E-POSTER COMPETITION ON POLLUTION FREE DIWALI

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights is one of the major festivals in India.

LAUNCH OF LIFE MISSION - A GLOBAL INITIATIVE BY INDIA

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UN secretary general Antonio Guterres on Thursday launched Mission LIFE (Lifestyle For Environment) a global initiative by India to combat climate change and make it a people's movement across the world. Modi said at a time when the world is being sought to be divided into rival and antagonistic blocks, the mission can be a unifying bond as he highlighted the need for all countries to come together to address the "emergency" of climate change. Mission LIFE aims to change people's collective approach towards sustainability.

Addressing a gathering after the launch of Mission LiFE at the Statue of Unity, PM Narendra Modi said, "Now we are living in a world where there are talks of which country is with which nation or against which nation or group. But Mission LIFE (Lifestyle for Environment) brings everyone together as pro-planet people." Heads of 11 countries have praised the Indian government for taking this lead.

Invoking Gandhi's words that "the world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed", the UN secretary general said, "This perfectly captures the situation we face now and, unfortunately, greed is prevailing over need. We need to reverse this trend. The plane is ready to support each and every one of us. But we must treat its resources with wisdom and respect."

CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Polar ice caps are melting as global warming causes climate change. We lose Arctic sea ice at a rate of almost 13% per decade, and over the past 30 years, the oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic has declined by a stunning 95%.Human activities are at the root of this phenomenon. Specifically, since the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions have raised temperatures, even higher in the poles, and as a result, glaciers are rapidly melting, calving off into the sea and retreating on land. These causes threats to animals living in that region.
