Every year there is a new focus for world environment day and this 2019 year theme is Beat Air pollution. This is an action call to combat the consequences of Air Pollution.

Air pollution can’t be seen but it is present everywhere. It is affecting our health and the environment badly.

Households chores like the burning of fossil fuels, wood and other biomass, vehicles, industries harmful gases, agriculture waste, and open waste burning and organic waste in landfills are all causes air pollution.

Thus, to educate the people on environmental issues and encouraging them to adopt that methods and techniques that are useful for all. Because saving our Earth from depletion is our major responsibility being a human creature. The future of our planet is entirely in our hands and it is about time we realize the severity of the situation.
