[GHHF ASSAM] Bala Samskar Students celebrated World Environment Day by planting 200 saplings to protect Mother Earth
“Ether, air, fire, water, earth, planets, all creatures, directions, trees and plants, rivers and seas, they are all organs of God’s body. Remembering this a devotee respects all species.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 2.2.41)
As many are aware, that United Nations started the program to protect the environment bay making people aware of the potential danger to the globe in terms of high temperatures, pollution, cold weather, draught and food shortages.
World Environment Day was established in 1972 by the United Nations at the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment (5–16 June 1972), that had resulted from discussions on the integration of human interactions and the environment. One year later, in 1973 the first WED was held with the theme "Only One Earth".
World Environment Day is celebrated in June 2025. Along with planting saplings to preserve the greenery that produces oxygen that helps humanity to breathe fresh air.
One of the main themes of World Environment Day is “Only One Earth”, focusing on “Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature”.
To protect the environment, Bala Samskar Kendra Students in Assam celebrated World Environment Day by planting more than 200 saplings. Students were very enthusiastic and enjoyed planting the saplings. Planting trees helps reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, prevent soil erosion, and create habitats for wildlife.
We need to remember that we only have one Earth and are running out of time to save our planet. Which is why the theme for this year’s World Environment Day — only one Earth — fits the world situation perfectly.
It focuses on the need to live sustainably in harmony with nature, and our possibilities for shifting to a greener lifestyle through both policies and individual choices.
UN Environment Program says, “We must shift from harming the planet to healing it. We must protect what we have & bring back what we lost to advance to a better, more sustainable future, where all species can thrive.
Therefore, World Environment Day calls for “collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet,” encouraging everyone, everywhere, to live sustainably and address the climate change.”
Hinduism and the Environment.
Christopher Framarin’s book “Hinduism and Environmental Ethics: Law, Literature, and Philosophy” breaks new ground in the field by being the first monograph to address the question of how Hindu philosophy can offer a coherent, systematic approach to environmental ethics. It presents careful, extensive, and original interpretations of passages from the Manusmrti (law), the Mahābhārata (literature), and the Yogasūtra (philosophy), and argues that these texts attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants for at least three reasons: they are sentient, they are alive, and they possess a range of other relevant attributes and abilities.
