On the occasion of World Environment Day, I wrote to the national newspaper to inform the general public of the ?Call to action?, highlighting their obligations as citizens of the world.

The article is as follows:

?This environment day, we will read the same articles talking about green initiatives, the state of the environment and how it deteriorates daily. We will see the same cries to go green and hear the same slogans to be eco-friendly.

But what speaks through all of this, and what most of us choose to ignore is the soft yet resounding call to action.

The call to pick up the trash when no one is around, the call to minimize unnecessary usage of water, the call to turn of electrical appliances when not in use.

Beneath all the hue and cry that is made from well meaning environmental activists, this message clearly shines through.

Going green is not an ephemeral fad that can be followed only by a select few it is the duty and obligation of us as human beings and citizens of the world.

It is only through the continued implementation of environment friendly practices that we can leave an Earth that is fit for the generations to come to inhabit.

And so as we go about our activities, let us take up the cause of the environment in its true spirit, not just on Environment day but throughout the year.?

I hope that through this article, people would be able to listen in more carefully to hear the soft yet resounding call to action and do their part.
