SUMMARY:World Environment Day
DESCRIPTION:World Environment Day is commemorated every year on June 5th. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about the environment and how to protect our planet.  \n\n\n\nOn this day\, people are encouraged to do something beneficial for the Earth. They can do it alone or with friends\, the important thing is to take action to make our planet a better place.  \n\n\n\nWorld Environment Day is not a public holiday so businesses and shops will remain open.  \n\n\n\nCommemorate World Environment Day- Environment-friendly Practices \n\n\n\nProper Disposal and Recycling\n\n\n\nRecycling is the easiest way you can help in helping the environment. It is something that most households and people around the world already do. Recycling is as simple as separating normal trash\, plastic\, paper\, and glass and putting them in their specific bins. However\, doing this at home is not enough. \n\n\n\nWe need to be careful while we are outside as well and make sure that we are disposing of the trash in proper places instead of scattering it on roads or public spaces.  \n\n\n\nPlant Trees\n\n\n\nOne activity you can organize with friends and family is planting trees in your backyards. Not only do trees absorb and filter pollutant gases\, but homes with trees in their gardens cut air conditioning needs by 50%. This\, in turn\, helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.  \n\n\n\nConserve Water\n\n\n\nWater is a very important resource that forms an integral part of the growing needs of the population. There are multiple ways in which you can conserve water. For instance\, you can take short showers\, close the tap while brushing\, steam vegetables instead of boiling (this is because boiling vegetables leads to loss of nutrients while steaming helps preserve them)\, and collect rainwater which you can later use to water plants\, and so on. \n\n\n\nUse Plastic Alternatives\n\n\n\nPlastics have a negative impact on the environment when disposed of improperly. It clogs drains\, pollutes water bodies\, harms aquatic animals\, releases toxic chemicals on burning\, and so on. However\, many eco-friendly alternatives have emerged lately such as Bioplastic. Although they are similar to plastics in utility\, they are biodegradable products which means that they will naturally break down and decompose thus minimizing pollution. \n\n\n\nInform and Educate Others\n\n\n\nFinally\, make sure to educate other people so that they become aware of the environmental issues and ways to tackle them. This will allow them to reflect on their daily lifestyle habits and make changes accordingly. On World Environment Day\, let us work together as a community to make the earth a better place to live.
