We have threatened the existence of both human systems and natural systems, and it’s only a matter of time that our sins come back to us. The planet is choking and burning, and it’s about time we slow down the beginning of what is the very end.Earth is screaming for help, and this is the time to switch to a sustainable lifestyle. Reducing the use of single-use plastics and minimising stationary waste are some simple ways can help us achieve that end,”he said.

Using these eco friendly stationery and in general a sustainable way of life will help make a difference. After all, little acts of consciousness add up to significant changes. I congratulate the concerned HOD for the initiative,”he said.
