Trees, plants, and mountains are gradually decreasing on the earth, due to which oxygen is decreasing and carbon dioxide is increasing, so we need to reduce the level of carbon dioxide and increase the level of oxygen.

To reduce pollution, we must plant at least one sapling around our homes and take good care of it. In today's time, we should make maximum use of cycles and electric vehicles to improve the environment and reduce the production of e-waste and other waste and waste should also be disposed of in a manner, he further said.
