Earth out of balance
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Restore harmony

In association with DIEMR, DAV Centre For Environment Education and DAV Centre For Creative Education have decided to celebrate World Environment Day on June 5, 2008. As part of the activities for the day a poetry book on environmental concerns and issues will be printed which will consist of selected poems penned by teachers, parents and students of DAV schools. Entries from students of non-DAV schools are also welcome.

The objective of this publication is to educate learners and the community about environmental concerns, responses to these concerns, and promote responsible environmental behavior through poetry.

In reviewing the entries, the judges will look for understanding of theme, originality, ability to convey a concept, and creative thinking and writing. The creator of each published poem will receive a certificate in addition to being featured in the book. The poets are free to choose any topic on environment that is of relevance and concern these days.

 Some topics to ignite the creativity of contributors are listed herein:

Eco-shockers, trees, global warming, forests, wildlife, glaciers, climate change, renewable energy, water conservation, smog, pollution, noise, dust, odors, fumes, exhausts, mangroves, vanishing wildlife and plants, floods, landslides.
