Positive Eco News
If you don’t follow us on Instagram (firstly, you’re seriously missing out), then you might not know that we like to post about positive news stories now and then to show that the world isn’t all bad - though I don’t blame you if in recent years you have developed a pessimistic streak. In honour of this year’s World Environment Day (5th June) and World Ocean Day (8th June), I thought I’d follow suit and put together some of the positive things that have happened in the past year – with an environmental theme of course!
World Environment Day
It was only a month ago that we were harping on about World Earth Day and now it’s World Environment Day so which came first, the earth or the environment? Well, we wouldn’t be here without either so let’s not chicken and egg this situation. The first World Earth Day was in 1970 just beating the UN’s World Environment Day to the punch which was launched in 1972, with the first global celebration taking place in 1974. It was a good decade for environmentalism but why do we celebrate these types of international days in the first place?
