Its ill-effects were being felt on human life. Earth for Indians is equivalent to "mother" and we must save it for posterity by changing our behaviour towards it," he said.
The governor asked people to reduce carbon footprint, use minimum of paper, plant trees, use CFL or LED bulbs, save water and use recyclable products.
