The planet pays the price for constant trends, overproduction, and mindless consumption. Forests are cleared, water is poisoned, and ecosystems collapse\u2014all for momentary style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is heartening to see that the students and teachers at The Heritage School North Campus, the best CBSE co-ed school of Dehradun, are aware of these threats to the planet we call home. They are restrained in buying, and they focus on maintaining what they own. They believe that even the smallest acts make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The future is watching our choices. Buy less. Choose wisely. Demand sustainability. Fashion should express identity, not destroy the Earth.
