SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses.\nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies.

The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

SUMMARY:Global Car Recycling Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is Global Car Recycling Day?\n\nGlobal Car Recycling Day is an annual event established to raise awareness of the importance of responsible car recycling – protecting our environment and supporting sustainable car production.\n\nIt’s clear that while most countries’ populations love their cars\, at the end of the cars’ lives they are not always shown the same love and neither is the environment! While domestic recycling is second nature in most economically developed nations\, cars are a complicated and potentially environmentally dangerous item – even more so with the advent of electric vehicles – that many people are still unaware can be effectively recycled.\n\nWith over 1.4 billion cars on roads globally\, it’s vital the public makes\, and has the option to make\, a responsible choice when their vehicle gets to the end of its life.\n\nGlobal Car Recycling Day is driven by international car recycling expert CarTakeBack. Operating with government agencies\, numerous leading vehicle manufacturers\, hundreds of recyclers\, world-leading recycling experts and most importantly serving climate-conscious customers\, CarTakeBack felt it was vital to draw more attention to this unique recycling issue across the world… Hence the birth of Global Car Recycling Day!\n\nWhen is Global Car Recycling Day 2024?\n\n20th June is a day to raise awareness with the public about responsible car recycling\, also to highlight the need for governments across the world to tighten car recycling regulations and support related industries. The public can drive that progress by demanding an environmentally responsible route for the disposal of their old car.\n\nThis awareness day can also celebrate the vehicle dismantlers and recyclers that are delivering initiatives to support vehicle manufacturers. Circular economies – key to sustainable car production – can only be achieved when the disposal of cars is considered from conception and effective car recycling is achieved.\n\nGlobal Car Recycling Day needs to generate conversations in homes\, businesses and governments about how important car recycling is if we are to maintain the world’s most popular form of travel and protect our environment.\n\nYou can get involved in the chat on Twitter using the hashtag #GlobalCarRecyclingDay.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year.\nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2024
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active.\nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2024
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since.\nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2024
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture \nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

DESCRIPTION:What is Idling Awareness Day?\nIdling Awareness Day is a day created by vehicle technology specialist\, HH Driveright  to communicate the negative impacts associated with leaving a vehicle engine idling\, whether that is in standing traffic\, on a driveway\, or whilst stationary on the road for any other reason. \nHH Driveright hope that Idling Awareness Day will raise awareness of the totally unnecessary CO2 emissions generated and pushed out into the environment\, because of drivers leaving their engines idling when there is no need to do so. \nThe message behind Idling Awareness Day is that drivers taking the simple action of turning their engines off\, until ready to move again\, would help air quality\, particularly at key times\, such as when children are walking to or from school. \nThey also aim to show fleet and private drivers how the bad habit of idling is costing them far too much\, in terms of wasted fuel expenditure and how valuable savings could be made\, if drivers recognised that fact. \nHH Driveright hopes to plant the seed in drivers heads that ‘keeping on running’ is not the right thing to do. \nWhen is Idling Awareness Day?\nIdling Awareness Day 2024 will take place on the 17th May. \nHow to get involved in Idling Awareness Day 2024  \nMake a change.\nDrivers who regularly engage in engine idling are being asked to adopt a new habit and make a conscious effort to switch off their engines whilst stationary\, at those times when leaving the engine running is totally unnecessary. Making this small change in driving behaviour will contribute to a cleaner environment and better health and also help save money on fuel. \nFleet managers wanting to take steps to cut their CO2 emissions\, can also enquire about HH Driveright’s GM2020 technology\, which identifies when drivers are idling and also calculates CO2 emissions generated by their fleet.

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting.\nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate. \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872. \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action!\n2024 International Dark Sky Week is\, April the 2nd – the 8th! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2024
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize\nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2024
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin.\nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organised events are held in some cities and countries. \nSeptember 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain). \nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. \nThe first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. \nAlso in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. \nThe event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world.

An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:European Mobility Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Europeans love variety in food\, in fashion\, in music so why is it that when it comes to transport so many of us stick to one mode? This year’s European Mobility Week encourages us to explore the many different options available for getting from A to B\, and to think about the mode that best suits our particular journey. \nPrevious year’s European Mobility Weeks have focused on multimodality‚- the mixing of transport modes within the same journey or for different trips. Many of us instinctively opt for the same method of transport when moving around without necessarily examining the needs of the specific journey. The car may be the best way to take your family to the seaside\, for example\, but is it the best way to get them to the city centre where space and access is often limited? \nThis year\, why not test out different transport modes: cycle to the gym to get a head start on burning calories\, bring your bike on the train to beat the rush hour traffic\, or take the bus and then stroll to the shops to avoid parking fees! \nAs well as providing health benefits\, significant savings can be achieved through a multimodal approach\, particularly when short journeys are completed through walking and cycling. \nEmbracing the concept of multimodality means rethinking the way we move about our cities\, and having the willingness to try out new forms of mobility. \nFrom a city’s perspective\, it requires the political will to support alternative transport methods. \nBy introducing some sustainable transport modes into our journeys\, not only can we have a positive impact on the environment\, we may just find that we’re fitter and happier\, with some extra spending money too!

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). \nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 15th – Sunday 24th September 2023. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2023 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:International Day of Democracy 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Democracy is held on September 15th\, and is held on the same date every year\, and tends to have a theme\, an example of a previous year’s theme was ‘Democracy and Conflict Prevention’. \nInternational Day of Democracy is an annual day that has been running for 10 years. It is a United Nations\, (UN)\, day of observation\, the purpose of the day is to review the state of democracy in the world and uphold and and promote democracy and its principles. The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \nOn the day\, individuals and organisations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \nDemocracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2023
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2023
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying: \nContain no artificial additives or preservatives. \nContain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming. \nConform to high standards of animal welfare. \nContain no genetically modified ingredients. \nHave been produced in a way that is sustainable. \nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2023

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum \nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country \nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes \nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people \nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field \nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

DESCRIPTION:Running from the 22nd of July to the 6th of August\, to take advantage of the tides\, National Marine Week is a chance to celebrate the wonderful wildlife found in the seas around the UK\, and our relationship with this incredible habitat that surrounds us. \nWildlife Trusts around the UK will be holding sea-themed events\, from snorkelling through the waters of Wembury Bay in Devon\, to exploring the rockpools of Yorkshire’s Boggle Hole on a seashore safari\, or even picnicking with a porpoise on the clifftops of North Wales. \nNo matter where you are in the UK\, there’s plenty to celebrate: our seas are home to over half of all our wildlife (more than 30\,000 species)\, contribute to flood management and water purification\, and provide the oxygen for every other breath you take! \nAnd remember\, in the UK you’re never more than 70 miles from the sea. \nLearn more about events and how you can get involved on our National Marine Week page.

SUMMARY:National Simplicity Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau\, who was born on July 12\, 1817. Thoreau was an advocate of living simply and wrote a number of well known books on the subject. \nIn the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s\, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts\, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment. \nHappy National Simplicity Day!

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues \nJuly 11th every year is World Population Day. This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \nThe Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. \nIn 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \nMillions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out) \n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim) \n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru) \n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely) \n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood) \n6. Feed your mind. (read a book) \n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles!

SUMMARY:National Catfish Day in the USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:No\, this has absolutely nothing to do with MTV\, the internet or dating. This unsurprisingly has everything to do with catfish! Perhaps one of the lesser known days of recognition and celebration\, National Catfish Day has assisted the continued growth of this specific type of aqua farming across the USA. \nJune 25 is National Catfish Day in the USA. The holiday was designated by President Ronald Reagan on June 25 in 1987. National Catfish Day celebrates the value of farm-raised fish. \nOriginally the commemorative bill was proposed by Congressmen Mike Epsy\, who having recognised the industry as growing in his home state\, endeavoured to encourage the growth of the industry further afield. Catfish were not a popular choice of delicacy at the time. Although initially the bill was unsuccessful\, Mr Epsy garnered support from fellow congressmen and was also able\, by providing the best catfish luncheons to military leaders\, to ensure catfish was added to the military commissary menu. As a result his popularity at election time grew in his home state\, thanks to the increase in demand for catfish\, as did support for the bill. The text of the Proclamation by President Ronald Reagan\, illustrates the boom in the industry\, the increase in sales and the innovative methods developed to ensure the highest standards were met. \nSo why not look up some Catfish recipes and find out just why they make one of the USA’s most popular fish to eat? \n  \n

SUMMARY:Day of the Seafarer 2023
DESCRIPTION:June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer\, an annual and international event day coordinated by the International Maritime Organisation. \nLast year’s Day of the Seafarer celebrated seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone. This year the Day will recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade\, the world economy and civil society as a whole\, with the theme Seafarers Matter’. \nThe day recognises the unique and vital role of seafarers in the global community\, and the United Nations recognise the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day. \nThe Day of the Seafarer was established in 2010 by by a resolution adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila. The revised International Convention on Standards of Training\, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW)\, the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers\, for their safety\, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this. The convention’s aim was to recognise the contribution by seafarers to society and economy globally. \nThe resolution encourages governments\, shipping firms\, companies associated with sea trade and others\, to promote and uphold sea trade and seafarers through the Day of the Seafarer. \nThe day encourages international public and official conversation about seafarers and seafaring\, and the well-being of those involved in it\, and interactive media relating to the Day of the Seafarer has proved extremely popular around the world\, for example quizzes and interactive maps\, videos and photo galleries\, and social media hashtags and discussions. The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online. \nLeading up to the 25 June\, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.

