World Environment Day

The first day of the Stockholm Conference on Human Environment,
In 1972 by the United Nations,
Resulted in the first World Environment Day in 1974,
With the theme "Only One Earth".

From when we begin to breathe,
Till we breathe our last,
We live in nature,
But do we know our responsibilities towards it?

The definition of environment says that,

Surroundings an organism adapts to and lives,
But in today's world,
We alter our surroundings to reach our comfort level.

This is one day where people residing in over 143 countries,
Come together to raise their voice against,
All kinds of environmental issues possible,
And support the protection of nature.

To mark the importance of various issues,
Every year a new theme is taken up,
Not keeping just that in mind,
But adding to what can be done for the benefit.

This is not the only day to focus on the natural environment,
But, it is a day to remind us regarding our duty towards it.
One day does not bring in an improvement,
But working from Day-1 will surely benefit in the long run.

'First protect, keep saving and eventually grow.'
