Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – April 15, 2021 – Articles
The environment and ecology are currently a priority in the strategic planning of most countries. Ukraine is no exception, although the activities and implementation of programs and plans are still worth learning from European neighbors.
Holiday history:
this day began in 1992 at the UN Conference in Rio de Janeiro. For the first time, the role of environmental education for the sustainable development of mankind and its survival was actively discussed at this conference.
Goal:
Popularization of ecological knowledge, formation of ecological culture of the population, provision of information on the state of ecological safety and environment, education of ecological thinking in children and adults.
Issues:
Our future depends on the state of our planet. It is impossible without careful interaction with the outside world. The development of environmental knowledge is a task set by the United Nations and governments.
The more you know, the greater everyone’s responsibility.
What to do to save the world:
It all starts with a person, it all starts with one’s own consumption. At least everyone can:
fight plastic waste,
take care of forest conservation,
protect greenery in cities,
reduce meat consumption,
give up natural fur,
save electricity and water,
properly dispose of garbage, give things a “second life”,
take care of stray animals.
