World Environment Day (WED) is celebrated every year worldwide on 5 June. The main aim of the United Nations for celebrating is day is to create awareness and action for protecting our environment. The day is celebrated by engaging governments, businesses, celebrities, and citizens to focus their efforts on a pressing environmental issue.

Two years later, in 1974 the first WED was held with the theme “Only One Earth”. Even though the Environment Day celebration has been held annually since 1974, in 1987 the idea for rotating the center of these activities through selecting different host countries began.

विश्व पर्यावरण दिवस जरूर मनाएं

अपने आस-पास कोई पेड़ लगाएं

पॉलिथीन का प्रयोग न करे और

बाजार घर से थैला लेकर जाएं

Happy World Environment Day

पर्यावरण प्रदूषण जो इतना फैलाओगे,

तो प्राकृतिक आपदाओं से कैसे बच पाओगे,

कुछ भी नहीं होगा विश्व पर्यावरण दिवस मानने से,

पर्यावरण शुद्ध और स्वच्छ होगा पेड़ लगाने से,

विश्व पर्यावरण दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं।
