Poongothai Aladi Aruna , the Minister for information and Technology was speaking at the inauguration of a ‘Change Climate Change` Coalition (CCCC) organised at Stella Maris College by Exnora International and the Tamil Nadu Girls NCC as part of the World Environment Day celebrations

Environmental action groups must move beyond  the 3Rs of reduce, reuse and recycle to that of reflect, rethink and request others to practice sustainability. Policies must ensure growth does not compromise on environment.  She said.

What we need now are goodwill and action. Environment day is not something to be celebrated for a day and then forgotten. Importantly sustained follow up is essential to effectively implement the planned programme of actions.
