Theme for World Environment Day: Air Pollution
Air pollution is the theme for World Environment Day on 5 June 2019. The quality of the air we breathe depends on the lifestyle choices we make every day.
Today, nine out of every ten people breathe polluted air. From 24 May, through to World Environment Day, you can join the Mask Challenge. Face masks are supposed to be a great symbol to show leaders you want to breathe clean air. Alongside celebrities, influencers and creators, the World Environment Day campaign invites everyone to decide what action you are going to take to #BeatAirPollution.
