Theme: CONNECTING PEOPLE TO NATURE.
It is another important day in history yet more significant because it is the World Environment Day(WED).
The WED is the United Nations principal vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and actions for the protection of our environment and our earth at large.
First held in 1974, it has been a flagship campaign for raising awareness on emerging environmental issues from marine pollution and global warming, to sustainable consumption and wildlife crime and many other issues with plans to mitigate these issues as a global community.
Man is the moulder of His environment, a beautiful gift handed down by nature. This gives him physical sustenance and affords him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual growth.
Our environment is ours to preserve and protect in order to get the best out of it and make it retain its originality and high quality for future generations. This is a duty for the old, young, small, mighty, the strong and even the weak.
Happy Environment Day to the World!
