World Environment Day was declared by United Nations General Assembly in 1972.
The World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5. The day is marked to call for action by governments, private organisations, civil society as well as individuals to protect the environment. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the nodal agency that organises and supports events across the world. World Environment Day was celebrated for the first time in 1974.
On this day, events are organised around the theme set by the UNEP to promote community involvement for the cause. People also send messages to wish their friends and colleagues and urge them to be mindful of their actions that could damage the environment.
Here are some quotes that you can send to your friends and relatives:
