World Environment Day
World Environment Day
World Environment Day takes place every year on 5 June. It is the United Nations’ flagship day for promoting worldwide awareness and action for the environment. Over the years, it has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people in more than 100 countries.
This is our moment.
We cannot turn back time. But we can grow trees, green our cities, rewild our gardens, change our diets and clean up rivers and coasts. We are the generation that can make peace with nature.
Let’s get active, not anxious. Let’s be bold, not timid.
Get involved all year long by supporting these organizations:
Afri’Ka For Life: dedicated to recycling efforts and planting trees in Gabon, Africa
Madiba & Nature: dedicated to recycling plastic bottles and re purposing them in boats or furniture in Cameroon, Africa
The Green Belt Movement created by Wangari Muta Maathai, the 1st African Woman to win a Nobel Prize in 2014 for her work in helping communities combat deforestation by planting trees in Kenya, her home country.
