Today is World Environment Day. To mark this symbolic occasion, the Ypiranga association is encouraging people to take concrete action to protect the environment by sorting and recycling waste. And there are plenty of ways to get involved in environmental protection!
How can I take part in the World Environment Day challenge?
The Ypiranga Association, a Martinican organization dedicated to the local economy and environmental protection, is proposing a challenge for this day: choose a simple yet meaningful action to protect the environment. When repeated by thousands of people, a small gesture can go viral… and make a positive difference for the environment!
The association offers some very concrete suggestions:
- Starting a Compost Bin
- Bringing Your Organic Waste to the Shared Compost Bin
- Planting a honey plant
- Pick up 10 pieces of litter
- Use a reusable water bottle instead of a disposable one
- Share a tip for reducing food waste
To show your commitment and help this trend go viral, you can take a photo and post it on social media, tagging Tivoli’s eco-center or the Ypiranga association. «Together, let’s make this World Environment Day an opportunity to take concrete action for our region and our planet,» emphasize the challenge’s organizers.
Exchanges & Meetings
For those who aren’t yet convinced of the importance of protecting the environment or who still have questions, the association’s experts are offering an opportunity for discussion on this International Environment Day. Any questions can be directed to the organization via Facebook or Instagram, and the organization’s teams will try to answer them within the day.
World Environment Day is an opportunity to remind ourselves that the environment must be protected on an international scale, but that it is small actions that lead to tangible progress. Let’s work together to protect the environment and take the right steps!
