Adviser to Punjab CM Mansha Butt on Friday said that people could keep the environment clean simply by adopting the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
He was addressing a seminar organised by the Environment Protection Department (EPD) Punjab on World Environment Day, theme for which this year is ‘Green Economy’.
Mansha said simple life provided solutions to our environment problems. “Our industries are emitting smoke detrimental to human life. We should adopt environment-friendly measures to keep our atmosphere clean,” he added.
Environment Protection Department Secreatry Saeed Wahla said nature could fulfill our needs but not our greed.
“Green economy means thinking out of the box and leaving behind the norm of business as usual. Green economy can only begin with devising green policies by the government for the business sector,” he added.