SUMMARY:World Sand Dune Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes. \nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers\, bryophytes\, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities\, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature\, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown. \nOver the last 80 years\, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes\, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants\, lower levels of grazing\, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown\, rare wildlife has declined. \nThe day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage\, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay. \nSands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT/UK/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The £4 million project\, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW)\, will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes\, across four Special Areas of Conservation\, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union\, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding. \nDynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT/UK/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England\, Plantlife\, Natural Resources Wales\, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. For more information visit http://www.dynamicdunescapes.co.uk

SUMMARY:World Female Ranger Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is World Female Ranger Week?\nAdventurer Holly Budge launches World Female Ranger Week (June 23-30th\, 2023) to amplify the impact of female wildlife rangers on a global stage. This ground-breaking global awareness week\, spearheaded by international NGO\, How Many Elephants (HME) celebrates and supports female wildlife rangers – They’re bold\, changing the game and paving the way for women to stand alongside men at the forefront of conservation\, but they need allies.\n\nThe pioneering World Female Ranger Week (WFRW) includes online and live events\, plus a fundraising platform – http://www.worldfemalerangerweek.org – to raise vital funds for the ranger teams and share their stories. \nThe founder of How Many Elephants and World Female Ranger Week\, Holly Budge says\, “having patrolled with multiple ranger teams in Africa\, I’ve seen first-hand how these bold women are impacting lives; Protecting wildlife\, uplifting communities and empowering other women. WFRW highlights the significant gender imbalance in environmental conservation. My team and I will continue collating gender-specific data about female rangers globally\, enabling us to identify their needs\, find tangible solutions and help build effective policies to contribute towards positive outcomes; for female rangers and conservation as a whole.” \nAs champions of wildlife conservation\, as role models\, as educators and as beacons of hope\, female rangers are not only transforming attitudes towards the role of women around the world; they are showing the capabilities and success of females in traditionally male roles. However\, less than 11% of the global wildlife ranger workforce is female. With women being natural communicators\, protectors and investing their earned income in their families\, bringing gender equality into the workforce enhances community conservation efforts and relationships. Over the last two years\, the pandemic has crippled tourism and funding for conservation projects globally. The lack of tourists visiting National Parks has led to many rangers losing their jobs or having significant salary cuts. The knock-on effect of this is huge. For example\, one ranger in Africa may support up to 16 family members. Additionally\, reduced vigilance in tourist hotspots has left wildlife even more vulnerable to poaching. \nSo\, the often-challenging work of rangers is paramount right now. Day and night\, female rangers patrol wilderness areas\, monitoring wildlife\, seizing snares\, working with communities and in some cases\, arresting poachers\, all to save iconic species from extinction. They are away from their families for long periods\, sometimes facing workplace security issues and battling social stigma. Many of these inspirational women have overcome adversity\, poverty and marginalisation. Becoming a ranger has empowered them\, turned them into breadwinners and property owners\, and has allowed them access to higher education and much-needed healthcare. They need our support to continue their vital work. \n\nWhen is World Female Ranger Week? \nJune 23rd-30th 2023 (and annually)\nHow to get involved in World Female Ranger Week?\n\nWorld Female Ranger Week is seeking long-term strategic partnerships with companies\, associations\, and global citizens to expand the campaign’s reach to strengthen the support of female rangers. Businesses and individuals can set up fundraising pages via worldfemalerangerweek.org. \nFor updates\, follow @worldfemalerangerweek on Instagram and Facebook\, @femalerangerwk on Twitter\, or use hashtag\, #worldfemalerangerweek.

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

DESCRIPTION:What is Global Car Recycling Day?\n\nGlobal Car Recycling Day is an annual event established to raise awareness of the importance of responsible car recycling – protecting our environment and supporting sustainable car production.\n\nIt’s clear that while most countries’ populations love their cars\, at the end of the cars’ lives they are not always shown the same love and neither is the environment! While domestic recycling is second nature in most economically developed nations\, cars are a complicated and potentially environmentally dangerous item – even more so with the advent of electric vehicles – that many people are still unaware can be effectively recycled.\n\nWith over 1.4 billion cars on roads globally\, it’s vital the public makes\, and has the option to make\, a responsible choice when their vehicle gets to the end of its life.\n\nGlobal Car Recycling Day is driven by international car recycling expert CarTakeBack. Operating with government agencies\, numerous leading vehicle manufacturers\, hundreds of recyclers\, world-leading recycling experts and most importantly serving climate-conscious customers\, CarTakeBack felt it was vital to draw more attention to this unique recycling issue across the world… Hence the birth of Global Car Recycling Day!\n\nWhen is Global Car Recycling Day 2023?\n\n20th June is a day to raise awareness with the public about responsible car recycling\, also to highlight the need for governments across the world to tighten car recycling regulations and support related industries. The public can drive that progress by demanding an environmentally responsible route for the disposal of their old car.\n\nThis awareness day can also celebrate the vehicle dismantlers and recyclers that are delivering initiatives to support vehicle manufacturers. Circular economies – key to sustainable car production – can only be achieved when the disposal of cars is considered from conception and effective car recycling is achieved.\n\nGlobal Car Recycling Day needs to generate conversations in homes\, businesses and governments about how important car recycling is if we are to maintain the world’s most popular form of travel and protect our environment.\n\nYou can get involved in the chat on Twitter using the hashtag #GlobalCarRecyclingDay.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2023
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2023
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active. \nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world.

People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2023
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture \nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:Idling Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Idling Awareness Day?\nIdling Awareness Day is a day created by vehicle technology specialist\, HH Driveright  to communicate the negative impacts associated with leaving a vehicle engine idling\, whether that is in standing traffic\, on a driveway\, or whilst stationary on the road for any other reason. \nHH Driveright hope that Idling Awareness Day will raise awareness of the totally unnecessary CO2 emissions generated and pushed out into the environment\, because of drivers leaving their engines idling when there is no need to do so. \nThe message behind Idling Awareness Day is that drivers taking the simple action of turning their engines off\, until ready to move again\, would help air quality\, particularly at key times\, such as when children are walking to or from school. \nThey also aim to show fleet and private drivers how the bad habit of idling is costing them far too much\, in terms of wasted fuel expenditure and how valuable savings could be made\, if drivers recognised that fact. \nHH Driveright hopes to plant the seed in drivers heads that ‘keeping on running’ is not the right thing to do. \nWhen is Idling Awareness Day?\nIdling Awareness Day 2023 will take place on the 17th May. \nHow to get involved in Idling Awareness Day 2023  \nMake a change.\nDrivers who regularly engage in engine idling are being asked to adopt a new habit and make a conscious effort to switch off their engines whilst stationary\, at those times when leaving the engine running is totally unnecessary. Making this small change in driving behaviour will contribute to a cleaner environment and better health and also help save money on fuel. \nFleet managers wanting to take steps to cut their CO2 emissions\, can also enquire about HH Driveright’s GM2020 technology\, which identifies when drivers are idling and also calculates CO2 emissions generated by their fleet.

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:National Clean Air Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:Clean Air Month is observed in May each year across the United States\, sponsored by the American Lung Association since 1972. Initially a week long campaign the event was lengthened to a month long one in 1994. The month long awareness campaign aims to : educate people about the impact that clean air has on our lives \nencourages people to take positive steps to improve the air quality – both locally and globally. \nClean Air Month is also an opportunity to celebrate the improvements that have been made over the last 4 decades since the campaign was launched and the Clean Air Act included into legislation in 1970. \nThe consequences of poor air quality are well known and can include cancer\, bronchitis\, allergies and asthma. But it is probably less well known how much of what we do impacts the air quality around us. \nThis month you can find out more about how what we do and use effects the air quality and also join in with a range of activities\, such as holding ‘Bike to work day ‘ or ‘car share day’. Many activities are led by the American Lung Association and educate as well as involve all members of the community\, highlighting ways you can have a beneficial impact on the quality of the air we breath. Keep an eye out in your community for more information or contact your local branch of the ALA.

SUMMARY:Sun Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) currently runs a national campaign around skin cancer called Sun Awareness\, which includes National Sun Awareness Week in May. This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sun beds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sun bed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sun bed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 1st -7th May 2023. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed. \nWhat damage can the sun cause? \nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun. \nWho is affected? \nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting. \nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate. \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872. \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment.

