World Environment Day 2019
World Environment Day is the official United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. Since it began in 1974, the event has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in over 100 countries.
World Environment Day is Wednesday 5th June, can you help make a difference?
Although you may not feel like you’re making an impact, even the smallest changes can contributes towards better looking after the planet. If every person made one change we would be doing our bit! Making a change locally, contributes to changes nationally and globally!
The theme this year is all about Air Pollution, every person needs to play their part in making a change, things we can do include –
- Use public transport or car share, cycle or walk for some of your journeys
- Switch to a hybrid or electric vehicle and request electric taxis
- Turn off the car engine when stationary
- Reduce your consumption of meat and dairy to help cut methane emissions
- Compost organic food items and recycle non-organic trash
- Switch to high-efficiency home heating systems and equipment
- Save energy: turn off lights and electronics when not in use
- Choose non-toxic paints and furnishings
