This day helps draw more political attention and public action to the current environmental issues around the world. From June 5-16, 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was held. This prompted the implementation of World Environment Day, which was first observed on June 5, 1973. This day is hosted by a different city with a different theme each year. It is commemorated with an international exposition that is held during the week of June 5th.http://www.unep.org/wed/2010/english/about.asp

Millions of people and other species share our planet. Many species on this planet are in danger of extinction due to the actions of people. Working together, we can make the future safer and more prosperous for us all. http://www.unep.org/wed/2010/english/theme.asp