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Malaria Day is held each year on April 25th. This annual event is a worldwide effort\, to raise awareness of Malaria and funds for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention. The day also marks the continuing great achievements in the fight against Malaria. \nLast year’s theme for World Malaria Day was ‘End Malaria for Good’ and the day is hosted by the World Health Organization. \nThe World Health Organization is putting prevention of malaria to the forefront in this event\, with the aim of reducing the massive global death toll of 400\,000 people to Malaria every year. Efforts to highlight prevention has been reducing the death toll\, especially through the use of insecticide and mosquito nets\, as mosquitos are the most common carriers and spreaders of Malaria. The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2023 International Dark Sky Week is\, April 15 – 22nd! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2023
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize \nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2023
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin. \nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:Fairtrade Fortnight 2023
DESCRIPTION:27 February to 12 March 2023 \nInformation about Fairtrade Fortnight 2023 will be coming soon. Sign up to emails to stay up to date. \nWHAT IS FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT \nFor two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March\, thousands of individuals\, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes\, people who are often exploited and underpaid. \nIn 2019\, we launched our campaign calling on U.K. Government and companies to ensure cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030\, in line with the UN’s Global Goals to end poverty. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 we continued our campaign to raise awareness of the struggles of cocoa farming and to demand living incomes for cocoa farmers. \nA living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life\, paying for essentials such as clothing\, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right. \nRead more about our Fight for Living Incomes campaign \nOnly Fairtrade is campaigning publicly for the right to a living income for farmers – men and women. Only Fairtrade Standards cover: \nPrice: The Fairtrade Premium and the Fairtrade Minimum Price are driving real change\, right now. The Fairtrade Minimum Price provides a safety net that protects farmers from low prices for their crops. \nPremium: Fairtrade farmers and workers choose how they spend the Fairtrade Premium\, which they can use to make their farms and communities stronger. It also allows them to invest in different ways of making money\, so that they are less reliant on the unpredictable cocoa market. Read more about the Fairtrade Premium \nWomen’s empowerment: Fairtrade is also supporting more women cocoa farmers to take the reins and stand tall alongside men. Fairtrade Standards make sure that they have a voice in their community\, are represented in decision-making and benefit from Fairtrade. We know that independent income in the hands of women brings positive change to communities even faster. \nEnvironment: While you can’t protect the planet without protecting its people first\, rigorous Fairtrade Standards support farmers to protect the environment and the Fairtrade Premium is enabling them to invest in climate resilience and adaptation. \nIn late 2019\, we travelled back to West Africa\, to meet some truly inspiring women who want their stories to be heard. This Fortnight we need your help to share their stories and show people in the UK why we need them to choose Fairtrade. \nGET INVOLVED \nDetails about Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will be coming soon.

SUMMARY:Veganuary 2023
DESCRIPTION:Launched in the UK in January 2014\, Veganuary (pronounced vee-GAN-uary) is a registered charity (1168566) that encourages people to try vegan for January. \nVeganism is one of the most effective choices a person can make to reduce the suffering of animals\, help the planet and improve personal health. \nVeganuary is dedicated to changing public attitudes\, while providing all the information and practical support required to make the transition to veganism as easy and enjoyable as possible.

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” ‚ UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon\nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15. The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014 far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \nThroughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move.

SUMMARY:Human Rights Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Human Rights Day commemorates the day the General Assembly of the UN adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UDHR is one of UN’s major achievements as well as the first enunciation of human rights across the world. \nAdopted on 10th December 1948\, the Declaration stipulates universal values and a shared standard of achievement for everyone in every country. While the Declaration is not a binding document\, it inspired over 60 human rights instruments that today make a common standard of human rights. It is the most translated document around the globe available in over 500 languages. \nHuman Rights Day celebrates all our inalienable rights and freedoms including a right to education\, a decent living\, health care and a right to live free from any form of discrimination among others. \nDespite the efforts to protect human rights\, the hostility toward human rights and those who defend them continues to rise. As a result\, this year’s Human Rights Day advocates for everyone to stand up for their rights and those of others civil\, economic\, political and cultural rights. Additionally\, the day aims to enlighten us about how our rights are a foundation of sustainable development and peaceful societies. The day also acknowledges the advocates and defenders of human rights around the world.

SUMMARY:International Volunteers Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Volunteer Day (IVD) on 5 December was designated by the United Nations in 1985 as an international observance day to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism. \nIt is an opportunity for volunteers\, and volunteer organisations\, to raise awareness of\, and gain understanding for\, the contribution they make to their communities. It is also viewed as a unique chance for volunteers and organisations to celebrate their efforts\, to share their values\, and to promote their work among their communities\, non-governmental organisations (NG0’s)\, United Nations agencies\, government authorities and the private sector.\nThe act of volunteering is found in all cultures\, languages\, and religions. Each year\, hundreds of millions of people volunteer their time and skills to help make the world a better place. When they volunteer\, they help to improve the lives of others. And when they volunteer\, they also gain a greater sense of belonging to their communities.\nOn 5 December\, people around the world will celebrate IVD with rallies\, parades\, volunteer fairs\, group clean ups\, blood donations\, conferences\, exhibitions\, fundraising\, workshops and volunteer recognition events.

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day  is held annually on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment.

SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Geography Week was established by National Geographic as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in every day life affect the world we live in. Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments – so it really does affect us all. You don’t have to be an activist\, eco-warrior or as high profile as Greta Thunberg to become involved! \n As Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues\, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings. \n With little education historically taking place about these matters\, National Geographic identified huge gaps in Americans knowledge and therefore began this campaign to raise awareness\, educate and most importantly inspire people to become better informed and active. \n Established by presidential proclamation more than 25 years ago\, this annual public awareness program encourages citizens young and old to think and learn about the significance of place and how we affect and are affected by it. Every year more than 100\,000 people participate in National Geography week and contribute to its events\, games\, classroom challenges. It is also a perfect time to engage with business leaders and policy makers in an attempt to positively influence decisions. \n Currently a topic with huge media and political focus\, this is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and share it with others within your community. Who knows…if we all took part\, imagine the positive changes we could make on our world.

SUMMARY:No Dig Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is No Dig Day?\nHow to start a no dig bed & why November is a great time to do it – No Dig Day caption competition – children’s competition – giveaways – Charles’ special video premier event on the day – no dig lunch ideas and more…\nNo dig allows you to work in harmony with your soil for healthy plants and bumper crops\, without huge effort. With the no dig method\, soil drains well\, holds warmth and moisture\, and retains its organic matter and carbon. You can pop in seeds and plants at any time\, with no mud. Best of all is that weeds are few. You have more time for creative gardening and to make compost. \nYour work is at the surface only. \nWhen starting out\, the first step is to smother existing weeds – see this page. After that\, and just once a year\, spread 2–3 cm / 1 in of any type of compost on beds\, and a similar depth of wood chip on paths. This feeds soil organisms\, which maintain aeration and drainage. Their excretions hold nutrients in stable forms that are not water-soluble. \nNovember is an excellent time of year to create a new bed and you can sow/plant broad beans and garlic straightaway (or see this Sowing Guide for ideas if you are in the Southern Hemisphere). Marking No Dig Day in November also gives us all another reason to get out into our gardens at a time of year when many might be tempted to stay indoors. \nLots of people in the UK and around the world are growing their own vegetables with the no dig method.

SUMMARY:World Animal Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Animal Day is a day of action recognised worldwide for animal rights as well as welfare. It is celebrated on 4 October\, Francis of Assisi feast day\, the animals’ patron saint. \nThe mission of this day is raising the status of animals to improve welfare standards worldwide. Building the celebration of this day brings together the animal welfare movement\, and mobilises it to become a global force in making the world that we live in a better and safer place for all animals. \nThe World Animal Day is celebrated in various ways in every nation\, irrespective of political ideology\, faith\, religion or nationality. Through increased awareness plus education\, we are able to create a world whereby animals are always acknowledged as sentient beings plus full regard is constantly paid to their welfare. \nHeinrich Zimmermann started the World Animal Day. On 24 March 1925\, he organised the first-ever World Animal Day at Sports Palace located it Berlin\, German. More than 5\,000 people attended the first event. It was initially scheduled for 4 Oct to align with Saint Francis of Assisi feast day\, but the venue wasn’t available on that very day. In 1929\, the World Animal Day was moved to 4 Oct for the first time. \nAt first\, he only found a following in Czechoslovakia\, Switzerland\, Austria and Germany. Every year\, Zimmermann worked with great effort to promote the World Animal Day. Eventually\, in May 1931 while he was at the ISAR congress in Florence\, Italy\, Zimmermann’s proposal to make 4 Oct World Animal Day internationally recognised\, was unanimously accepted and it was adopted as a resolution.

SUMMARY:National Hygiene Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is National Hygiene Week?\nNational Hygiene Week returns on 3rd – 9th October to help raise awareness about hygiene poverty and it’s impact on those pulled into poverty. The Hygiene Bank’s 3rd national Hygiene Week will host a mix of activities bringing individuals\, communities\, businesses and thought leaders together to tackle hygiene poverty. \nRising poverty levels in the UK is a growing concern. In December 2021\, The Joseph Rowntree Foundation suggested that 200\,000 people were pulled into deep poverty as a result of rapidly increasing inflation costs. \nThose experiencing hygiene poverty can often be held back from fully participating in society due to the negative impact on health and mental well-being such as avoiding school\, not being able to join in sports\, impact on employability\, and less social interactions. \nThe Hygiene Bank is a national\, grassroots\, volunteer-powered charity with a vision that one day everyone living in the UK will have access to essential hygiene products. Their network of projects exists to provide basics to people living in poverty who are unable to afford to stay clean. They believe feeling clean should not be a luxury or a privilege in the modern world and so they work to inspire social change. \n\nWhen is National Hygiene Week 2022?\nNational Hygiene Week returns from the 3rd-9th October 2022\, to help raise awareness about hygiene poverty and its impact on those pulled into poverty. \nHow to get involved in National Hygiene Week 2022.\nMany organisations in the third and private sector have gotten involved in previous National Hygiene Weeks participating in events and actions such as panel discussions\, educational resources for schools\, social media campaign\, media coverage\, MP engagement and more. Participating organisations included Boots UK\, Centre for Social Justice\, FareShare\, HeyGirls\, icanyoucantoo\, In Kind Direct\, Joseph Rowntree Foundation\, Little Village\, Pura\, The New Social Covenant\, Mayor’s Fund for London\, Star Academies\, Trussell Trust\, Unilever\, Women’s Aid\, and more. \nYou can learn more about National Hygiene Week here. \nIf you would like to get involved in National Hygiene Week 2022\, please email NHW@thehygienebank.com.

