04 Jun 2022
The event celebrating World Environment Day at Don Bosco Tech Punalur on 4 June 2022 was a vibrant occasion aimed at raising awareness and fostering action for environmental protection. The program commenced with a prayer by Neethu at 10 a.m., involving 18 trainees and 3 trainers, symbolizing collective participation in this crucial cause.
Mrs. Gracy Francis, in her address, highlighted the significance of World Environment Day and emphasized the theme "Only One Earth - Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature." This theme underscores the urgent need for transformative, global action to safeguard and restore our planet. It reminds us that while individual choices matter, it is collective efforts that will drive substantial environmental changes for a sustainable and equitable world.
The event incorporated a thoughtful element where participants engaged in activities that directly connected them to nature's preservation. Encouraging students to bring and plant trees around the center not only added greenery but also symbolized a commitment to nurturing and protecting our environment. Additionally, activities like drawing pictures, writing essays, and composing poems encouraged creative expressions of love and concern for our planet.
The essence of the day's message resonated deeply with the idea that nature serves as an insightful teacher, offering lessons in stillness, resilience, and interconnectedness. By observing and reflecting on the natural world, we gain profound wisdom about science and ourselves, acknowledging nature's ability to heal and inspire.
The program concluded with a vote of thanks by Mrs. Geethu Angel, expressing gratitude to all participants and reaffirming the importance of collective action in environmental conservation. The day ended on a patriotic note with the singing of the National Anthem at 2:30 p.m., symbolizing unity and pride in our shared responsibility to protect the environment we live in.
