World Environment Day - 5 June

World Environment Day (WED) is celebrated annually on 5 June and encourages awareness and action for the protection of the environment. It draws attention to environmental issues such as marine pollution, air pollution, deforestation, and wildlife crime such as poaching. 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