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world. Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:After much deliberation we are thrilled to announce that Shetland Wool Week will be going ahead in person this year. It will be a scaled back version of our usual physical event as our main focus will be on delivering SWW in full for 2023. \n\nThe all-important dates are Saturday 24 September to Sunday 2 October 2022.\n\nFor the past two years we have run a virtual event\, but this year\, with Covid restrictions lifting around the world\, we wanted to take our first steps towards bringing a physical event back and will be calling it ‘Casting on Shetland Wool Week’. \nThis temporary name change is an indication of how this year’s event will be quite different in scale from previous physical Wool Weeks. With the ongoing uncertainty of new Covid variants\, and ever-mindful of our small island community\, our programme will be reduced in size from previous years. \nHow will this year’s SWW be different?\nWhile this year’s event will include classes in popular topics\, such as Fair Isle knitting\, weaving and lace\, we will not have the variety and sheer number of workshops as before\, so there will be limited capacity and choice. There will be tours\, talks and textile drop ins at community halls throughout the isles\, but it is looking likely that the large-scale public gatherings\, such as the opening ceremony\, and much-loved Hub space at the Shetland Museum may be omitted.

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside. Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas. Most of them are open for recreational use. \nThe Nations largest volunteer event\, the event was first held in 1994 when 700 volunteers worked at three sites. The initiative turned out a huge success and became an annual tradition. \nBy 2014\, participation grew to about 175\,000 volunteers at more than 2\,000 sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment. Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\, public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations. NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nFree for all to attend and volunteers welcomed\, what a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors\, breathe in the fresh air\, enjoy the scenery and even volunteer!

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen. The first official Outdoor Sportsmen Day was celebrated in 1970 with the day becoming nationally recognized two years later. \nContrary to popular belief\, anglers and hunters are avid supporters of wildlife conservation. They stand for sustainable use of game and fish. American outdoor sportsmen have made a great contribution to protecting and improving vital habitat and saving many species from unregulated exploitation. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on raising public awareness about the importance of the wise use of natural resources\, promoting wildlife conversation and outdoor sports. On this day\, local\, state\, regional and national organizations hold fishing- and hunting-related events providing participants with an opportunity to experience traditional outdoor sports. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day\, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September\, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation. \nWith events taking place across the country\, why not visit the dedicated website to find out whats going on in your area. This is not only a great opportunity to learn a new sport\, but also to become more involved with conservation and environmental issues.

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2022
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts. \nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2020\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster.

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organised events are held in some cities and countries. \nSeptember 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain). \nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. \nThe first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. \nAlso in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. \nThe event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Recycle Week is Recycle Now’s flagship annual event which is a celebration of recycling across the nation. Now in its 19th year\, it’s the one week of the year where retailers\, brands\, waste management companies\, trade associations\, governments and the media come together to achieve one goal: to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things\, more often. \nThis year’s theme: Step It Up this Recycle Week \nThe Climate Crisis is a tough subject. But we’re a nation of even tougher subjects. The last 15 months have shown that. And while throughout the past year many things have happened over which we’ve had no control\, the Climate Crisis is something we can actively do something about. Every one of us\, every single day. Most of us already do\, through small but powerful habits – like recycling. We know environmental concerns are still on the increase\, so we need to do more. We need to do it now. And we need to act together. It’s time to join the fight against climate change. Step It Up this Recycle Week. \nWith our proven track record of tapping into national conversations and sentiments\, this year’s Recycle Week is set to be a truly impactful national event.

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). \nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 16th – Sunday 25th September 2022. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2022 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK 2022
DESCRIPTION:Europeans love variety in food\, in fashion\, in music so why is it that when it comes to transport so many of us stick to one mode? This year’s European Mobility Week encourages us to explore the many different options available for getting from A to B\, and to think about the mode that best suits our particular journey. \n Previous year’s European Mobility Weeks have focused on multimodality‚- the mixing of transport modes within the same journey or for different trips. Many of us instinctively opt for the same method of transport when moving around without necessarily examining the needs of the specific journey. The car may be the best way to take your family to the seaside\, for example\, but is it the best way to get them to the city centre where space and access is often limited? \n This year\, why not test out different transport modes: cycle to the gym to get a head start on burning calories\, bring your bike on the train to beat the rush hour traffic\, or take the bus and then stroll to the shops to avoid parking fees! \n As well as providing health benefits\, significant savings can be achieved through a multimodal approach\, particularly when short journeys are completed through walking and cycling. \n Embracing the concept of multimodality means rethinking the way we move about our cities\, and having the willingness to try out new forms of mobility. \n From a city’s perspective\, it requires the political will to support alternative transport methods. \n By introducing some sustainable transport modes into our journeys\, not only can we have a positive impact on the environment\, we may just find that we’re fitter and happier\, with some extra spending money too!

The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \n On the day\, individuals and organisations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \n Democracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN.

SUMMARY:Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day is an annual United States observance that falls on the first Saturday after Labor Day. In 2022 the day falls on September 10th. The day is designed to encourage participation of American citizens in the cleanup of federal lands. \n The observance was established in 1985 as the Federal Lands National Cleanup Day.

However\, schools often organize various activities dedicated to environmental protection. \n What a fantastic way to be a part of your community and have something to feel proud of!

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2022
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \n Poverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \n In recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \n This 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2022
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying: \nContain no artificial additives or preservatives. \nContain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming. \nConform to high standards of animal welfare. \nContain no genetically modified ingredients. \nHave been produced in a way that is sustainable. \nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:On the 19th August each year we celebrate World Humanitarian Day. The purpose of World Humanitarian Day is to raise awareness of the plight of civilians around the world who have become caught up in conflicts\, and also honour and raise support for the humanitarian workers who risk\, and sometimes lose\, their lives to help. \n Over 130 million people throughout the world are currently in crisis\, either through war or natural disasters and are in need of humanitarian aid. \n World Humanitarian Day was established in 2008 by the United Nations General Assembly and was first officially celebrated in 2009.

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum \nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country \nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes \nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people \nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field \nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

DESCRIPTION:National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau\, who was born on July 12\, 1817. Thoreau was an advocate of living simply and wrote a number of well known books on the subject. \n In the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s\, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts\, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment. \n Happy National Simplicity Day!

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues \n July 11th every year is World Population Day. This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \n The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. \n In 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \n Millions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out) \n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim) \n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru) \n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely) \n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood) \n6. Feed your mind. (read a book) \n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n

SUMMARY:World Sand Dune Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes. \nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers\, bryophytes\, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities\, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature\, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown. \nOver the last 80 years\, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes\, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants\, lower levels of grazing\, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown\, rare wildlife has declined. \nThe day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage\, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay. \nSands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT/UK/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The £4 million project\, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW)\, will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes\, across four Special Areas of Conservation\, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union\, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding. \nDynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT/UK/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England\, Plantlife\, Natural Resources Wales\, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. For more information visit http://www.dynamicdunescapes.co.uk

SUMMARY:Day of the Seafarer 2022
DESCRIPTION:June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer\, an annual and international event day coordinated by the International Maritime Organisation. \n Last year’s Day of the Seafarer celebrated seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone. This year the Day will recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade\, the world economy and civil society as a whole\, with the theme Seafarers Matter’. \n The day recognises the unique and vital role of seafarers in the global community\, and the United Nations recognise the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day. \n The Day of the Seafarer was established in 2010 by by a resolution adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila. The revised International Convention on Standards of Training\, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW)\, the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers\, for their safety\, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this. The convention’s aim was to recognise the contribution by seafarers to society and economy globally. \n The resolution encourages governments\, shipping firms\, companies associated with sea trade and others\, to promote and uphold sea trade and seafarers through the Day of the Seafarer. \n The day encourages international public and official conversation about seafarers and seafaring\, and the well-being of those involved in it\, and interactive media relating to the Day of the Seafarer has proved extremely popular around the world\, for example quizzes and interactive maps\, videos and photo galleries\, and social media hashtags and discussions. The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online. \n Leading up to the 25 June\, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.

