Agartala, June 5: World Environment Day 2025, on June 5th, highlights “Beat Plastic Pollution.” The UN emphasizes urgent action against plastic’s harm to ecosystems and health. With the Republic of Korea as host, the event urges global unity—from individuals to governments—to reduce plastic, adopt sustainable choices, and secure a healthier future for our planet.
On the occasion of World Environment Day 2025, Samriddhi Multipurpose Co-operative Society Ltd, based in Indranagar, Agartala, conducted a tree plantation drive to spread awareness about environmental protection and sustainable living.
This year’s Environment Day theme — “Beat Plastic Pollution” — was prominently highlighted during the event, which included the planting of a variety of tree saplings and an appeal to reduce the use of single-use plastics. Staff, community members, and local youth participated in the green initiative, planting saplings in open areas around the office, roadsides, and residential surroundings.
President Sri Uttam Roy while talking with SLT news told that “Our environment is under threat, and it’s time to act. Planting trees is our first step. Reducing plastic is our responsibility”
The society also distributed saplings among members and local people and reusable cloth bags to participants to further encourage a plastic-free lifestyle.
This initiative aligns with global and local efforts to promote climate action, biodiversity, and eco-conscious practices.
