World Environment Day is observed annually on June 5 to preserve the environment and the global ecosystem. Around the world, people celebrate the day on June 5 of each year. Raising awareness of the growing environmental challenges is the goal of this day.
Apart from this, Bakrid in India will be celebrated tomorrow, i.e, on June 6, 2025. So, how about we celebrate both of them simultaneously, with eco-friendly habits for a more sustainable Eid al-Adha this year.
World Environment Day 2025: 5 ways to celebrate Bakrid with eco-friendly habits
• Minimise food waste: Methane, which is released when food waste breaks down in landfills, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. To prevent food waste and save the environment, it is crucial to plan your meals and shop appropriately.
• Make use of 'eco-friendly' products: A lot of traditional cleaning products include harsh chemicals that can endanger people, contaminate water, and hurt wildlife. Use basic ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice to make your cleaners.
• Drink water from reusable bottles: Single-use plastic bottles contribute significantly to pollution. Therefore, buy a reusable water bottle made of glass or stainless steel instead. This will save money and prevent plastic waste while still being convenient.
• Supporting seasonal and local foods: Selecting produce that is in season and locally produced lowers the transportation sector's carbon footprint. Additionally, it boosts the regional economy and farmers.
• Prioritise plant-based foods: Diets high in plants often have a smaller environmental effect than diets high in meat. During Eid al-Bakrid, adopting eco-friendly practices is a significant approach to cultivate gratitude and awareness.
Even minor modifications to our everyday lives can have a big positive impact, guaranteeing that the benefits reach not just the environment but also our future generations.

"Dulhan On Duty": Hina Khan's First Eid Feast As Bride Is Equal Parts Cute And Classy
Eid al-Adha had a little extra sparkle this year, thanks to newlywed Hina Khan. The television actress, who recently tied the knot with longtime boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal, gave fans a peek into her very first Eid celebration as a bride. On social media, Hina dropped some playful behind-the-scenes moments from her Eid prep. In one Instagram Story, she is seen sitting on a couch with two perfectly plated trays of cucumber and carrot slices. No glam team in sight, just "Dulhan (bride) on Duty," as she called herself with a smile. "Eid lunch preps," she wrote. Honestly, the healthiest Eid starter we have seen in a while. In another Story, she gave fans a glimpse of the table setup, and let's just say, Pinterest wishes it looked this good. A long dining table dressed in white and gold cutlery, regal royal blue chairs, and those crystal-clear glasses that scream fine dining at home. Eid vibes were high, and presentation? On point. "Eid Mubarak," she added a sticker. This celebration carries extra emotion for Hina, who is currently in remission after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Flashback to Ramadan earlier this year, and Hina's foodie side was already shining through. On March 3, she shared a fun clip with her cousin Manaan Meer, casually munching on chips and sipping tea during Sehri. The overlay read, " Yeh humari masjid ki azaan nahi hai" (This is not the Azaan from our mosque), classic sibling humour. Cut to Iftaar: the duo switch to a healthier spread of dates and fruits, with Hina writing, " Azaan toh azaan hoti hai, chahe kissi bhi masjid ka ho" (Azaan is Azaan, no matter which mosque it's from). View this post on Instagram A post shared by ???????????????? ???????????????? (@realhinakhan) She also shared a carousel during Ramadan, showing her table full of dates, pakoras, fruits, and chilled drinks, food straight out of a homey Eid dream. Her mother even made a cameo in a few pictures. "Ramadan Mubarak. Kaisi lag rahi hoon? (How do I look?)" she asked fans. " Sehri se iftaari tak ka khoobsurat safar. (The beautiful journey from Sehri to Iftari). Alhamdullilah. Dua mai yaad rakhiyega (Remember me in your prayers)," she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ???????????????? ???????????????? (@realhinakhan) Hina Khan's journey through this year's holy season has been nothing short of beautiful.