SUMMARY:National Catfish Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:No\, this has absolutely nothing to do with MTV\, the internet or dating. This unsurprisingly has everything to do with catfish! Perhaps one of the lesser known days of recognition and celebration\, National Catfish Day has assisted the continued growth of this specific type of aqua farming across the USA. \n June 25 is National Catfish Day in the USA. The holiday was designated by President Ronald Reagan on June 25 in 1987. National Catfish Day celebrates the value of farm-raised fish. \n Originally the commemorative bill was proposed by Congressmen Mike Epsy\, who having recognised the industry as growing in his home state\, endeavoured to encourage the growth of the industry further afield. Catfish were not a popular choice of delicacy at the time. Although initially the bill was unsuccessful\, Mr Epsy garnered support from fellow congressmen and was also able\, by providing the best catfish luncheons to military leaders\, to ensure catfish was added to the military commissary menu. As a result his popularity at election time grew in his home state\, thanks to the increase in demand for catfish\, as did support for the bill. The text of the Proclamation by President Ronald Reagan\, illustrates the boom in the industry\, the increase in sales and the innovative methods developed to ensure the highest standards were met. \n So why not look up some Catfish recipes and find out just why they make one of the USA’s most popular fish to eat? \n   \n

SUMMARY:World Female Ranger Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is World Female Ranger Week?\nAdventurer Holly Budge launches World Female Ranger Week (June 23-30th\, 2022) to amplify the impact of female wildlife rangers on a global stage. This ground-breaking global awareness week\, spearheaded by international NGO\, How Many Elephants (HME) celebrates and supports female wildlife rangers – They’re bold\, changing the game and paving the way for women to stand alongside men at the forefront of conservation\, but they need allies.\n\nThe pioneering World Female Ranger Week (WFRW) includes online and live events\, plus a fundraising platform – http://www.worldfemalerangerweek.org – to raise vital funds for the ranger teams and share their stories. \nThe founder of How Many Elephants and World Female Ranger Week\, Holly Budge says\, “having patrolled with multiple ranger teams in Africa\, I’ve seen first-hand how these bold women are impacting lives; Protecting wildlife\, uplifting communities and empowering other women. WFRW highlights the significant gender imbalance in environmental conservation. My team and I will continue collating gender-specific data about female rangers globally\, enabling us to identify their needs\, find tangible solutions and help build effective policies to contribute towards positive outcomes; for female rangers and conservation as a whole.” \nAs champions of wildlife conservation\, as role models\, as educators and as beacons of hope\, female rangers are not only transforming attitudes towards the role of women around the world; they are showing the capabilities and success of females in traditionally male roles. However\, less than 11% of the global wildlife ranger workforce is female. With women being natural communicators\, protectors and investing their earned income in their families\, bringing gender equality into the workforce enhances community conservation efforts and relationships. Over the last two years\, the pandemic has crippled tourism and funding for conservation projects globally. The lack of tourists visiting National Parks has led to many rangers losing their jobs or having significant salary cuts. The knock-on effect of this is huge. For example\, one ranger in Africa may support up to 16 family members. Additionally\, reduced vigilance in tourist hotspots has left wildlife even more vulnerable to poaching. \nSo\, the often-challenging work of rangers is paramount right now. Day and night\, female rangers patrol wilderness areas\, monitoring wildlife\, seizing snares\, working with communities and in some cases\, arresting poachers\, all to save iconic species from extinction. They are away from their families for long periods\, sometimes facing workplace security issues and battling social stigma. Many of these inspirational women have overcome adversity\, poverty and marginalisation. Becoming a ranger has empowered them\, turned them into breadwinners and property owners\, and has allowed them access to higher education and much-needed healthcare. They need our support to continue their vital work. \n\nWhen is World Female Ranger Week? \nJune 23rd-30th 2022 (and annually)\nHow to get involved in World Female Ranger Week?\n\nWorld Female Ranger Week is seeking long-term strategic partnerships with companies\, associations\, and global citizens to expand the campaign’s reach to strengthen the support of female rangers. Businesses and individuals can set up fundraising pages via worldfemalerangerweek.org. \nFor updates\, follow @worldfemalerangerweek on Instagram and Facebook\, @femalerangerwk on Twitter\, or use hashtag\, #worldfemalerangerweek.

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \n In many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies.

They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2022
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2022
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active. \nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:World Environment Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Environment Day is held on June 5th every year. It isn’t a public holiday\, it is an environmental awareness day\, run by the United Nations. It is sometimes also unofficially called Eco Day or Environment Day. The aim of the Day is to raise awareness of the environment and specific environmental issues. \nWorld Environment Day (WED) was established in 1972 but first held in 1974\, which shows that concern about the environment goes back several decades at least. 143 countries take part in World Environment Day\, and the day focuses on environmental concerns ranging from pollution to global warming and sustainable food production to protection of wildlife. \nEvery year there is a new main focus for WED. This year the focus is ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’\, and the press and media are already gearing up for this by reporting on events and efforts to reduce plastic pollution. \nParticipants of WED include NGOs\, governments\, communities\, individuals\, charities\, organizations and celebrities\, and together they raise awareness of environmental issues. Each year a country or Nation hosts WED\, and this year India is the host\, last year Canada hosted it\, and the theme was ‘Connecting People and Nature’. \nWorld Environment Day has had its own anthem since 2013. \nWorld Environment Day can be celebrated in many ways\, activities such as clear up campaigns are popular and will be prominent this year\, also concerts\, conventions and parades\, tree planting\, and lectures. Promotional materials for the day tend to be created using natural environmental colours.

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration \nEvery year\, during the month of June\, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe\, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place\, way back in 1969. \nAs well as being a month long celebration\, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community. Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month\, and there are many street parties\, community events\, poetry readings\, public speaking\, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants. \nThe New York Pride Parade is one of the largest and most well known parades to take place\, with an estimated 500\,000 people participating in it by the time it had reached its 25th anniversary. \nPride Month is so important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+ community\, as well as the wider societal implications. Although attitudes and injustice still remain\, we have come a long way since the riots of 1969 and by continuing in this long standing tradition we continue to raise awareness\, improve the attitudes of society and encourage inclusiveness. #Pride2022 \nWhat were the Stonewall Riots? \nThe riots were prompted by a raid that took place during the early morning\, at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village\, Manhattan. The LGBT community held a series of spontaneous\, often violent demonstrations to protest against the raid and calling for the establishment of places that gays and lesbians could go and be open about their sexual orientation. In such places there should be no fears of being arrested. The riots served as a catalyst for the rights of LGBT people\, and within 6 months\, 2 gay activist groups had formed in New York. Over the years since the event\, many gay rights organisations have been formed. Not just in the US but around the world. \nWhat is LGBT or Gay Pride? \nIt is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. For lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity\, equal rights\, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. \nWho Started the June Celebration? \nKnown as the “Mother of Pride”\, it was Brenda Howard who coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events then developed into the annual LGBT celebrations held every June.

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. \nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in C√¥te d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore.

National Children’s Gardening Week takes place annually in the ‘warm’ week at the end of May. \nThis means that pretty much throughout the UK they can plant all the popular plants with little fear of weather damage or the need for complicated protective growing. \nNational Children’s Gardening Week was the brainwave of Neil Grant\, Managing director of Ferndale Garden Centre near Sheffield who is also BBC Radio Sheffield’s garden expert and co-presenter of their weekly garden phone in\, and it’s widely supported by the whole of the UK garden industry. \nIt’s now an annual festival of fun that’s embraced in homes\, schools\, and community groups across the country\, and supports the amazing Greenfingers charity\, which is dedicated to providing magical gardens for children in hospices suffering from life limiting illnesses. \nTo get involved\, just have a look at the ‘Things to do’ section of the site. \nThe aim of NCGW is to get as many schools\, children and their families involved\, gardening and having fun in their gardens. 2018 was the first year that the HTA took the project on and it turned out to be very successful. The campaign put gardening project ideas in front of half a million of consumers through the website\, social media and in- store.

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat\, Support World Hunger Day 2022 \nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. \nWhat is The Hunger Project? \nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people. \nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support \nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support. \nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar? \nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night.

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2022
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \n Cultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \n At the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \n In 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \n The day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \n Support sustainable systems of governance for culture \n Achieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \n Integrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \n Promote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:Sun Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) currently runs a national campaign around skin cancer called Sun Awareness\, which includes National Sun Awareness Week in May. This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sun beds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sun bed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sun bed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 2nd-8th May 2022. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed. \nWhat damage can the sun cause? \nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun. \nWho is affected? \nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:National Clean Air Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:Clean Air Month is observed in May each year across the United States\, sponsored by the American Lung Association since 1972. Initially a week long campaign the event was lengthened to a month long one in 1994. The month long awareness campaign aims to : educate people about the impact that clean air has on our lives \nencourages people to take positive steps to improve the air quality – both locally and globally. \nClean Air Month is also an opportunity to celebrate the improvements that have been made over the last 4 decades since the campaign was launched and the Clean Air Act included into legislation in 1970. \nThe consequences of poor air quality are well known and can include cancer\, bronchitis\, allergies and asthma. But it is probably less well known how much of what we do impacts the air quality around us. \nThis month you can find out more about how what we do and use effects the air quality and also join in with a range of activities\, such as holding ‘Bike to work day ‘ or ‘car share day’. Many activities are led by the American Lung Association and educate as well as involve all members of the community\, highlighting ways you can have a beneficial impact on the quality of the air we breath. Keep an eye out in your community for more information or contact your local branch of the ALA. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting. \nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate. \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872. \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment.

