 Early Times Report
Akhnoor, June 3: We The Human, a registered public charitable trust, conducted a dental check up of students and teachers of Shemrock Apple Orchid School Akhnoor.
Apart from senior resource persons of the trust PK Ganjoo, S Prem Singh, B D Chowdhary, Jyoti, Director of the school Shilpa Mahajan, a team of senior dental surgeons from Brite Smile Dental Clinic, parents of school children were also present on the occasion.
Addressing students and parents of the school, PK Ganjoo, founder member of the trust, made them aware about hazards related to use of plastic goods in our life. Plastic being non biodegradable up to 500- 1000 years was causing a great loss to our environment, cattle life, ocean creatures as well as to human lives also. Plastic polythene, packaged water in plastic bottles become a nuisance and cause for threat to human as well as animal's lives. Being, non biodegradable up to 500-1000 years, people burn plastic polythene and plastic bottles which add to green gases causing further deterioration to the ozone layer. Consuming of plastic polythene along with waste material by cows, becomes a cause for mouth cleft disease to newly born babies who consume milk of such cows. Even fish we eat sometimes have plastic in their bodies, which un-deliberately is consumed by us.
Shilpa Mahajan, while appreciating activities of We The Human in spreading awareness about serious environmental issues, exhorted students and parents of the school to be part of the International Environment Day on 5th of June, which has the theme " Beat the Plastic" and save this world. |
