To stimulate worldwide awareness of the environment and to enhance political attention and action, World Environment Day (WED) was established in 1972 by the UN General Assembly. It is commemorated yearly on 5 June.
This years' theme is 'Your Planet Needs You—UNite to Combat Climate Change.' It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.
So, for the environment today we should all band together and do something.
Here's a tip: Unplugging all unnecessary electronics when they're not in use can save energy and your money.
