World Environment Day 2011

Ensure your students are aware of the importance of caring, and ways to care, 

for our environment.
Each year on June 5 since 1972,  "the UNAA seeks to focus world attention on the environment, and in particular, on positive programs that work towards protecting or restoring the world's natural heritage." http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/melbourne_details.php?id=11609

World Environment Day (WED) 2011 is aimed to be the biggest, most widely celebrated, 
global day for positive, environmental action.
