Environment Day (WED) is celebrated each year on June 5 to spread global awareness among the inhabitants of earth regarding Mother Nature. Each year this day is celebrated with a theme and this year the theme is THINK.EAT.SAVE

 

This year's theme encourages reduction of food wastage, which in turn will help save money and minimize the environmental impact of food production. It encourages people to be more aware of the environmental impact of their food choices.

 

Here are five things that you can do as a global citizen on World Environment Day:

 

1) Spread awareness: Inform everyone about this year's theme or spread awareness about the environment in general.

 

2) Build a small farm or garden: If you can, make and maintain a small farm or garden. Grow fruits, vegetables. Create a part of your garden where you grow edible plants and another where you can grow flowers.

 

3) Travel by public transport: Take public transportation on World Environment Day and vow to take it more often than you do. If you're already a public transport user, take a walk. You can also cycle. It's fun and a great way to exercise.

 

4) Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Renew, Recycle: If you're not already into this habit, it's a good day of the year to start. Take time on World Environment Day to learn about this concept. There are many things that you can do on a personal level, if you just keep these 5R's in your mind.

 

5) Publicize: Did something nice to protect the environment? Talk about it! Show off. Share pictures and posts on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Let people know what you plan to do and do it this World Environment Day.
