World Environment Day

Happy World Environment Day!!

World Environment Day was created by the United Nations in 1974 and since then, this campaign has helped raise awareness on important environmental issues throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Each year, a new theme is implemented to help people get engaged. Some past themes include prohibiting trade (2016), ‘Raising your voice, not the sea level’ (2014), and ‘Green Cities’ (2005). This year’s theme is ‘Connecting People to Nature’.

Worldenvironmentday.global is urging people across the globe to share a photo of your treasured spot(s) in nature on social media in accordance to this year’s theme. Here’s mine:
