On 5 June 2010 it is World Environment Day. This is a day to try to make as much difference in the world as possible, but does it work? How old is it? and Who created it? This explanation will tell you.
World Environment day has had a theme for the 37 years it has been running. Here are a few:
In 2005 it was “Green Cities.”
In 2006 it was “Deserts and Desertification.”
In 2007 it was “Melting Ice - A Hot Topic?”
In 2008 it was Hosted by New Zealand and the theme was “ CO2, Kick the Habit!”
In 2009 it was “Your Planet Needs You - Unite To Combat Climate Change.”
And finally in 2010 it is “Many Species. One Planet. One Future”.
17,000 species are endangered at the moment but because of World Environment Day this number has decreased. So it means that W.E.D (World Environment Day) is working very well. It was established in 1972 by the United Nations General Assembly.
W.E.D has helped the world in many many ways. It has been going for 37 years it most definitely works. it was created by The United Nations General Assembly. W.E.D is a brilliant idea.

Rainwater Tanks
Have you ever wondered why some people run out of water when the weather is dry? What about those big tanks taking up so much room in their gardens? This explanation will tell you all about rainwater tanks.
A rainwater tank is when people collect rainwater into a tank for their drinking water and their showers. Sometimes if there has been a drought then that means that quite often these people have no water and have to order a new tank full of water. This is a sustainable way of keeping water and not having to go through the whole process of recycled water that have been used by other people.
These massive tanks are usually made of concrete and are usually blue or grey. They take up a lot of room which is one of the cons of being sustainable. Although they take up lots of room in your garden you can still decorate them to match the features in your garden so it looks really nice and it can help other plants to grow. Sometimes people have different ones and are sometimes hidden under shelters so that it doesn't take up too much room.
I think that you should get a rainwater tank and be just that little bit more sustainable.
