Received this email this morning. Might not be to everyones thinking but could be nice to introduce this into your workplace - it's only a day!
Thant and the fact our cars are BIG polluters at least it shows we're making an effort......
Folks
World Environmental Day may be a good way of encouraging people to just take a small amount of time and do something that will make a difference.
There will be differing levels of interest, all I ask is that you pass on to others, what day it is, and challenge them to contribute, in whatever way they want.
It would be great to hear from any location that gets involved and does something we could all benefit from
Thanks to XXXXXXXXXXX for putting this information together, im doing my bit, I am recycling her information!!
Were you aware that World Environment Day 2008 is approaching?
World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.
Emacs!
Go to the web page http://www.unep.org/wed/2008/english/ for more information, free posters, facts and figures, case examples and more.
The World Environment Day slogan for 2008 is Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy. Recognising that climate change is becoming the defining issue of our era, UNEP is asking countries, companies and communities to focus on greenhouse gas emissions and how to reduce them. The World Environment Day will highlight resources and initiatives that promote low carbon economies and life-styles, such as improved energy efficiency, alternative energy sources, forest conservation and eco-friendly consumption.
