World Environment Day: Anambra First Lady calls for bold actions, support for green solutions

From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha

As the world marks Environment Day, Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo has called for more concerted efforts towards saving the earth from the ever growing climatic threats and environmental risks.

In a message to mark the Day, Mrs Soludo described the environment as the closest bond humanity shares with nature.  She noted that how humans treat the environment is really important hence the need to take certain actions and steps that would make the environmental habitable instead of constituting threat to human existence.

“What we give it, it gives us back. As concerns rise on human negligence to the environment which has caused so many harms to humanity and nature, we’re all called to action to review our attitudes toward the environment and save our planet from the growing climatic threats and environmental risks”.

“Today, as we join the global community to commemorate “World Environment Day,” we’ve been called to take bold actions, drive practical advocacies, and support green solutions for the overall wellbeing of our environment” she stated,

 

The Governor's wife  said   this year’s focus on #BeatPlasticPollution encourages humanity to adopt sustainable actions and spread awareness on stopping biodiversity loss, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, cutting down plastic waste, and ultimately saving our environment.
