Yesterday was World Environment Day!! A quick look at why there's a day dedicated to the environment and what's special about it.....
Every year, June 5th is celebrated as World Environment Day (WED). It aims at creating awareness about the environment and spurring political action. It began in 1972 after the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment.
WED is a day when people unite for the common cause of making the world a cleaner and greener place to live in. From small initiatives by individuals to nation-wide policies by governments, June 5th is a call for citizens of the Earth to realize their responsibility towards their life-sustaining planet. This year (2011), India is the host country of WED.
WED was also significant for me- I began the implementation of my Environmental Consciousness drive! After the months of planning that have gone into this, I hope my project takes off and creates a lasting impact among the members of the target group.
Go green!
