World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5th as a reminder for us humans to care for the planet we call home. It was started by the United Nations, it highlights a different environmental issue each year like plastic pollution or saving forests, and encourages people everywhere to take action. With problems like climate change and pollution becoming more serious, this day is a chance to reflect and do our part whether it’s planting a tree, cutting down on waste, or making greener choices every day.
Here are 5 ways to care of Earth:

• Say no to single-use plastics – Use cloth bags, metal straws, and refillable bottles.

• Buy smart – Choose products with minimal or no plastic packaging.

• Recycle right – Sort and clean your plastic waste properly.

• Reuse creatively – Turn old plastic items into useful or fun things.

• Speak up – Spread awareness and support rules that reduce plastic use.
