World Environment Day

World Environment Day (WED) is a day that stimulates awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and public action. It was first held on 5th June 1972.

Above all India is hosting the World Environment Day, 2011 in New Delhi. The theme for this year’s celebration is "Forests: Nature at Your Service" which highlights the crucial environmental and economic roles played by the forests, particularly in India.

So, on this World Environment Day let us do our bit to improve the surroundings in which we are living, by being a little more loving, a shade less angry, a bit more tolerant, and a pinch less arrogant in our actions and behavior. Coupled with this, small individual actions like planting trees, community clean-ups, car-free days, use cycle as a mode of transport, outdoor nature trips, saying no to tobacco and smoking, will go a long way in making our blue planet green...

Save the Environment & Help to reduce the congestion on the roads...

"Go Cycling, Go Green"  -- SCC

Wishing everyone Happy World Environment Day...
