Today is World Environment Day.The world environment day activities are being organised in every country.The most dominant agenda on the occasion is climatic change.How to ensure that climatic variations do not have adverse impact on the environment?The environmental organisations,NGOs and other organisationa are busy deliberating on the strategies to arrest environmental degradation.Sustainable development is also a big issue on the occasion of World Environment Day.How the local communities can ensure sustainable development in their areas so that ecological balance is maintained?In India the World Environment Day has its own significance as the civil society is very strong.Environment is a major concern before the civil society.The cooperatives which have a huge network in the rural areas are also concerned about environment.There are many rag-pickers in India who are exposed to environmental hazards as they are involved in collecting the waste material in urban and semi-urban areas.The world environment day activities should be more organised in the local areas,towns and cities.The environmental concerns in the local areas are totally neglected.
