28 Save Environment

Our world is a beautiful place and it has sustained everything living on it for millions

change it.

The wonderful thing that’s happening today is that people are becoming more aware of
the needs of our environment and are showing signs of willingness to make a change.

When we talk about environment, it involves everything around us, not just the
weather. It includes all the animals, plants and the human beings living in this planet.
