World Environment Day 2012: UNEP calls for action

29.05.2012

World Environment Day 2012 will be celebrated on 5 June 2012, under the theme "Green Economy: Does it include you?". World Environment Day 2012, hosted by Brazil, will mark the 40th anniversary of the Day. The celebration began in 1972 and has grown to become one of the main vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) calls for action: organize a neighbourhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, plant a tree or better yet organize a collective tree planting effort, walk to work, start a recycling drive. The possibilities are endless!
