What Is World Environment Day–and Why It Matters for Your Backyard

What Is World Environment Day?

World Environment Day was established June 5, 1973 in an effort to raise awareness, inspire change, and drive global action for a healthier, more sustainable future.

This year's focus is climate change centered on the urgent need to address climate change through meaningful, collective effort. 

How to Get Involved

One of the simplest ways to reduce your environmental footprint starts right in your backyard. Durable, recyclable shade solutions mean longer lasting, fewer replacements, less waste, and lower energy use.

That's the kind of everyday climate action World Environment Day is all about, and it's exactly why we make what we make.

The easiest ways they suggest to get involved are:

• Take part in UNEP’s #NowForClimate dance challenge. 
• Organize or join a World Environment Day event. 
• Share what you see by posting an impact or solution you believe in and tagging @UNEP.

Every action adds up. Look into more details on how you can get involved and join in online with #ClimateAction.
