| Making
a difference - locally and globally |
|
| Human beings and the environment
go hand in hand. The environment around us directly impacts our health
and lifestyle and our varied actions - the fuel we use, the forests
we cut down, the plastic matter |

| Why
World Environment Day |
| The United Nations established the
World Environment Day in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm
Conference on Human Environment. Since then, June 5 has been celebrated
as the 'World Environment Day'. |

| Pro-nature
practices - lifestyle choice or compulsion? |
|
| Is
'environment' just a fancy word, a fashion statement? Or is it increasingly
determining the choices we have and shall continue to have in today's
shrinking planet?
The tradition of caring for the natural environment
does not have a long history in mainstream society of almost any
modern nation. It is only the second half of the twentieth century
that people woke up to the fact the development came at a cost,
it could not be as fast as humans could produce or consume resources
without exacting a negetive price.
Today the movement to protect our natural environment is gaining
ground. But is it fast enough? That's an answer we can answer in
the negative only to our detriment.
