World Environment Day 2008 is Thursday, June 5! The theme for this year’s international United Nations celebration is CO2 – Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy. The UN writes: World Environment Day (WED) is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.
The agenda is to give a human face to environmental issues; empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; and advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.
Stand up to Climate Change are asking people to select which change to their routine they will be making to help prepare for Climate Change – from saving water to helping prepare against floods. http://www.standuptoclimatechange.org/ask.aspxBiome Lifestyle fully supports World Environment Day – the greater public awareness about Climate Change the better!

Nice post. Come to know a lot about the environment day. It is indeed necessary to protect. Our environment from the pollution and growing global warming. I am sending cards to make people careful on environmental pollution and request them to resist them. You may also send cards to your near and dear ones to make them concern about the environment day. Link is the following:
