World Environment Day is observed globally every year on the 5th of June to collectively raise awareness on the alarming situation of depleting basic but key resources like water and food and degrading air quality. Besides, this day is a call for positive action to combat the effects of terrestrial pollution, global warming and climate change. This deteriorating condition of the natural resources and environment is a result of unsustainable lifestyle choices and lackadaisical behaviour. To keep a check these deteriorating conditions, it is critical to promote and raise awareness on the importance of preservation of our natural environment.
With this aim, Maharashtra Urban WASH-ES Coalition engages State and local governments, community stakeholders, educators, students and various development sector specialists to promote sustainable WASH practices and prevent the dumping of plastic, non-biodegradable wastes, sewage and septage into the environment.
