Our surroundings and nature are called an environment. The environment is everything around us. For example: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we live on, the animals, the plants, weather, etc. We need to clean our environment to live a healthy, happy and safe life.

Nepal is a beautiful country with big rivers like Gandaki, Koshi and Karnali and tall

mountains like Mt. Everest and other Himalayan ranges, and forests too. But sadly, our environment is getting polluted: getting dirty and damaged. Rivers are polluted with garbage and plastic bags, forests are being cut down and destroyed by fire, and the air around us is filled with smoke. The quality of air is degraded by the smoke of vehicles and industries.

If the environment pollution does not stop, many animals and spieces will lose their home or disappear like dinosaurs. We will get sick from polluted water and air. There will be floods and landslides, changes in weather due to land pollution and destruction of forest.To prevent environmental pollution, we must change our habits first. We should throw garbage in the dustbin or recycle it if possible. We must plant the trees for clean air and protect our soil.Vehicles and industries must use filters to produce less smoke; we shouldn’t burn plastic or garbage. We must focus on eco-friendly products in our daily life like paper bags.

Environment day is celebrated on 5 th of June world-wide to raise awareness to protect our mother earth. It is celebrated to raise awareness and take action on

problems like pollution, climate change, deforestation and bio diversity.