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Malaria Day is held each year on April 25th. This annual event is a worldwide effort\, to raise awareness of Malaria and funds for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention. The day also marks the continuing great achievements in the fight against Malaria. \nLast year’s theme for World Malaria Day was ‘End Malaria for Good’ and the day is hosted by the World Health Organization. \nThe World Health Organization is putting prevention of malaria to the forefront in this event\, with the aim of reducing the massive global death toll of 400\,000 people to Malaria every year. Efforts to highlight prevention has been reducing the death toll\, especially through the use of insecticide and mosquito nets\, as mosquitos are the most common carriers and spreaders of Malaria. The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2022 International Dark Sky Week is\, April 22 – 30th! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:International Mother Earth Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Mother Earth Day is celebrated to remind each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance. \n It also recognizes a collective responsibility\, as called for in the 1992 Rio Declaration\, to promote harmony with nature and the Earth to achieve a just balance among the economic\, social and environmental needs of present and future generations of humanity. \n International Mother Earth Day provides an opportunity to raise public awareness around the world to the challenges regarding the well-being of the planet and all the life it supports. \n Education is the foundation for progress. We need to build a global citizenry fluent in the concepts of climate change and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet. We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection. \n Environmental and climate literacy is the engine not only for creating green voters and advancing environmental and climate laws and policies but also for accelerating green technologies and jobs.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \n It has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \n That’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:The Big Walk and Wheel 2022 - Previously The Big Pedal
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by UK cycling charity Sustrans\, The Big Walk and Wheel – Previously known as The Big Pedal is the UK’s largest inter-school cycling and scooter-based challenge that aims to inspire and empower kids\, teachers and parents to get on two wheels in order to make the daily trek to school. The Big Walk and Wheel runs for ten school days each year\, and there are prizes galore in store for those who take part. \n\n\n\n\n\nSince Sustrans Big Pedal started in 2011 it has grown to be much more than a cycling competition. \nDuring the two-week challenge schools compete to record the greatest number of pupils walking\, using a wheelchair\, scooting and cycling to school\, whilst learning about the benefits of active travel along the way. \nTo acknowledge the multi-modal nature of the competition\, in 2021 we asked schools to help us find a new name for Sustrans Big Pedal. \nA name that includes walking\, using a wheelchair\, scooting and cycling to reflect its inclusive nature. \nParticipating schools submitted their suggestions and the shortlist was put to a public vote. \nThe clear winner was… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustrans Big Walk and Wheel!\nPlease put 21 March – 1 April 2022 in your diaries for Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel\nThe school challenge has now been running for 11 years. \nIt’s inspired hundreds of thousands of families to take active journeys to school. \nIn 2021\, we took a more flexible approach to the competition to accommodate pupils learning remotely. \nThe results were amazing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustrans Big Pedal 2021 was a great success. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmazing Journeys theme\nThis year we are again trying to make sure as many pupils as possible can take part. \nThat’s why we have designed our interactive school resources to be fun and flexible. \nOur Amazing Journeys theme will encourage pupils to see their local area from a new perspective whilst learning about the benefits of active travel. \nAnd active journeys taken from home or physical activity completed at home counted as one journey in the challenge for pupils learning remotely.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2022
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize \nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2022
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin. \n The spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \n The equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \n In the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:Fairtrade Fortnight 2022
DESCRIPTION:21 February to 6 March 2022 \n Information about Fairtrade Fortnight 2022 will be coming soon. Sign up to emails to stay up to date. \n WHAT IS FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT \n For two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March\, thousands of individuals\, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes\, people who are often exploited and underpaid. \n In 2019\, we launched our campaign calling on U.K. Government and companies to ensure cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030\, in line with the UN’s Global Goals to end poverty. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 we continued our campaign to raise awareness of the struggles of cocoa farming and to demand living incomes for cocoa farmers. \n A living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life\, paying for essentials such as clothing\, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right. \n Read more about our Fight for Living Incomes campaign \n Only Fairtrade is campaigning publicly for the right to a living income for farmers – men and women. Only Fairtrade Standards cover: \n Price: The Fairtrade Premium and the Fairtrade Minimum Price are driving real change\, right now. The Fairtrade Minimum Price provides a safety net that protects farmers from low prices for their crops. \n Premium: Fairtrade farmers and workers choose how they spend the Fairtrade Premium\, which they can use to make their farms and communities stronger. It also allows them to invest in different ways of making money\, so that they are less reliant on the unpredictable cocoa market. Read more about the Fairtrade Premium \n Women’s empowerment: Fairtrade is also supporting more women cocoa farmers to take the reins and stand tall alongside men. Fairtrade Standards make sure that they have a voice in their community\, are represented in decision-making and benefit from Fairtrade. We know that independent income in the hands of women brings positive change to communities even faster. \n Environment: While you can’t protect the planet without protecting its people first\, rigorous Fairtrade Standards support farmers to protect the environment and the Fairtrade Premium is enabling them to invest in climate resilience and adaptation. \n In late 2019\, we travelled back to West Africa\, to meet some truly inspiring women who want their stories to be heard. This Fortnight we need your help to share their stories and show people in the UK why we need them to choose Fairtrade. \n GET INVOLVED \n Details about Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will be coming soon. In the meantime\, there are several ways to get involved with our campaign for living incomes: \n 1. Sign up to emails to stay in touch and receive updates from Fairtrade  \n 2. Follow us on social media and share our campaign content to help us raise awareness of the issues. \n Follow us on Facebook | Follow us on Twitter | Follow us on Instagram | Subscribe to our YouTube channel \n 3.

SUMMARY:World Day of the Sick 2022
DESCRIPTION:February 11 is World Day of the Sick\, an observation started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes.\n People around the world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day. Faith organisations mark this day especially to provide the sick with medicines\, food\, and spiritual guidance.\n Pope John Paul II initiated the day in 1992 to encourage people to pray for those who suffer from illness and for their caregivers. The Pope himself had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s a year before\, in 1991\, and it is considered that his own illness was impetus for his designation of the day. \n Pope Benedict XVI also declared his decision to resign from his post as the Pope on this day in 2013. He cited his failing health as the reason behind his decision.

SUMMARY:National Weatherperson's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:February 5 is National Weatherperson’s Day (or National Weatherman’s Day) in the USA. \n This day is observed by individuals in the field of meteorology\, weather forecasting\, broadcast meteorology. This day is also important for volunteer storm spotters and observers. \n National Weatherperson’s Day commemorates the birthday of John Jeffries\, the first weather observer in the Untied States. He started taking daily weather observation in 1774 in Boston and made his first balloon weather observation in 1784. We take weather forecast for granted and never think what stands behind it. \n Men and women at your local National Weather Service gather raw data\, analyze it and study numerical computer models to issue the weather forecast or warning to protect your life and property. \n National Weather Service improves its capability to warn people of impending hazardous weather. Up to date forecasts are more accurate\, then they were 10 years ago\, and warnings lead time increases year by year. \n Why not find out more about how the weather forecasts we receive daily are collated and communicated and have a bash with your colleagues or school friends at presenting the weather just like they do on TV? \n

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” ‚ UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon\nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15.  The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014  far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \n Throughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move. It paves the way for the adoption of two new global compacts in 2018: the global compact on refugees and the global compact for safe\, orderly and regular migration.

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day 2019 is on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment.

SUMMARY:World Toilet Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is World Toilet Day?\nMore than 4.2 billion people lack access to safely managed sanitation\, and the consequences are devastating. Lack of sanitation is linked with increasing rates of poverty and disease\, especially in developing countries where open defecation is most common. \nThe World Toilet Day campaign aims to raise awareness about the global sanitation crisis. It also focuses on building support for Sustainable Development Goal 6 by 2030 – to achieve universal access to safely managed toilets and clean drinking water. \nWorld Toilet Day (WTD) is an annual event aimed at raising awareness about the global sanitation challenge and mobilising action to tackle it. WTD aims to provide people with information on how they can help solve this problem through behaviour change initiatives in their homes\, schools\, workplaces or communities. \nEveryone can help make a difference when it comes to improving sanitation around the world – from governments\, businesses\, communities and individuals alike. The easiest way? Raise awareness about sustainable sanitation practices so more people will think about their own behaviour towards better toilet hygiene \nFighting Climate Change\nToilets can help us fight climate change too! Waste from flush toilets contains valuable water and nutrients\, while generating energy for the environment. Sustainable sanitation systems make productive use of this waste in order reduce agriculture emissions or capture more greener power with anaerobic digestion technologies. \nSustainable sanitation begins with a toilet that effectively captures human waste in a safe\, accessible\, and dignified setting. The waste then gets stored in a tank\, which can be emptied later by a collection service\, or transported away by pipework. \nThe next stage is treatment and safe disposal. Safe reuse of human waste helps save water\, reduces and captures greenhouse gas emissions for energy production\, and can provide agriculture with a reliable source of water and nutrients. \nWhen is World Toilet Day?\nWorld Toilet Day is celebrated every 19 November. \nJoin the global #WorldToiletDay conversation and show the world how much you care about toilets. \nYou are a vital part of the World Toilet Day campaign running up to 19 November 2021. Get involved on social media using #WorldToiletDay. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Geography Week was established by National Geographic as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in every day life affect the world we live in.  Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments – so it really does affect us all.  You don’t have to be an activist\, eco-warrior or as high profile as Greta Thunberg to become involved! \nAs Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues\, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings. \nWith little education historically taking place about these matters\, National Geographic identified huge gaps in Americans knowledge and therefore began this campaign to raise awareness\, educate and most importantly inspire people to become better informed and active. \nEstablished by presidential proclamation more than 25 years ago\, this annual public awareness program encourages citizens young and old to think and learn about the significance of place and how we affect and are affected by it.  Every year more than 100\,000 people participate in National Geography week and contribute to its events\, games\, classroom challenges.  It is also a perfect time to engage with business leaders and policy makers in an attempt to positively influence decisions. \nCurrently a topic with huge media and political focus\, this is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and share it with others within your community.  Who knows…if we all took part\, imagine the positive changes we could make on our world.

SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Geography Week was established by National Geographic as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in every day life affect the world we live in.  Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments – so it really does affect us all.  You don’t have to be an activist\, eco-warrior or as high profile as Greta Thunberg to become involved! \nAs Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues\, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings. \nWith little education historically taking place about these matters\, National Geographic identified huge gaps in Americans knowledge and therefore began this campaign to raise awareness\, educate and most importantly inspire people to become better informed and active. \nEstablished by presidential proclamation more than 25 years ago\, this annual public awareness program encourages citizens young and old to think and learn about the significance of place and how we affect and are affected by it.  Every year more than 100\,000 people participate in National Geography week and contribute to its events\, games\, classroom challenges.  It is also a perfect time to engage with business leaders and policy makers in an attempt to positively influence decisions. \nCurrently a topic with huge media and political focus\, this is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and share it with others within your community.  Who knows…if we all took part\, imagine the positive changes we could make on our world.

