Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: On World Environment Day
The United Nations recognises June 5 as World Environment Day. It was started in 1972 when the first UN environment conference took place in Stockholm. The aim is to get people to take action to protect our planet. India is hosting it this year, and the theme is plastic pollution. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute looks at what other countries are doing about this environmental issue.
