World Environment Day

June 5

June 5, every year is celebrated as World Environment Day or WED. The day is set aside to encourage awareness and action to protect the natural environment. It draws attention to environmental issues such as marine pollution, air pollution, deforestation, and wildlife crime such as poaching.

#Worldenvironmentday

Each year, WED has a new theme that major corporations, communities, governments, and celebrities adopt to advocate environmental causes.

“The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.” – Ernest Hemingway
“The Earth is what we all have in common.” – Wendell Berry
“One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken.” – Leo Tolstoy

HOW TO OBSERVE WORLD ENVIROMENT DAY

One of the activities of the day in some countries is to play or sing the Earth “Anthem” penned by poet Abhay K to celebrate the day.

Our cosmic oasis, cosmic blue pearl
the most beautiful planet in the universe
all the continents and the oceans
united we stand as flora and fauna
united we stand as species of one earth
different cultures, beliefs and ways
we are humans, the earth is our home
all the people and the nations of the world
all for one and one for all
united we unfurl the blue flag.
