Awareness is one of the most important parts of that."We have over 100 workers today taking part in the campaign, and we have divided the city into five major zones.

We need to create those schools. Decentralizing waste management should be one of those priorities. We did the same initially. We started with cleaning up the track routes, just like a temple, hospital, or school. We need to create waste management centers. Let's not stick to World Environment Day to highlight plastic pollution; every day is World Environment Day to preserve the fragile ecosystem of the Himalayas. We must do it on a daily basis to make it a lifestyle, and mission life also focuses on it. Also, I would like to say that we should stop littering," said Pradeep Sangwan, an environmentalist.The Chief Minister said that Himachal Pradesh aims to be the first green state in the country."This year, in our first budget, we have made provisions to make Himachal Pradesh a green state.
