Today is World Environment Day 🌏
Environmental factors such as air pollution, chemicals, toxic waste, global warming, water, sanitation and hygiene can drastically affect our health.
By focusing on reducing environmental risk factors, nearly a quarter of the global burden of disease can be prevented.
This year's theme “Beat Plastic Pollution” urges governments, industry, communities, and individuals to come together and explore sustainable alternatives and urgently reduce the production and excessive use of single-use plastic polluting our rivers, damaging marine life and threatening human health.
Together we can achieve a healthier environment!
