We have to move ahead in the direction of protecting our environment to do justice with the job entrusted by the House,\u201d he said. He added that protection of our ecology is a question of our present and future generations and we have to work collectively in this direction.<br \/>\n\u201cThe environmental health is our survival and denial of this fact will prove to be disastrous if immediate measures are not taken to ensure its preservation. It is high time that each one of us in JK realize that the environment is our collective responsibility and everyone has a role to play in preserving and protecting it in every possible way with a sensible approach,\u201d he added.<br \/>\n\u201cWhatever the limitations in the present circumstances but there should be no excuses in asserting ourselves towards protection of our natural resources\u201d, he continued.<br \/>\nThe members also condemned the reckless felling of trees from time to time and warned that the elements of nature are all inter- related and has an impact on our very possibility to exist on this planet.<br \/>\nDuring the meeting, Khurshid Ahmad Ganie and its other members emphasized that the government should think seriously on climate action plan in order to address the environmental issues confronting us.
