World Environment Day: Think.Eat.Save

            

"We won't have a society if we destroy the environment" ―Margaret Mead 

World Environment Day #WED is celebrated each year on June 5 to spread global awareness among the inhabitants of earth regarding mother nature.

Each year, the day is celebrated with a theme and the theme for this year’s celebration is “THINK.EAT.SAVE”. 

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO), every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. Ironically, 1 in every 7 people in the world goes to bed without food and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily due to hunger. 

This year's theme encouages reduction of food wastage, which in turn will help save money and minimise the environmental impact of food production. It encourages people to be more aware of the environmental impact of their food choices.  

"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed" ― Mahatma Gandhi

So friends, let’s “THINK.EAT and SAVE”  

Happy World Environment Day 2013 #WED2013
