Answer

In order to ensure environment protection an 'Earth Conference' was organised in $1972$ at Stockholm in Sweden.
  • Thereafter from time to time conventions and camps have been organised for protection of the environment at the global level and steps have been taken for environment protection.
  • India is also involved in these global efforts.
  • The Government is also making different efforts at the national level like:
$1.$ Information about pollution levels in different cities should be given.
$2.$ Central and state pollution control boards have been established.
$3.$ 5 June is celebrated as 'Environment day'.
$4.$ The government passed the 'Air Pollution Control Act' in $1981.$
$5.$ International agreements have been signed for halting the depletion of the ozone layer, disposal of nuclear waste and maintenance of bio-diversity.

  • If we do not control pollution, life on the earth will be doomed soon.
