The relationship between the man and the environment has been

established in the early periods itself. Human beings live in the kingdom
of nature and interact with it constantly. The influence of nature in the
form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, the food he eats, and
the flow of energy and information. Any change in the environment can
not only result in devastating effects, but can also pose a threat to the
human race.
5th June of every year is observed as World Environment Day to
emphasize the importance of green environment in our lives and
promote the worldwide awareness of the environment. The theme for