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:After careful consideration\, it is with great regret that we write to inform you that Shetland Wool Week 2021 is cancelled due to the ongoing concerns relating to the Coronavirus pandemic.  We are deeply saddened that our annual gathering of wool aficionados and friends will not take place this autumn. \nWe have held off in the hope that there would be more positive news. While the initial roll out of vaccines is encouraging\, it is still a time of great uncertainty and our primary concern is for the safety of the island community and our Wool Week visitors\, who join us from all over the world. It is our view that cancelling the event is the responsible thing to do. \nHaving reviewed the situation in detail we do not feel we can deliver a socially distanced physical event that will capture the spirit of SWW. So many of you join us to make friends in large and small groups\, be spontaneous\, take hands-on\, practical classes\, and drop in to the numerous events that are laid on by the Shetland public throughout the isles. \nWe want to deliver a Wool Week that you have come to know and love and we will prepare for something really special for 2022. \nFor this year though\, we will replace the event with an online version during what would have been SWW: 25 September – 3 October 2021 and build on the success and enthusiasm for last year’s virtual programme.  A SWW Annual publication for 2021 is also planned. \nAs always\, we thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing our virtual plans with you. In the meantime you can look back at some of our virtual highlights from last year on our YouTube channel and on SWW IGTV. \nThe Campaign for Wool’s annual Wool Week is designed to educate\, inspire and promote the benefits of wool. This will run from the 25th September 3rd October.

SUMMARY:No Disposable Cup Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:We are campaigning to stop the use of disposable cups. \nThe first step is International No Disposable Cup day on 4 October when we are asking everyone in the UK and the rest of the World to not take a disposable cup for that one day. \nOur website is https://nodisposablecup.com/ \nWe use globally 16 billion disposable coffee cups each year. These are mainly coated with plastic to laminate the inside and use plastic lids. In the UK alone we use 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups each year or 7 million per day (half a million are dropped on the floor and less than 1% are recycled). \nOn 4 October we are asking everyone not to use a disposable cup. Everyone is encouraged to get their own reusable cup or sit in their coffee shop and use the china mugs provided there.

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world.  Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside. Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas. Most of them are open for recreational use. \nThe Nations largest volunteer event\, the event was first held in 1994 when 700 volunteers worked at three sites. The initiative turned out a huge success and became an annual tradition. \nBy 2014\, participation grew to about 175\,000 volunteers at more than 2\,000 sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment. Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\, public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations. NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nFree for all to attend and volunteers welcomed\, what a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors\, breathe in the fresh air\, enjoy the scenery and even volunteer!

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen. The first official Outdoor Sportsmen Day was celebrated in 1970 with the day becoming nationally recognized two years later. \nContrary to popular belief\, anglers and hunters are avid supporters of wildlife conservation. They stand for sustainable use of game and fish. American outdoor sportsmen have made a great contribution to protecting and improving vital habitat and saving many species from unregulated exploitation. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on raising public awareness about the importance of the wise use of natural resources\, promoting wildlife conversation and outdoor sports. On this day\, local\, state\, regional and national organizations hold fishing- and hunting-related events providing participants with an opportunity to experience traditional outdoor sports. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day\, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September\, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation. \nWith events taking place across the country\, why not visit the dedicated website to find out whats going on in your area. This is not only a great opportunity to learn a new sport\, but also to become more involved with conservation and environmental issues.

SUMMARY:FSC Friday 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is FSC Friday? \nOn September 24th 2021\, the Forest Stewardship Council will be hosting FSC Friday‚an annual event designed to raise awareness about responsible forest management- the best way to keep using forest products and keep our forests too. FSC Friday started in 2008 and has grown every year\, spreading to be a global event. \nWhy FSC Friday? \nWe’re aiming to increase awareness of FSC so that more people choose FSC certified products more of the time. These choices can be personal\, like choosing garden furniture\, greeting cards or even toilet paper. Choosing FSC can also be great for the workplace; does your office have a policy to only buy FSC certified wood and paper? If not\, why? Make the right choice. Choose FSC!

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2021
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.\nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2020\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster.

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organised events are held in some cities and countries. \nSeptember 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain). \nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. \nThe first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. \nAlso in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2021
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. \nThe event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Recycle Week is Recycle Now’s flagship annual event which is a celebration of recycling across the nation. Now in its 18th year\, it’s the one week of the year where retailers\, brands\, waste management companies\, trade associations\, governments and the media come together to achieve one goal: to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things\, more often. \nThis year’s theme: Step It Up this Recycle Week\nThe Climate Crisis is a tough subject. But we’re a nation of even tougher subjects. The last 15 months have shown that. And while throughout the past year many things have happened over which we’ve had no control\, the Climate Crisis is something we can actively do something about. Every one of us\, every single day. Most of us already do\, through small but powerful habits – like recycling. We know environmental concerns are still on the increase\, so we need to do more. We need to do it now. And we need to act together. It’s time to join the fight against climate change. Step It Up this Recycle Week. \nWith our proven track record of tapping into national conversations and sentiments\, this year’s Recycle Week is set to be a truly impactful national event.

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). \n\nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 17th – Sunday 26th September 2021. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n\n\n\n\n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n\n\n\n\n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \n\n\n\n\nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2021 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:EUROPEAN  MOBILITY WEEK 2021
DESCRIPTION:Europeans love variety in food\, in fashion\, in music so why is it that when it comes to transport so many of us stick to one mode? This year’s European Mobility Week encourages us to explore the many different options available for getting from A to B\, and to think about the mode that best suits our particular journey. \nPrevious year’s European Mobility Weeks have focused on multimodality‚- the mixing of transport modes within the same journey or for different trips. Many of us instinctively opt for the same method of transport when moving around without necessarily examining the needs of the specific journey. The car may be the best way to take your family to the seaside\, for example\, but is it the best way to get them to the city centre where space and access is often limited? \nThis year\, why not test out different transport modes: cycle to the gym to get a head start on burning calories\, bring your bike on the train to beat the rush hour traffic\, or take the bus and then stroll to the shops to avoid parking fees!\nAs well as providing health benefits\, significant savings can be achieved through a multimodal approach\, particularly when short journeys are completed through walking and cycling. \nEmbracing the concept of multimodality means rethinking the way we move about our cities\, and having the willingness to try out new forms of mobility. \nFrom a city’s perspective\, it requires the political will to support alternative transport methods.\nBy introducing some sustainable transport modes into our journeys\, not only can we have a positive impact on the environment\, we may just find that we’re fitter and happier\, with some extra spending money too!

SUMMARY:International Day of Democracy 2021
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Democracy is held on September 15th\, and is held on the same date every year\, and tends to have a theme\, an example of a previous year’s theme was ‘Democracy and Conflict Prevention’. \nInternational Day of Democracy is an annual day that has been running for 10 years. It is a United Nations\, (UN)\, day of observation\, the purpose of the day is to review the state of democracy in the world and uphold and and promote democracy and its principles. The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \nOn the day\, individuals and organisations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \nDemocracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN.

SUMMARY:Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day is an annual United States observance that falls on the first Saturday after Labor Day. In 2021 the day falls on September 11th.  The day is designed to encourage participation of American citizens in the cleanup of federal lands. \nThe observance was established in 1985 as the Federal Lands National Cleanup Day. Founder Carl Garner\, an engineer\, organized the clean up of the areas around his place of work\, Greers Ferry Lake\, by local citizens. His program became nationally acclaimed and even received the Keep America Beautiful Award twice. On Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day various activities\, ceremonies\, and programs take place in order to continue public and private sector cooperation in preserving the beauty and safety of these areas; increase people’s sense of ownership and community pride in these areas; reduce litter along federal lands; and maintain and improve trails\, recreation areas\, waterways\, and facilities. \nThis observance aims to raise citizens’ awareness of the problem of litter and encourage them to preserve the environment during the entire year.  This observance is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational institutions\, and businesses remain open on this day. However\, schools often organize various activities dedicated to environmental protection. \nWhat a fantastic way to be a part of your community and have something to feel proud of!

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2021
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2021
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \n\nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying:\nContain no artificial additives or preservatives.\nContain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming.\nConform to high standards of animal welfare.\nContain no genetically modified ingredients.\nHave been produced in a way that is sustainable.\n\nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:On the 19th August each year we celebrate World Humanitarian Day. The purpose of World Humanitarian Day is to raise awareness of the plight of civilians around the world who have become caught up in conflicts\, and also honour and raise support for the humanitarian workers who risk\, and sometimes lose\, their lives to help. \nOver 130 million people throughout the world are currently in crisis\, either through war or natural disasters and are in need of humanitarian aid. \nWorld Humanitarian Day was established in 2008 by the United Nations General Assembly and was first officially celebrated in 2009. The date of 19th August was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the bombing of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad\, an event in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, Sergio Vieira de Mellothe and twenty others lost their lives. \nEach year a different theme is chosen for World Humanitarian Day and organisations worldwide get involved to honour this day in a range of ways\, from fundraisers to lectures and other events all aimed at raising awareness.

