World Animal Protection in collaboration with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, School of Environment Management, GGSIPU celebrates the World Environment Day on the Theme "Adapt to Green", bringing awareness on how our dietary habits can impact the quality of our life and life span.The event will have a celebrity guest influencer Nidhi Mohan Kamal, who would talk about "Importance of Plant-based diet" followed with a "Finger licking Green" tasting drive where companies promoting innovative plant-based food items would showcase their products, promoting a healthier option for masses. A plantation drive followed with various other activities would conclude this celebration for the occasion."This is an important time in the global history of mankind, where the pandemic has forced people to stop and ponder on many aspects; health and choice of food being one of them. This is an important campaign which brings awareness on the better options available to us and choose a healthier life by eating right; simultaneously contributing our share in reducing the carbon footprint. While we sensitise masses on the subject, we also bring back the thrust on changing the food systems which fuels animal abuse," said Gajender K Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection India."We have already started to witness the effects of climate change; we know we need to act fast and make wiser choices. What we put on our plates not only affects our health but the health of our planet as well. Choosing a plant-based lifestyle is, one small act of kindness we can do, towards our environment and millions of voiceless creatures," said Nidhi Mohan Kamal, renowned fitness & yoga trainer, plant-based nutritionist.The collaboration aimed to celebrate World Environment Day also focuses on our commitment to the global agreement on sustainable development in alignment to our vision of a world where animals live free from suffering - together we can move the world for animals."We are glad to partner with World Animal protection to bring awareness on compelling and thought-provoking issues that will define our future path for a sustained and greener world. The commitments made by us today will lay the foundation for our future generations and inspire them to adapt for better living, choices, to live longer. I wish to gift a healthier, greener and better world to this generation for them to carry this forward as a legacy for many years to come," said Prof. Rita Singh, Dean, USEM GGSIP University.If we look back in the past 50 years at half a century of debate, actions on sustainable development provided a mega platform for the environment movement. Rising Challenges in tackling pandemics, mitigating climate impacts, reducing threats to biodiversity and restoration of the degraded ecosystem are vital for human survival. Living sustainably in harmony with nature, adopting green towards achieving a green economy, green energy, green agriculture, and green development should be our target on World Environment Day for shaping new global business," said Prof. Prodyut Bhattacharya, convener of the programme, GGSIP University.- Our campaign Pledge page- To know more on our work- To arrange for an interview or for further details, please contact Nidhi Bhardwaj on: 9801178350 or email: nidhibhardwaj@worldanimalprotection.org.inOur vision is a world where animals live free from suffering - together we can move the world for animals.
