The way we love our mother in the same way we should love our mother earth. SheWings has always supported and ran campaigns on this crucial topic – environment. We all have to be responsible for our actions of not destructing the beauty of the nature rather enhancing it with our controlled actions. On this day I would like to urge everyone to avoid and replace plastics as much as they can with sustainable and eco-friendly products”.
