As the world marks Environment Day today, the Daily Graphic sadly notes that there is little to celebrate or commemorate in Ghana since the country is still grappling with poor environmental sanitation. It notes that a clean environment begets clean beaches. The Graphic says while the earth encompasses all flora, fauna, the atmosphere and all that relates to it, the living environment which is key to enjoying good health comes first. The paper finds it unpardonable that at a time when the country must be making inroads into other sectors such as manufacturing and engineering, Ghana is still talking about how to manage the filth that has engulfed the country.
The Ghanaian Times urges Muslims to uphold the teachings of the Quran as they celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr to mark the end of the Ramadan. They must use the day to renew their commitment to the less privileged in society and engage in fellowship. The paper encourages Muslims to live in peace with one another and congratulates them for being part of a peaceful and united country.
