Clean and green environment is a basic need. The environmental pollution in the form of air, water and land pollution, has severely affected life. For earth to survive, pollution must be tackled and reversed. Keeping the environment clean and green through elimination of pollution is of utmost priority to sustain a healthy evolution of life.

We are aiming for environmental sustainability, which is the responsibility to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems to support health and well being, now and in the future.

Agriculture forms the backbone of the economic system for many countries. In addition to preserving the Earth’s natural resources, sustainable agriculture benefits the environment by helping maintain soil quality, reducing erosion and preserving water.

Recent years have witnessed contamination of air by introduction of unwanted chemicals, biological matter and particulates which is harmful for living beings and causes damage to environment. Some of the most prominent reasons behind air pollution are the exhaust fumes from vehicles which are rich in carbon monoxide. The increased air pollution has had many adverse effects on human beings, other organisms and even the environment. Increased air pollution has resulted in global warming, which is posing a great challenge to mankind. Air pollution is the prime reason behind ozone depletion, a phenomenon capable of putting the life on our planet in jeopardy.

Clean air is vital to human health and the ecosystem. Although most air pollutants come from manufacturing industries and vehicles, but many come from everyday activities. Small changes in our daily routine can make a significant difference in the quality of the air we breathe.

Climate Change has caused increased heat, floods, and insect outbreaks. In turn, these changes have made wildfires more common and severe. Global warming has also caused a decline in water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, and triggered heat-related concerns in cities.

The most important reason to live sustainably is to simply safeguard the environment. It means ensuring its stability and existence for the future generations. Using eco-friendly products improves the quality of life in terms of mortality, age, disease and illnesses. They ensure the safety of families and the planet. The ecological lifestyle protects and preserves the planet’s environment by recognizing the uniqueness of different ecosystems and species.

Help Create a Safer, Healthier and Sustainable World for Generations to Come.

Water makes up 70% of the earth as well as the human body. This precious resource however, is depleting day by day. Human activities are the sole factor causing it. It is essential to use water wisely and carefully. However, we have been doing the opposite of this till now. Every day, we keep exploiting water for a variety of purposes. In addition, we also keep polluting it day in and day out. Furthermore, there are little or no facilities left for storing rainwater leading to more frequent floods. The need for water conservation is more than ever now.

Water is at the heart of sustainable development and is critical for social and economic development, healthy ecosystems, and for human survival itself. It is vital for reducing the global burden of disease and improving the health, welfare, and productivity of populations.

Preventing water pollution is important to assure a continuing abundance of water that is safe to use for ourselves and future generations. Efficient water use can also have major environmental, public health, and economic benefits by helping to improve water quality, maintain aquatic ecosystems, and protect drinking water resources.

Floods have huge social consequences for communities and individuals. They damage property and endanger the lives of humans and other beings. Rapid water runoff causes soil erosion and accompanies deposition of sediment at various locations, as well as fish spawning sites and other wildlife habitats, which may become polluted or completely destroyed.

The economic impact due to the cloudburst was tremendous in the form of loss of human and animal life, building and forest, loss of existing crops including fruits, and arable land, and loss of bridges. Over the long-term, as global warming accelerates, Arctic ice melt will lead to a sea level rise that will probably threaten coastal populations around the world. As the Arctic changes, it creates new opportunities and new challenges that will shape the region for decades to come.

Pandemics can cause sudden, widespread morbidity and mortality as well as social, political, and economic disruption. The world has endured several notable pandemics, including the Black Death, the Spanish flu, and human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Epidemics, endemics and pandemics- all have an undeniably significant impact on mankind.

Rehabilitation and rebuilding is vital to the health of many ecosystems and the livelihoods of communities across the globe. Ecological restoration can help sustain the rich diversity of human cultures on our planet by supporting relationships between humans and the environment that are mutually beneficial. Rehabilitation of ecosystem repairs and replaces the primary ecosystem structures and functions that have been altered or eliminated by disturbance.

Build Integrative & Regenerative Lifestyles, Communities & Societies.

Sustainable waste management reduces and avoids the amount of single-use plastic products along with increasing the amount recycled at the same time, which currently stands at just 8.5%. Compost promotes higher yields of agricultural crops.

The National Environment Policy aims to protect, conserve and restore Pakistan’s environment in order to improve the quality of life of the citizens through sustainable development. The objectives of the policy are; Conservation, restoration, and efficient management of environmental resources. Society must take action to protect the environment through recycling, reusing, and composting; making better transport choices; reducing electricity usage; buying local; donating to conservation groups; avoiding toxic chemicals, choosing sustainable personal actions, obeying just environmental law, and promoting sustainable arrangements

According to the Holy Qur’an, environmental conservation is a religious duty as well as social obligation, and not an optional matter.
