World Environment Day

“Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care” is the motto of this year’s World Environment Day. The goal of sustainable development is to increase the quality of life for all people without increasing environmental degradation, and without compromising the resource needs of future generations. We can do this by shifting our consumption patterns towards goods that use less energy, water and other resources, and by wasting less food.

 

 

"In this year of transformation, when we hope to see great advances on sustainable development and climate change, let us celebrate World Environment Day by becoming more conscious of our ecological impact", states the United Nations Secretary-General. "Let us think about the environmental consequences of the choices we make. Let us become better stewards of our planet."
