    Happy World Environment Day !

    Most important thing I feel is to avoid/ban plastic bags for a better planet

    Info:
    Since June 5, 1972, the planet has annually celebrated World Environment Day (WED), a day which calls for environmental conservation through global action. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP, Unep.org) leads and organizes WED, creating a yearly theme and selecting a host country which is setting an example for green policies. The theme for WED 2010 is “Many Species. One Planet. One Future,” an idea which brings to attention the urgency required to protect the planet’s dwindling diversity.

    Rwanda has been chosen as the 2010 WED host country, and there are good reasons why. The East African nation has initiated numerous eco-friendly policies, such as clean-up campaigns, restorations of area rainforests, implementation of renewable energy sources, and a ban on plastic bags, all despite the country’s other challenges.
