Yanger Jamir in his speech spoke about his practical experiences of observing world environment day. He said when people hear about World Environment Day, they think about planting trees and saving trees, but he asserted that trees should not just be planted for media publication. Instead, he said, we should ensure that the trees survive and benefit us in return. He said, each of us should realize the need to keep our surrounding clean and have a sense of responsibility towards our environment. He further suggested that it would be so beneficial if various Government Departments club together (in three or four groups) to adopt a village for sustainable development.
