What message do you have for the present and future generations?
Saurabh
Sood: For the present generation I can say using
more eco-friendly products, planting more trees, keeping your surroundings
clean, and educating your children about the importance of living with nature
can go a long way. For future generations the advice I have is to not
mindlessly abuse natural resources like the previous generations did. Come up
with innovative ideas to strike a balance between nature and human needs.
