Gurugram, Jul 12 (UNI) Setting a target of 1.37 crore saplings for the nationwide tree plantation drive for Central Armed Police Force (CAPF), Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday participating the event and planted a sapling at Central Reserve Police Force's Group Regimental Centre here.
Stressing on harnessing the natural resources but not to exploit them, Mr Shah said our sages had long ago emphasised that one must not exploit nature but instead must support it but now a day, due to consumerism, this balance has been disturbed and as a result we have been facing the challenges of Climate Change and Global Warming.
Due to exploitation of nature, the ozone layer has been depleting and we have been emitting more carbon di-oxide and carbon mono-oxide into the environment and without the ozone layer life will not be possible, he added.
