World Environment Day

World News:

Yesterday was World Environment Day


It's a good time to think about our habits, and how they impact on the environment, and maybe to come up with some ways to start helping our communities get more environmental.

As an example, this week 2001 people in Kathmandu broke the world record for most people hugging trees for 2 minutes.

That might not be everyone's idea of a good time, and it probably doesn't help the environment much (although I think the trees might quite like it), so maybe there are other environmental schemes that people want to try, but don't know where to start. We'll help if we can, just let us know.


At the very least, World Environment Day should be a time for us to realise that we can't sweep things under the carpet forever...
