Environment Day in GijónToday, June 5, World Environment Day is celebrated, and it is done with multiple activities around the world. Children tend to be protagonists of this special date that aims to highlight the importance of respect and preservation of the environment.
And it is that they will not only be the ones who should enjoy a living and welcoming planet, but they will be the ones who will take over and have the possibility of demanding that care of the environment for future generations. And maybe we need future adults more aware of what we are today.
It is children who in the future will take care of our planet, so we must try to instill their respect and care, so necessary for survival and quality of life. We remind you that there are many ways to celebrate World Environment Day with our children, and we encourage you to do it in one way or another.
Global warming, recycling, water scarcity, sustainability, endangered animals, desertification, pollution ... are issues that have probably already emerged in the day-to-day life of children, at home or at school. But perhaps they still do not know any of these concepts, and in order to remedy it, there are many cities that organize special activities for children.
Today, the National Parks of the Tablas de Daimiel and Doñana, the Atlantic Botanical Garden of Gijón will receive school visits, in Madrid we have theater or we will ride a bike and there are activities in Extremadura, in CosmoCaixa Barcelona, in Valencia, in Torrelavega, in Nerja ...
Surely in your city, in the gardens, in the zoos, in the houses of culture ... there is also some activity, you just have to check the local agendas.
Recall that it was December 15, 1972 when the UN General Assembly designated on June 5 World Environment Day to better raise awareness of the need to conserve and improve the environment.
That date was chosen because that day the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment had begun, held in Stockholm in 1972; From this conference, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) was created, so that we all understand the importance of protecting and conserving it.
Today is a good day to start celebrate World Environment Day with our children, and surely the principle for the small gestures of children every day contribute to a better future.
