      Every year on June 5th, a number of countries throughout the world commemorate World Environment Day to raise awareness about the effects of human   activities on the environment and how they might be reduced. The United Nations is the major governing body for World Environment Day celebrations around the world. Humans, as well as other living creatures, plants, and other organisms on the planet, have the most valuable gift: the environment.
