June 5 is the World environment Day. This is a day for sober reflection and introspection on what is being done to our planet, our environment, our resources and eventually to the present life and the life yet unborn.

Planet earth – is unique as it is the only known planet in the infinite universe that supports life. Keeping this in mind, RSB Group celebrated World Environment Day on 5th June 2008 across all plant locations. The celebrations were started off by introducing World Environment Day with a presentation and short film to all its employees and by a plantation drive -planting 50 trees across each RSB plant. Even a PUC Monitoring of all vehicles in the company was done as a part of the save our environment drive.

On the Occasion Mr. R.K.Behera, Chairman, RSB Group, said -“I urge, that we all in our own little ways, individually and collectively, both in our professional and personal lives should endeavor to conserve our fragile environment. We should not waste and pollute precious resources like air, water, soil, fuel, electricity and material” He also said, “We should regenerate the environment by planting and nurturing trees wherever we can. & do whatever is humanely possible to save our environment and give our children a chance to live”

Today, human beings, the most intelligent species, out of greed to grab all the development and benefits in our lifetime, are recklessly exploiting the NATURAL RESOURCES. Much to the discomfort the harm caused by it is evident with the growing amount of Impure air, shortages of water, floods, droughts, declining soil fertility, rising temperature and ultra violet radiations. If humans do not change their habits, then in not too distant future, the damages caused to the NATURE will become so huge that NATURE will revolt with its fury and bring untold miseries and the world may cease to exist in the form which it is taken as granted today.

Industrial development is necessary for a better standard of living, it is required to wipe out hunger and bring a smile on the face of every human being, but it is required to maintain a balance. It is important for everyone to conserve and prolong the life of the non-renewable resources so that the harmful impact is minimal and tolerable and the tenure of life form on our beautiful planet is extended as much as possible. In short it is time to embrace sustainable development practices and encourage and motivate everybody to adopt this practice.
