World environment day 2023 Challenge

Hello all,

As a scientist continuously focusing on sustainable development, I am always curious to work with nature-friendly platforms. At work or at home, travelling or on staycation one thing that I always consider is not to disturb nature’s raw creation.

It makes me feel proud when I do my little to save water, electricity or fuel. It is a significant achievement even if the contribution is small because the most minor steps would amplify the effect. And our actions inspire others!

On the occasion of World Environment Day on the 5th of June, I am glad to announce the World Environment Day challenge with you all. Let us revisit the smallest of our actions towards saving the Environment. Let us revisit places which completely stunned you with their beauties. Let us look at different water conservation schemes. And how can they be located or considered on Google Maps?

Have you witnessed any of the Environmentally friendly places? Was it a restaurant? Was it a park? Was it a wedding?

I welcome you all to participate and write about your experiences and share beautiful posts dedicated to the Environment. Share your experiences with #WorldEnviroenmentDay2023 #SpeakForNature in your post.

Here is this beautiful capture admiring nature!

Wow a great post for sustainable development @Smita_Patil I loved the way you presented your beautiful post supported by beautiful pictures. As a scientist, your love for nature is clearly visible. I too am a great lover of trees and I always have a fascination for them. You could see a few of my posts are related to trees. Well said we should not disturb nature.

Thank you @Smita_Patil for this great challenge, that I am happy to accept (on my way).

You can find my post here: Flat Stanley Went to Italy - Environment Day 2023

Environment topic is so large that we really have a lot of different options to choose (I believe I could choose all of them :grin: ), so I am trying plan a long series of topic with my friend Flat Stanley to cover all the topics

Hey Thanks a ton, @MayuriKubal for your encouraging words. HP is also India’s first state which would become the first carbon-negative state btw.

I wish that instead of net zero 2070 vision, we make it as soon as we can. Lets hope for the best.

You are a true Climate Change Warrior @RosyKohli . Charity begins at home and who better than ourselves to align with sustainability development goals for ourselves and for the mother Earth?

Amongst the 17 goals designed by UNESCO many are revolving around plastic, in fact, the theme for this year is #Beat Plastic Pollution. You are doing fantastic work with Sustainability and the linear economy model.

I am so glad to hear about the routine you follow to throw the waste especially the plastic
