Hi everyone, as we all know that today is World Environment
Day, every year it is celebrated on 5th June. It is united Nation’s
principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of
our environment. It was first held in 1947, it has been a flagship campaign for
raising awareness on emerging
environmental issues from marine pollution, human
overpopulation, and global warming, to sustainable consumption and wildlife
crime. World Environment Day has grown up to a global platform for public
outreach, with participation from over 143 countries each year.
India is the global host of 2018 world Environment Day, with
‘’Beat Plastic Pollution’’ as the theme for this year edition, the world is
coming together to combat single-use plastic pollution.
‘’Beat Plastic Pollution’’ the theme for world Environment
Day, urges governments, industry, communities and individuals to come together
and explore sustainable alternatives and urgently reduce the production and
excessive use of single-use plastic pollution our oceans, damaging marine life
and threatening human health.
·
Every year the world uses 500 billion plastic
bags.
·
Each year, at least 8 million tonnes of plastic
end up in the oceans, the equivalent of a full garbage truck every minute.
·
In the last decade, we produced more plastic
than in the whole last century.
·
50 percent of the plastic we use is single-use
or disposable.
·
We buy 1 million plastic bottles every minute.
·
Plastic make up 10% of all of the waste we
generate.
Every year World Environment Day comes every year we make
new quotes, new slogan’s, new assumption’s, new article’s posted, new blogs
written but hence after all these thing’s the pollution is still increasing day
by day, because these things not ever going to effect until we come to know
what are our responsibilities toward our planet earth. Everyone of us should do
atleast small steps to save our environment because one day the time has been
gone.
