We can share this message with our family and friends encourage them too. It will not only save money for you but will be beneficial in long run for saving environment.

We, as global family have responsibility towards mother earth,🌍 to nourish and save it. As its said in Gurbani :

ਪਵਣ ਗੁਰੂ ਪਾਣੀ ਪਿਤਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਧਰਤਿ ਮਹਤੁ ||
ਦਿਵਸ ਰਾਤਿ ਦੁਇ ਦਾਈ ਦਾਇਆ ਖੇਲੈ ਸਗਲ ਜਗਤ ||

Translation in English: Air is the Teacher, Water is the Father and Earth is the Mother of all. Day and night are the two nurses in whose lap whole world is at play.

Let’s join hands and fight against global threat, climate change. Every single act to save mother earth counts. Be a part of it.
