World Environment Day
World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.
Apparently all around the world today people are thinking of their environment. Well I wish that were true but I saw no signs of it myself in deepest darkest Suffolk. There was no mention of it in any local paper; no celebrations in towns or villages and no activities at my childrens school. Maybe we are taking our lovely Suffolk environment for granted ?
Tomorrow heralds the start of the great G8 (plus 5 observers) Summit where apparently "the environment" will be topping the agenda - and the powerful will seek to find a path forward. Question is: will we see any consensus on how we tackle global climate change or use of the earths resources ??
