World
Environment Day activities take place all year round and climax on 5 June
every year, involving everyone from everywhere. It is aimed at spreading global
awareness among the inhabitants of earth regarding mother nature. Each year
this day is celebrated with a theme and this year the theme is THINK.EAT.SAVE
According to
the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tons of
food is wasted. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed
hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily due to
hunger. Reduction of food
wastage will not onlyhelp save money but also go a long way in saving lives.
This year's
theme encourages environmental impact of food production. It encourages people
to be more aware of the environmental impact of their food choices.
Everyone
counts in this initiative and World Environment Day relies on you to make it
happen! Take an action today — stop food waste, organize a neighborhood clean-us,
stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, walk to work,
start a recycling drive . . . the possibilities are endless.
So what are you going to do for World Environment Day?
