📢 Key Messages from Speakers:
🔹 Mukhtiar Ahmed Khan (Chairman, Sohni Dharti Youth Council):
“Plastic pollution is releasing dangerous gases into the air. These gases stop the sun’s heat from leaving the Earth, which causes global warming. We must reduce plastic use and promote eco-friendly bags made of cloth or paper.”
🔹 Romas Bhatti (Program Manager, HOSDP):
“HOSDP is always ready to support environmental activities. We believe in sustainable development and living in harmony with nature. We also want to educate people about the environment.”
🔹 Abdul Mateen Khan (General Secretary, Welfare Organization for Disabled Persons):
“Persons with disabilities are also part of this movement. We want to help protect the Earth and give a healthy and safe environment to future generations.”
🔹 Muhammad Rafiq Rajput (President):
“Environmental protection is not only the duty of NGOs. The local government must also work with social organizations. We should live a balanced life with nature, not just fight pollution.”
