Global. Healthy. Lifestyle.

World Environment Day, 5 June,  is a day to celebrate the environment and take global action – everyone’ s participation counts!

Green your daily routine!

Say no to plastic bags when you shop. Use cloth bags instead.

Conserve energy! Turn off the lights to brighten our environment.

Use rainwater for your indoor plants – they love it, and you’ll save water at the same time.

Don’t keep the water running while brushing your teeth. You will save as much as 11 litres every time!

Green your office: print double-sided, turn off monitors, start an office recycling program.

Host a World Environment Day celebration. Clean up your neighbourhood. And don’t forget to register your activity on unep.org/wed

Mobilise your friends to celebrate World Environment Day! Use Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, SMS, text, email – it doesn’t matter how, just get the word out!

Plant a tree this year!  Celebrate by planting a tree with friends or family.
