“Everyone is being negatively impacted by environmental pollution,” Hina Babar Ali said, “while to prevent it, we must all insist on planting more and more trees along with cleanliness.” During a detailed lecture on climate sustainability, Packages Limited Group Manager Sustainability Ayesha Aziz addressed the seminar and urged the students to play their own individual role in environmental sustainability.
“We all have to think about how we can individually discourage those elements in society that are adversely affecting our climate, if we collectively focus on such issues, we can easily play a positive role with the government in taking effective measures to tackle smog and other environmental problems,” Ayesha Aziz said.
“During a lecture on the emerging issue of smog in Lahore, Dr. Dirk, Chairperson of the Department of Environmental Science at FCCU, stated that such events in educational institutions can raise awareness about issues of climate change or global warming.
