The World is celebrating the Environment Day on the 5th of June every year. Various activities for raising public awareness and reminding people on the environmental conservation challenges are held at different parts of the World. Few activities, however are held to celebrate the success stories of protecting our environment. In other words, much more need to be done for having a healthy and sustainable Earth.
Today marks the Day for everyone to refresh what we have done for the environment the last 12 months and also to map out strategies and actions on what to do for the next twelve months and longer. Do you make a wish list today?
I hope more individual actions by everyone for reducing generation of waste, reducing carbon footprint, increasing efficiency on utilising the resources and promoting healthy and sustainable lifestyle and neighbourliness. Collectively, individual actions can bring tremendous changes to the World.
I wish businesses, big or small can do more for the environment. Having Social Responsibility practices on environmental stewardship and social responsiveness for every step in the businesses standard operating procedure is the way forward. Businesses without GREEN Heart will not be able to sustain onto next generation. Public demand higher code of ethic from businesses when it comes to environmental protection.
I pray that government can improve the quality of environment by applying multiple instruments, namely voluntary, economy and legal. Policies to encourage zero-waste, zero-carbon, environmental stewardship, greenery, energy efficiency as well as discouraging wasteful habit, excessive consumption and inefficiency should be put in place, and execute thoroughly.
I am talking about tri-partie partnership between the government, community and businesses, the pillar of sustainable development. Without or inequality amongst one will not make our wish for this year World Environment Day to realise.
