World Environment Day 2013

by | 08-05-2013 12:22 recommendations 0

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE PART IN THE BIGGEST DAY FOR POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION?

30 DAYS TO WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY AND COUNTING!

World Environment Day 2013 is right upon us! This year, we are calling on every member of the growing global WED community to Think.Eat.Save – Reduce Your Foodprint!

WED 2013 — celebrated every year on June 5th — will highlight the magnitude of the food waste concern and its humanitarian, economic and environmental implications.  Together we will raise the call for heightened awareness and immediate action to reduce food waste and loss across the food supply chain. And we need everybody to get involved — food producers, supermarkets, consumers, restaurants and hotel chains, schools, sports and other social clubs, company CEOs, city mayors, national and world leaders.

Discover Mongolia!

Mongolia, which is prioritizing a Green Economy shift across its big economic sectors such as mining and promoting environmental awareness among  youth, is the global host-country of this year?s World Environment Day (WED) celebrations. Stay tuned to the WED website, Twitter and Facebook pages to discover lots of interesting facts about this fascinating country!

How Do You Preserve Your Food?

The Mongolians have shared some of their secrets that may contribute to preserving and thus, not wasting food, such as the borts and the aaruuls. Now, UNEP is calling on people across the world to share their traditional knowledge and ideas of food preservation whether it be the biltong in South Africa, pickling or jam making, sauerkraut in Germany, or the way shark meat is preserved in ice in Iceland.
