Every year June 5th is celebrated as the World Environment Day

 Also known as environment Day, eco day, this day is celebrated worldwide by the people aiming to protect the nature

It has been celebrated as an annual event since 1973 in order to raise the global awareness about the importance of healthy and green environment in the human lives.

Each year, it has a new theme that governments, corporations, communities, NGOs, and celebrities adopt to advocate environmental causes.

The campaign each year is organized around a theme that draws attention to a particularly pressing environmental concern.

The theme for 2019 is “Air pollution”. Every year a different country hosts the event where the official celebrations take place.

The focus on the host country helps highlight the environmental challenges it faces and supports worldwide efforts to address them.

This year's host is China

The theme for 2018 was "Plastic Pollution" and the host country was India. 


This theme aimed to change the everyday lives of the people by reducing the heavy burden of plastic pollution. The Indian government has pledged to eliminate all single use of plastic in India by 2022.
