WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY JUNE 5




Did you know that WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY was established in 1972 by the general assembly of the UN? It's not Earth Day but still we should take notice. Each year the emphasis on World Environment Day is placed on a certain earth topic of crisis.
WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY is hosted every year by a different city and commemorated with an international exposition through the week of June 5. The UN uses WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY to stimulate awareness of the environment and enhance political attention and public action."

So, what is the topic this year? THINK "Melting Ice - A Hot Topic", climate changes and the effects on ice and snow-covered areas of the world.

June 5, it will be hosted by Norway and the main celebrations will be held in Tromsoe, a city north of the Polar Circle which is considered the gateway to the Arctic"
