World Environment Day sets a global platform for awareness concerning environmental issues, with over 143 countries participating annually. The day pays homage to our planet, and it sheds light on marine pollution problems, overpopulation, global warming, sustainable consumption, and wildlife crime.
Businesses and corporations typically donate money to charities who help with the protection of the earth. It was created to teach people around the world how to become more involved in preserving the environment.
It is a day in which we can take the time to do something positive for the environment. It brings to mind that we are one big family here on earth, and we have to support each other and work to improve the outcome of the environment for future generations to come.
