‘We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment.’

Dear Parents

The word ‘environment’ is synonymous with surroundings. However, when people think of ‘the environment’ they think of the natural environment. They envision trees, animals, and the landscape. While the environment and ecology are not synonymous, they often go hand in hand.

When a child studies about environment in the classroom he/she may study ecosystems and ecology, ways of saving the environment, conservation, animal habitats, the food chain and geography. The environment includes all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth. It is the environment that encompasses the interaction of all living species, climate, weather and natural resources and also the surroundings that affect human survival and economic activity.

The effects of pollution are not confined to the environment. The potential for damage to historical monuments has already been realized. Preservation of our innumerable ancient monuments plays an important cultural role in cultivating pride of our heritage and past. In fact, our varied and multicultural inheritance makes us unique in the world. 

 To raise awareness about the significance of a healthy environment, Delhi Public School – Rohini is celebrating ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES WEEK from Monday, 23 July 2018 to Friday, 27 July 2018.

Various fun- filled activities have been planned for Classes II - V to make this week an enriching combination of appreciation of our natural world and human impact on its integrity.

The details of the activities are attached alongwith.

WE SHOULD TRY TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT…. Let us join hands in making our children better citizens…

• Be proud of your country and its beautiful and diverse heritage.
• Work hard towards becoming an integral part of your school and society.
• Love and always help your family and friends.
• Respect elders, anywhere…everywhere.
• Paper can be recycled and disposed off easily but remember that paper is made from trees which are important to our environment.
• Littering is not just an irresponsible act but it makes our surroundings look ugly too. So bin it… or keep it and then bin it.
• By polluting water bodies we are not only stealing the beauty of this limited resource but also spoiling it for ourselves too. Use it judiciously!
• Explore the idea of purchasing energy-efficient appliances at home. They might cost more upfront but in the long run will save money because they use less energy.
• Reduce the use of car travel and consider using public transport, walking, car pooling instead.
• Cherish the rich history, traditions passed on to us by our ancestors and abide by the rules and regulations when visiting a historical site.
• Be compassionate towards the needy and the animals.
• Examine and interpret the environment from a variety of perspectives - physical, geographical, biological, sociological, economic, technological, and historical.
• Develop concern for our environment so that it leads us to act at our own level to protect the environment we all live in.
• Donate whole-heartedly!

Looking forward to your whole- hearted support and cooperation….as always!
