The fifth day of June each year is designated as the World Environment Day (WED).
In its website, the Environment Agency [a leading public body for protecting and improving the environment in England and Wales] is challenging everyone to ask oneself:
- What is the number one thing that you are doing to help tackle climate change
- What one extra thing could you do to help tackle climate change
- What’s stopping you.
Whether it is turning off appliances right away, drying your washing outdoors, using reuseable bags or cycling to work [OK, OK, maybe taking the public transportation then], we can all do our little part.
What’s stopping you then? As the Native American saying goes: ‘We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.’ For a look at how the country fares, go here [this is the latest available report but I suspect the situation has deteriorated further rather than improved]. It doesn’t look promising.
So let’s all join hands to do our share.

MamaCat is back! Saw her in the drain this morning as I was leaving for work. I was in a hurry though and didn’t have time to unlock the locks to get the box for her and kittens. [Don’t worry, am not about to turn this into a cat blog.]
