World Environment Day: 14 Alarming Facts About Our Environment

On World Environment Day, we’ve decided to bring out some 14 alarming facts about our environment.

We have only one earth and let’s face the fact, we’re treating it miserably. The worst that can be done to our environment is happening right now and the people who are fighting against it, are too small to catch the grenade that’s coming our way. There are some who don’t care about it, some who don’t believe in it and the number who is actually trying to save it, is too little to even take into consideration, but their fight is going strong and that matters. More and more people are coming together to change the condition of our planet and are doing their best to make people aware of all the possible threats our planet is facing.

Every year on 5th June, the entire planet celebrates World Environment Day and do their best for the environment.
