Happy World Environment Day! This year's theme is: 7 Billion
People, Consume With Care.
World Environment Day is the opportunity for everyone to
realize the responsibility to care for the Earth and to become agents of
change. The well-being of Earth as a whole, humanity and our economies, depend
on us managing our planet's natural resources responsibly. People are consuming natural resources far
beyond what the planet can sustainably provide. Many of the Earth’s ecosystems
are nearing critical points of depletion or irreversible change because of
issues like our planet's high population and economic development. Earth's
population is expected to reach 9.6 by 2050. The U.N. reports that at the
current rate of population growth coupled with consumption patterns, humankind
will need three planets to sustain itself by the year 2050.
The health of our future is scary and the task of moving
towards a sustainable future is daunting, but there are small action we can all
take on personal levels that will help the planet as a whole in a big way! Here
are 6 small actions you can take.....
