The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." ~Ernest Hemingway
Every June 5th is a day used by the United Nations to stimulate worldwide awareness of environmental issues.
World Environment Day began in 1972 as a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.
It is a similar celebration to Earth Day which is held every April 22nd - most of the activities for Earth Day are suitable for World Environment Day too.
