Illustrated by : Meghana, Airlines Customer Service officer 

A one month digital program has started on dated 05 May 2020 so as to generate awareness and encourage accountability for environmental protection under 10 years digital campaign  'Swapnil Saundarya Decade of Action for SDGs', launched on 27th of April 2020 by handicraft products manufacturing firm 'Swapnil Saundarya Label' to strengthen the Sustainable Development Goals (Global Goals).

While highlighting the program that will continue till June 05, 2020 i.e International Environment Day, Painter-Writer  Rishabh Shukla said that we are all in deep grief because of  the negative effects of Covid-19 pandemic. There are countless downsides to the world's getting walloped by the corona virus and being put under severe lockdown.But the whole nation is striving to combat this pandemic with solidarity and fearlessness.

But if we look at the positive aspects of lockdown to halt the spread of Covid-19, then the pollution level across the country has come down considerably. People are sharing pictures of clear blue sky on social media. Considering the positive impact of lockdown on the environment, it is just to say that if we start a new shift of life even after the lockdown with some strategic plans and a vision for a better environment then  we will be able to continuously improve the condition of our environment even with small actions leading to a great impact.The current crisis has shown us that clear skies and breathable air can be achieved very fast if concrete action is taken to reduce burning of fossil fuels. We don't yet have a democratic demand for clean air. But the experience of blue skies and fresh air could be a trigger to create a democratic demand for clean air in India.Crises often trigger life changing reforms.

Fashion-jewelry designer Swapnil Shukla, while expressing her views on environmental protection, stated that there are three main laws related to pollution: The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution)Act 1974 and the Environment (Protection) Act 1986. strict enforcement and implementation of these acts is mandatory for a better tomorrow.

Brother-Sister duo Rishabh and Swapnil Shukla have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to implement some of the fundamental points related to environmental protection through an open letter.

Airlines Customer Service officer Meghana said, sometimes we should look at the positive things even if we are going through the worst time period. I am not going to tell Dos and Do Not’s for environmental protection as everyone knows about it . We have to do this for ourselves and for our family. If everyone will think and take action for environmental protection together then it will leave an everlasting positive global impact."

Bengaluru based IT Team Lead Mahesh Siddhanna Magi said, “As we take care of ourselves and our family likewise we have responsibilities to taking care of ‘living medium’ known as environment . its human who are responsible for such huge damage. We have to be as kind as mother earth towards the environment keeping it safe for ourselves and other living species."

Mumbai based Dentist Dr Dharam Popat while sharing his views about environmental protection said,“we have to distance ourselves from using plastic products as much as possible. As a dentist , I have switched to paper glasses and autoclavable stainless steel glasses. Not using the head shower and using bucket and tumblr instead to conserve water ."

Mumbai based Business Analyst Alok Agarwal said,"Our consumerist culture is the main culprit. Wastage of food especially adds enormous pressure on the environment. We need to be mindful of what we consume and avoid excesses and wastage as much as possible. Second important aspect is the uncontrolled population explosion, especially in the developing nations of Africa and Asia. More people means more resources to feed, house, clothe and entertain these masses .."

Dubai based QHSE Consultant Pranav Shah suggested to ban plastic products in home , encourage people to use jute bags for shopping and re use of old clothes for making floor mate and other periphernalias. 

Architect Anshul Mishra from Bhopal said, “ I am making an appeal to people to opt a sustainable lifestyle. A human needs at least seven trees to live a healthy life. So, we should plant at least seven trees around our houses and take care of them."

BBA Student Aaradhy Kaushik said, “it is just to say that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world .The only thing we all have common is ‘Earth’ and its our responsibility to protect our environment at the fullest. If we come together and make a mind, we can and will definitely make the change. Without the ever green environment we couldn’t even think for living a single day."

Discussing the upcoming plans of this digital Program, Rishabh Shukla said that soon we will try to enlighten the masses about the Simple Ways that can help save the Environment in our daily life  through the confluence of documentary films, art, literature and will conduct a digital signature campaign globally.
