It is not a public holiday, it is an environmental Awareness day. The aim is to raise Awareness of the environment and specific environmental issues.

143 countries take part in World Environment Day, and the day focuses on environmental concerns ranging from pollution to global warming and sustainable food production to protection of wildlife.

Without Awareness of the importance of the environment on a global scale, politics will not change legislation to govern practices that may be hurting the environment.

This is not just something for the day, this is a all year round commitment to action on a global scale to promote and encourage environmental responsibility and the conservation of natural resources.

The main colors featured in many promotions for this event are natural colors depicting nature, the Earth and its natural resources.

Images of natural the Earth‘s features, such as snowy mountains, clean beaches, unpolluted rivers, and photos of natural flora and fauna, including fern leaves, are used to promote campaigns supporting the day.

Our cosmic oasis, cosmic blue pearl
the most beautiful planet in the universe
all the continents and all the oceans 
united we stand as flora and fauna
united we stand as species of one earth
different cultures, beliefs and ways
we are humans, the earth is our home
all the people and the nations of the world
all for one and one for all
united we unfurl the blue marble flag.
