Sustainable six: Tips to become a greener student

Building environment consciousness from the formative years is very important as it develops the sense of ecological responsibility in youngsters, which is highly necessary today. Professionals, organisations or governments’ initiative to protect the environment is a secondary attempt at stemming the damage done to our environment; the primary attempt should come from our global citizens individually.
