World Environment Day (WED) is a day we all need to put in our dia­ries. It happens on June 5 every year and should be one of the most impor­tant days of the holiday calendar. WED was created in 1972 by the United Nations General Assembly. The environment wasn’t such a big issue back then. It is one of the hottest topics in the world today. WED helps raise worldwide awareness of the threats to our environment. Many environmen­tal agencies organize events based on different themes each year. These events encourage both governments and local communities to work togeth­er. This ensures environmental problems are tackled from a grass roots level and at a presidential level.

Many people in rich countries are aware of today’s environmental is­sues. Even though many of the world’s citizens know the issues, too few people do enough to combat them. Perhaps the most serious issue is global warming. WED could be the day to start changing our lifestyle forever to reduce our carbon footprint. Most of us use far too much energy. With a lit­tle thought, we could all use less power and help the environment. WED also needs to make people in poorer countries aware of the dangers to the environment. The governments of new superpowers such as China and In­dia need to reduce their energy consumption too. Hopefully, World Envi­ronment Day will become more celebrated every year.
