At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
World Environment Day is observed worldwide by everyone who cares about the planet and wants to take action to reverse the damages.
Since it's not a country-specific day, this day is observed by everyone globally, especially by environmental enthusiasts, ecologists, and concerned citizens who are trying to mitigate the consequences of climate change.
Stressing on alarming environmental issues, this day has been observed since 1974 on June 5, every year.
The United Nations started this day in 1974 to raise awareness of the importance of healthy ecosystems and take steps that lead to sustainable development.
The environment has suffered slowly over time. The damages have become so monumental that it is now heading towards catastrophic changes. Let's see how environmental degradation became a serious issue.
On this day, several events are held, including seminars and discussions on various topics that promote sustainable living. Many countries have made extraordinary efforts to conserve wildlife and coral reefs that promote ecosystem restoration.
Several adoption programs and community initiatives are organized. Tree plantation drives are held every year to help ensure more carbon sinks in the environment which will decrease air pollution.
To ensure healthy ecosystems, waste management should be first put into force. Natural places like forests, rivers, seas, beaches should be handled with utmost care. Every once in a while, ocean cleanliness drives should be held to maintain a healthy environment for aquatic animals, which will also help preserve coral reefs. People should adopt practices like making moderate use of vehicles, industries, and factories should also ensure to release a limited amount of gases in the atmosphere, which will decrease carbon footprint, resulting in reduced air pollution.
Live broadcasts of programs related to the environment are done which emphasize development challenges to spread worldwide awareness to take necessary measures in preserving the human environment. Tree plantation drives are held on this day to decrease global warming to ensure ecosystem restoration, which will have a positive ecological impact.
On this day, environmental laws should be strengthened and implemented in places like East Africa, facing dire situations like deforestation, water shortages, biodiversity loss, overgrazing, and urban-industrial pollution.
On this day, it becomes important to consider the resources that are left for use. Of all the water available on Earth, 97% of water bodies are oceans, 2% is frozen (as of now), and only 1% of the world's water supply is said to be worthy of use. That's a pretty fantastic fact to remember on this World Environment Day.
The first-ever World Environment Day theme was 'Only One Earth.'
The World Environment Day was adopted on the first day of the United Nations Conference on Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1972.
On World Environment Day, like our favorite actors who advocate for climate change, like Meryl Streep and Leonardo Di Caprio, we can also do out bit by adopting a sustainable habit or contributing to a good cause!
The theme for this day in 2021 was 'Ecosystem Restoration.'
'Only One Earth' is the theme for this day in 2022, recalling the first-ever observance of World Environment Day.
June 5 is observed as Environment Day to spread awareness about the effects of global warming and as a wake-up call to save the environment from the possible damage caused due to industrialization.
The significance of this day is to spread awareness regarding environmental problems and take necessary steps to ensure ecosystem restoration.
The difference between these days is that World Environment Day is observed on June 5, and World Nature Conservation Day is observed on July 28. The purpose of these days is almost the same.
This day motivates people to cut down excessive waste by observing recycling, planting trees, and taking other steps to ensure healthy ecosystems.
The United Nations first observed this day in 1974 and observed it to spread awareness regarding various environmental problems and take necessary measures to eradicate these problems.
This day is special because many people are motivated to combat global warming by participating in cleanliness drives, tree plantation drives, and other programs promoting a healthy environment.
