Awards were presented for students and companies who contributed to make a huge impact on the environmental development of the country. Speeches were delivered both in Sinhala and English to convey the speciality in having allocated a day to reflect on climate change along with the entire world. Environmentalists brought out their ideas and information on saving energy, targets to be achieved and the importance of saving water resources throughout the country. They also pointed out that much attention should be directed to save water resources in rural dry zones, which is a fact most of us rarely think about. 

An entertainment session wrapped up the event with songs sung by students on environmental and saving earth. 
The walk assured that 100% clean environment is a target we all are in a position to achieve if we put our heart and strength in working towards this goal.
