Today is world Environment day.......(5 JUNE 2012)
The World Environment Day is observed every year on the 5th of June. As such, it
will be held on the same date in 2012. This day is special because it is the
occasion when the United Nations (UN) creates a worldwide awareness of
preserving the environment. However, it is not a public holiday.
World Environment Day is the day for global
action and resolution toward keeping the environment healthy for one and all.
There are campaigns, processions and parades to make this day eventful where
special importance is given to tree-planting and clean-up campaigns so as to
create an eco-friendly environment.
The United Nations Environment
Programme focuses on creating a cleaner and greener environment. Under this
initiative, activities are carried out throughout the year. However, World
Environment Day is the occasion when the activities reach the climax. The UN has
been taking special initiatives and observing this day since 1972.
Theme of the World Environment Day 2012
The World Environment Day 2012 theme is Forests: Nature at Your Service. The
purpose of this theme is to see that special importance is given to forests by
different countries. In fact, this is the reason why the United Nations has
declared 2012 as the International Year of Forests.
