WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY


Hi friends! On 5th of JUNE the world will celebrate WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY ! I had recently celebrated the birthday of my nana on 1st of June. I think every one should plant a tree. In VALSAD it was so cool that I enjoyed that atmosphere.I played badminton with a didi in our society.So lets see this video which would inspire you.

Now I will give you brief information for the topic.

World Environment Day (WED) occurs on the 5th of June every year, and is the United Nation's principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of our environment. First held in 1974, it has been a flagship campaign for raising awareness on emerging environmental issues from marine pollution, human overpopulation, and global warming, to sustainable consumption and wildlife crime. WED has grown to become a global platform for public outreach, with participation from over 143 countries annually. Each year, WED has a new theme that major corporations, NGOs, communities, governments and celebrities worldwide adopt to advocate environmental causes.

India is the host of 2018 WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY. This year its topic is BEAT PLASTIC POLLUTION the world is going to together combat single-use plastic pollution.

India once had started the move of CHIPKO MOVEMENT this was the first time it was done to save the environment.

The Chipko movement or Chipko Andolan was a forest conservation movement where people clung onto trees to prevent them from being cut. Chipko-type movements date back to 1730 AD when in Khejarli village of Rajasthan, 363 Bishnois sacrificed their lives to save khejri trees. In modern India, it began in 1973 in Uttarakhand (then in Uttar Pradesh) and went on to become a rallying point for many future environmental movements all over the world. It created a precedent for starting of nonviolent protest in India,^[1] and its success meant that the world immediately took notice of this non-violent movement, which was to inspire in time many such eco-groups by helping to slow down the rapid deforestation, expose vested interests, increase ecological awareness, and demonstrate the viability of people power. Above all, it stirred up the existing civil society in India, which began to address the issues of tribal and marginalized people.The chipko aandolan is a movement that practised methods of Satyagraha where both male and female activists from Uttarakhand played vital roles, including Gaura Devi, Suraksha Devi,Sudesha Devi, Bachni Devi and Chandi Prasad Bhatt.

Today, beyond the eco-socialism hue, it is being seen increasingly as an ecofeminism movement. Although many of its leaders were men, women were not only its backbone, but also its mainstay, because they were the ones most affected by the rampant deforestation, which led to a lack of firewood and fodder as well as water for drinking and irrigation. Over the years they also became primary stakeholders in a majority of the afforestation work that happened under the Chipko movement.^[3][4][5] In 1987, the Chipko movement was awarded the Right Livelihood Award.

Friends also in India from last year a abhiyan or protest was started which is known as rally for rivers by shri Sadguru. Now i am taking leave lets meet in my next blog.
