The United Nations General Assembly in 1972 established World Environment Day. On the same day, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was created too. Today World Environment Day has celebrated the world over in many ways. World Environment Day (WED) is not just another day but a special day for you and me. Green concerts, essay, and poster competitions, rallies, tree planting, recycling efforts, clean-up campaigns, etc. are some of the ways people, organizations, and governments express their concern towards the environment. WED is also used to enhance political attention and action. Pledges are made and actions are taken, which lead to the establishment of permanent governmental structures dealing with environmental management and economic planning.
