“The Green and Clean Pakistan campaign’s aim is to make Pakistan pollution free and counter the effects of climate change. We need to save the planet for our future generations. We also need to conserve water and protect our environment. . Clean and Green Pakistan is a behavioral change movement which involves rethinking our relationship with nature. I appreciate this initiative and the organizer for their efforts towards green and clean Pakistan.”
“PSO believes in taking practical initiatives to support social and environmental issues and has always believed the fact that by doing a little individually; we can all do a lot collectively. Furthermore, PSO has also contributed Rs. 30 million to the Supreme Court and the Prime Minister of Pakistan fund for Diamer Bhasha and Mohmand Dams, as a contribution towards building water resources in Pakistan”.
The organizer of the event, Mohammad Omar Farooq, also said:
