A great article in the newspaper: "The Nation". It was published on the World's environment day and pretty much summarizes the whole campaign and provides some solutions to the problems. A small extract from the article that I really liked is quoted here:
"Deforestation,
soil erosion and desertification add insult. But instead of giving due
attention to the growing problem, state institutions continue wasting
resources on stereotypical methods (named above) to highlight
environment-related issues. Addressing the problem practically has never
appeared to be a serious concern.
The level of pollution in Pakistan’s major cities of Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar is higher than the permissible limits. Lahore, for instance, has topped the list of most polluted cities, with highest air pollution level of 121.85 micrograms per cubic meter that is three times higher than the safe standards, according to the Pakistan Environment Agency (Pak-EPA) statistics.
We are daily breathing polluted air. "
