World Environment Day

World Environment Day

In an era where the bond between nature and human beings is weakening day by day, World Environment Day holds great significance. It is celebrated every year on June 5th. The United Nations first established this day in 1972 as part of the Stockholm Conference. The main purpose is to remind the world that it is everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment.

Today, one of the greatest challenges facing the world is climate change. Alongside it are deforestation, water pollution, air pollution, and the destruction of biodiversity. These environmental issues are largely the result of uncontrolled development and careless exploitation of nature by humans. In this context, Environment Day carries a strong message – to live in harmony with nature.

Environmental protection can begin with small actions. Planting trees, reducing plastic use, conserving water, and reusing materials are just a few simple steps we can take. When individuals – from children to adults – act responsibly, these small efforts can lead to big changes. World Environment Day, celebrated globally, reminds us of our duty to safeguard nature and to build a more sustainable future.

That’s why reading is often called “food for the mind.” June 19 is observed as Reading Day in Kerala, in memory of P.N. Panicker, the father of the reading movement. It was through his tireless efforts that Kerala became a land of readers. We owe our rich reading culture to his inspiring vision. In today’s digital age, instead of spending all our time on social media and mobile games, setting aside even a few minutes for a good book can make a huge difference. Only a book can help us escape the noise of the world and find peace within.
