World Environment Day 2010: Many Species, One Planet, One Future

United Nations, New York, 21 may 2010 - World Environment Day (WED) 2010 is aimed to be the biggest, most widely celebrated, global day for positive, environmental action.

Commemorated on 5 June since 1972, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the UN stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.

Through WED, we are able to give a human face to environmental issues and enable people to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.

WED is also a day for advocating partnerships among all stakeholders or perhaps, even more correctly, among all species living on this one planet and sharing a common future.

WED 2010 is aimed to be the biggest WED celebration ever and we count on you to make this happen! We call for action organize a neighborhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, plant a tree or better yet organize a collective tree planting effort, walk to work, start a recycling drive . . . the possibilities are endless.

Remember that without world sharing of resources there will be no world justice and equality. Without world justice there will be no world peace. Finally, without world peace there will be no world. Here is a triangle to think over and take action on using your own skills and compassion. Humanity can do it!

To the United Nations: You are a hyprocrite to be promoting World Environment Day when the greatest oil spill disaster in the history of mankind is taking place right now in the Gulf of Mexico -- and yet you say nothing. Are you afraid to stand up to the oil magnates of the world? You say you have the power to save the world, but you have no power to stop greed and corruption. Your own karma will be your undoing.
