World Environment Day 2015
World Environment Day is celebrated every year on 5 June in more
than 100 countries. World Environment Day (WED) was established
by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972.WED is hosted
every year by a different city and commemorated with an
international exposition through the week of June 5. The United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), also created in 1972, uses
WED to stimulate awareness of the environment and enhance
political attention and public action.

Theme: Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care
The well-being of humanity, the environment, and the functioning of the economy,
ultimately depend upon the responsible management of the planet’s natural
resources. Evidence is building that people are consuming far more natural resources
than what the planet can sustainably provide. Many of the Earth’s ecosystems are
nearing critical tipping points of depletion or irreversible change, pushed by high
population growth and economic development. By 2050, if current consumption and
production patterns remain the same and with a rising population expected to reach
9.6 billion, we will need three planets to sustain our ways of living and consumption.
The WED theme this year is therefore "Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet.
Consume with Care." Living within planetary boundaries is the most promising
strategy for ensuring a healthy future. Human prosperity need not cost the earth.
Living sustainably is about doing more and better with less. It is about knowing that
rising rates of natural resource use and the environmental impacts that occur are not
a necessary by-product of economic growth.

What is climate change……………….
Climate change is any long-term change in the patterns of average
weather of a specific region or the Earth as a whole. Climate change
reflects abnormal variations to the Earth's climate and subsequent
effects on other parts of the Earth

Easy things to combat climate change………
1-Travel light. Walk or
bike instead of driving a
car. Cars and trucks run
on fossil fuels, which
release carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere.
2-Teleconference instead of flying. For
office meetings, if you can telephone or
videoconference, you will save time,
money, and carbon emissions. Airplanes
pump carbon emissions high into the
atmosphere, producing 12 percent of
transportation sector emissions.

3-Recycle and use recycled products.
Products made from recycled paper,
glass, metal and plastic reduce carbon
emissions because they use less energy
to manufacture than products made
from completely new materials. For
instance, you'll save two pounds of
carbon for every 20 glass bottles that
you recycle. Recycling paper also
saves trees and lets them continue to
reduce climate change naturally as they
remain in the forest, where they
remove carbon from the atmosphere.

4-Plant native trees. Trees absorb
carbon dioxide from the air and use it as
their energy source, producing oxygen
for us to breathe. A tree in the temperate
zone ? found between the tropics and
the polar circles? can remove and store
700 to 7,000 pounds of carbon over its
lifetime. A tree that shades a house can
reduce the energy required to run the air
conditioner and save an additional 200
to 2,000 pounds of carbon over its
lifetime.

5-Turn down the heat. Heating and air
conditioning draw more than half of the
energy that a home uses in the United
States. Turn down the heat or air
conditioning when you leave the house
or go to bed. You can easily install a
programmable thermostat that can save
up money and carbon.

16

6- Buy renewable energy. Electricity
generation produces 40 percent of carbon
emissions from the United States. A
growing number of utilities generate
electricity from renewable energy
sources with solar panels, windmills and
other technologies. If your utility offers
renewable energy, buy it. If not, send
them a message asking for clean energy.
