Celebrated every year on June 5, World Environment Day, hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), promotes positive eco-action, and creates ideal opportunities for individuals and communities to understand the importance of world heritage and environmental protection. This year’s theme, “Beat Plastic Pollution,” highlights the importance of plastic-free eco-systems, and urges consumers to reduce their reliance on single-use or disposable plastics. In line with this year’s theme, UNEP is encouraging individuals and communities to take action by focusing on the plastics that go into our natural waterways. Plastic is one of the biggest pollutants in our oceans today.
