World Environment Day 2015 June 5 Theme : sustainable lifestyles.

World Environment Day 2015 June 5 Theme : sustainable lifestyles.


Every year, the United Nations Environment Program honors World Environment Day on June 5 to raise awareness about environmental issues and call for action.

The UN Environment Program just announced the theme of this year’s event: sustainable lifestyles.

The topic is a particularly powerful one, because there’s room for everyone to take a moment to question how we live and how it impacts the planet. The theme asks everyone to evaluate our consumer habits: how we shop, eat and travel.

The UN Environment Programme says creating more sustainable lifestyles is crucial.

By 2050, if current consumption and production patterns remain the same and with a rising population expected to reach 9.6 billion, we will need three planets to sustain our way of life. Living well within planetary boundaries is the most promising strategy for ensuring a healthy future.
