Sustainability Tip of the Week
A simple wish for a better tomorrow
Happy Earth Day 2019!
This year’s Earth Day theme is “Protect Our Species” here are some goals for this year:
- Educate and raise awareness about the accelerating rate of extinction of millions of species and the causes and consequences of this phenomenon.
- Achieve major policy victories that protect broad groups of species as well as individual species and their habitats.
- Build and activate a global movement that embraces nature and its values.
- Encourage individual actions such as adopting plant based diet and stopping pesticide and herbicide use.
