WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

World Environment Day is commemorated on 5 June every year, and it is the United Nation's initiative for encouraging Worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. World Environment Day 2020 is themed: "Biodiversity - a concern that is both urgent and existential. Recent events, from the bushfires in Brazil, the United States, and Australia to locust infestations in East Africa-and now, a global disease pandemic-demonstrate the interdependence of humans and the webs of life in which they exist. Nature is sending us a message." https://www.worldenvironmentday.global/about-world-environment-day

We all have our definition of the environment, well to me, the environment is the natural world in which we live, and reflect our attitude and expectations. Additionally, the environment provides everything human beings need to survive and advance:food, water, shelter, and natural cycles such as climate and nutrients.

Due to the increasing human population, we are knowingly and unknowingly causing damage to the environment, and consequently threatening our very own existence. But by working together we have a better chance of raising awareness, and protecting our environment.

We can all take part in the fight for a safe and healthy environment by joining forces with environmental organizations, or by contributing on an individual level. To honor this day, and fight for environmental protection, you can click on Help Mother Earth Heal and make a generous donation. By donating you are not just helping to fight tropical deforestation and climate change, but you will also earn a  "Stand For Trees" certificate from USAID.

Happy World Environment Day!
