ARE YOU DOING YOUR BIT FOR NATURE, FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?| WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY | Share your story at #MeTooEarth | SURFACES REPORTER

Join SURFACES REPORTER (SR) in its quest to bring out the untold stories of environment and nature to the forefront. Join the campaign #MeTooEarth on this World Environment Day (June 5).

 

The idea

World Environment Day (June 5) is a crucial celebration of the pressing environmental issues to engage governments, businesses and citizens alike every year. This year's theme, 'Ecosystem Restoration' takes its cue from the fact that,'every three second the world loses enough forest to cover a football pitch and over the last century we have destroyed half of our wetlands. As much as 50 per cent of our coral reefs have already been lost and up to 90 per cent of coral reefs could be lost by 2050, even if global warming is limited to an increase of 1.5°C.'

According to the World Environment Day website, 'Ecosystem restoration means preventing, halting and reversing this damage – to go from exploiting nature to healing it. This World Environment Day will kick off the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, a global mission to revive billions of hectares, from forests to farmlands, from the top of mountains to the depth of the sea.'

#MetooEarth

In order to do our bit, SURFACES REPORTER (SR) invites entries/ ideas/ initiatives on #MeTooEarth by SR. The submissions could be

  • Nature photography in b&w or colour
  • Projects with sustainability at its core
  • Other environment / sustainability initiatives (that have made a positive difference)

A person may submit one or more entries in more than one category. There is no age limit as SR feels saving environment is not age-bound. Anyone and everyone can do his bit.
