Around the world, there are many climate change events that take place in order to bring awareness to the fact that our world needs us to change. There are many ways that people can change in order to have a positive impact on our planet. The many events that are held around the world each deal with a different way that people can change in order to bring about a more environmentally friendly attitude. Below are five examples of some events that are geared toward living in a greener way.
Earth hour is an international event that is held once a year in order to raise awareness about the need to change our habits regarding energy consumption. This is done on the last Saturday of March where everyone is asked to turn everything off for one hour in the evening.
Earth Day is an event that is celebrated once a year. The date of when it is held will vary in different places around the world, but the purpose is the same. This is a day that is meant to celebrate our Earth and show our appreciation for our planet. It is also a day when people are encouraged to reflect on what they can do in order to be kinder to our special planet.
Trash to Treasure Day is celebrated once a year in many places where people will put items out on their front lawns for one day. People going by who see something they like are free to take it if they feel they have use for it. This day works on the idea that one person’s junk is another’s treasure. This way, items that would have normally been tossed in the trash are being reused.
World Environment Day, which was created by the United Nations, is a week long event that is hosted by a different city every year and is meant to raise awareness about the state of the environment. Though the main focus remains on the environment, there will be a different environmental theme each year.
B.C. River Day is an event that is held in British Columbia once a year in the Fall and is an event that may very well be celebrated in other places around the world; the event just might be under another name. This particular event is meant to raise awareness about the state of our rivers, lakes and oceans and to encourage change that will help to improve the health of our waterways.