SUMMARY:International Youth Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Just when you thought that Universal Children’s Day would be enough for the UN\, think again: it also runs International Youth Day\, which focuses on tweens and teens and their place in society. It’s not just to protect them\, but to include them in the development of communities around the world\, whether they’re rich or poor. \nAmong the focal areas for youth development and protection with this UN initiative include education\, employment\, the environment\, delinquency\, girls and young women\, HIV/AIDS and intergenerational relations. These were officially decided upon in 1995\, the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Youth. \nInternational Youth Day is held each year on the 12th of August and is an initiative that celebrates the qualities of young people and that recognises the challenges that today’s youth can face. \nInternational Youth Day began in 2000 and was organised by the United Nations to celebrate the contribution that young people make in education\, employment\, conflict resolution and social justice to name a few. \nFor information on the theme of International Youth Day 2021 keep an eye on the United Nations website for updates.

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum\nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country\nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes\nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people\nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field\nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues \nJuly 11th every year is World Population Day. This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \nThe Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. \nIn 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \nMillions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:Byte Night - Boycott Your Bed 2021
DESCRIPTION:Byte Night is now the UK’s largest corporate sleepout event\, with individuals and teams sleeping out to raise vital funds to prevent youth homelessness. \nIt all began in 1998 when 30 individuals slept out in London and raised £35\,000. Since then Byte Night has now grown to 12 events and over 1500 people slept out in 2017. Byte Night is one of the UK’s top 20 mass participation charity events and is the largest corporate sleepout having raised over ¬£10 million since the first event. This year Byte Night became “Boycott Your Bed” and asked you to Ditch the duvet\, Banish the blanket and Pack the pillow. \nOn Friday 9 July\, we asked you to join forces with family\, friends or colleagues to raise money and spend the night in the most unusual place you can think of. Over 1\,300 people up and down the country joined in the fun\, helping raise vital funds for vulnerable children throughout the UK. \nYour support allows Action for Children to continue to help thousands of young people to build better lives by providing essential support\, accommodation\, education and training. \nAction for Children does what’s right\, what’s needed and what works for children in the UK by supporting more than 370\,000 children\, young people and families each year. In particular\, Byte Night works to support some of the 83\,000 young people who are homeless in the UK every year through no fault of their own. Family breakdown\, mental health issues and abuse in the home are just a few of the causes which lead to many young people becoming homeless. Action for Children has supported many young people to a safe and happy future. Unfortunately\, so many more still need our help.

SUMMARY:National Hygiene Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:                       \nThere are over 14 million people living in poverty in the UK; 4.6 million of whom are children and 65% of which are working families. Even before the economic impact of the pandemic people were faced with stressful weekly decisions between purchasing food\, paying rent or buying essential hygiene products. It’s proven hygiene poverty can prevent people from fully participating in society and can negatively affect good health and mental well-being\, potentially impacting early childhood development\, learning\, employability and social interaction. \nNational Hygiene Week is organised by the national charity The Hygiene Bank to provide a platform for raising awareness and creating new conversations about the hygiene poverty crisis in the UK.   \nThe Hygiene Bank is a national\, grassroots\, volunteer-powered charity with a vision that one day everyone living in the UK will have access to essential hygiene products. Their network of projects exist to provide the basics to people living in poverty who are unable to afford to stay clean. They believe feeling clean should not be a luxury or a privilege in the modern world and so they work to inspire social change. \nLast year\, several organisations in the third and private sector participated in National Hygiene Week (14th-20th September 2020) delivering events and actions such as thought leadership discussions\, educational resources for schools\, social media campaign\, media coverage\, MP engagement and more. Participating organisations included Boots UK\, FareShare\, icanyoucantoo\, In Kind Direct\, Joseph Rowntree Foundation\, Little Village\, Mayor’s Fund for London\, Trussell Trust\, Star Academies\, Women’s Aid\, and more. \nThe success of the first National Hygiene Week demonstrated the need to continue to create new conversations about a wider safety net for those experiencing poverty. From the 5th-11th  July 2021 The Hygiene Bank will host the 2nd annual National Hygiene Week where they will have online and in person activities throughout the week to bring individuals\, communities\, businesses and thought leaders together to tackle hygiene poverty.  \nTo learn more about National Hygiene Week please visit: https://thehygienebank.com/national-hygiene-week/. \nIf you would like to get involved in National Hygiene Week\, please email NHW@thehygienebank.com.

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out)\n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim)\n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru)\n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely)\n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood)\n6. Feed your mind. (read a book)\n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n

SUMMARY:National Catfish Day in the USA 2021
DESCRIPTION:No\, this has absolutely nothing to do with MTV\, the internet or dating. This unsurprisingly has everything to do with catfish! Perhaps one of the lesser known days of recognition and celebration\, National Catfish Day has assisted the continued growth of this specific type of aqua farming across the USA. \nJune 25 is National Catfish Day in the USA. The holiday was designated by President Ronald Reagan on June 25 in 1987. National Catfish Day celebrates the value of farm-raised fish. \nOriginally the commemorative bill was proposed by Congressmen Mike Epsy\, who having recognised the industry as growing in his home state\, endeavoured to encourage the growth of the industry further afield. Catfish were not a popular choice of delicacy at the time. Although initially the bill was unsuccessful\, Mr Epsy garnered support from fellow congressmen and was also able\, by providing the best catfish luncheons to military leaders\, to ensure catfish was added to the military commissary menu. As a result his popularity at election time grew in his home state\, thanks to the increase in demand for catfish\, as did support for the bill. The text of the Proclamation by President Ronald Reagan\, illustrates the boom in the industry\, the increase in sales and the innovative methods developed to ensure the highest standards were met. \nSo why not look up some Catfish recipes and find out just why they make one of the USA’s most popular fish to eat? \n  \n

SUMMARY:Day of the Seafarer 2021
DESCRIPTION:June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer\, an annual and international event day coordinated by the International Maritime Organisation. \nLast year’s Day of the Seafarer celebrated seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone.

The revised International Convention on Standards of Training\, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW)\, the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers\, for their safety\, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this. The convention’s aim was to recognise the contribution by seafarers to society and economy globally. \nThe resolution encourages governments\, shipping firms\, companies associated with sea trade and others\, to promote and uphold sea trade and seafarers through the Day of the Seafarer. \nThe day encourages international public and official conversation about seafarers and seafaring\, and the well-being of those involved in it\, and interactive media relating to the Day of the Seafarer has proved extremely popular around the world\, for example quizzes and interactive maps\, videos and photo galleries\, and social media hashtags and discussions. The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online. \nLeading up to the 25 June\, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is  held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Gastronomy Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Gastronomy Day emphasizes the need to focus the world’s attention on the role that sustainable gastronomy can play. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nThe UN General Assembly adopted on 21 December 2016 its resolution A/RES/71/246 and designated 18 June as an international observance\, Sustainable Gastronomy Day. \nThe decision acknowledges gastronomy as a cultural expression related to the natural and cultural diversity of the world. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nSustainable gastronomy can play a role due to its interlinkages with the three dimensions of sustainable development\, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting: \nagricultural development;\nfood security;\nnutrition;\nsustainable food production; and\nconservation of biodiversity. \nA pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development: geographical indications (GIs)\nThe promotion of linkages between local producers\, their local areas and their food products through geographical indications (GIs) is recognised as a pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development for rural communities throughout the world. The quality and specific attributes of food linked to origin\, its diversity and local access are all matters that affect sustainable food systems and healthy diets. (Source: FAO)

SUMMARY:Plastic Free beauty Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Plastic Free Beauty Day\, which We Are Paradoxx will be launching on the 17th of June – a campaign for consumers and the industry alike. The UN has predicted that if the rate of waste production continues\, by 2050 our oceans will carry more plastic than fish and an estimated 99 per cent of seabirds will have ingested plastic. The UN also declared our current situation a planetary crisis. The Beauty industry and its contribution to this MUST make a change. We are calling all brands\, consumers and retailers to JOIN US and reconsider their use of plastic\, whether it be virgin\, recycled or reclaimed from the sea because the problem is that it ends up back in the sea or landfill which makes the type of plastic irrelevant. There is no such thing as good plastic. \nWe Are Paradoxx will take to the street’s of London on Monday 17th of June. Educating consumers on the issues around the misconceptions around recycled plastics\, that this is only delaying the problem for future generations. Collecting beauty waste and packaging throughout the day\, to promote and showcase how brands\, retailers and consumers alike can make small changes to make a big difference. To make informed choices\, choosing more sustainable materials\, such as aluminium that can be recycled on an infinite loop.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2021
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June. In the UK\, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts\, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK\, and encourages a better understanding between communities. \nRefugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2021
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately Brake’s Kids Walk 2020 has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. \nIn light of the recent school closures\, and to ensure that everyone taking part is kept safe\, we have taken the decision to not run this year’s event. \nTo register your interest for 2021 click here. \nOn Wednesday 10 June 2020\, children aged 4-11 will put their best feet forward to take part in a Brake’s Kids Walk and promote road safety and the health and planet-saving benefits of walking. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a short\, supervised walk\, involving thousands of children walking at the same time to promote important road safety messages. Children walk in pairs in crocodile formation\, while holding hands\, to emphasise the importance of being able to walk without fear or threat from traffic. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. It’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is supported by Aardman and Shaun the Sheep. Shaun is helping children call on their grown ups to make their streets safer and healthier for everyone.

SUMMARY:World Environment Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Environment Day is held on June 5th every year. It isn’t a public holiday\, it is an environmental awareness day\, run by the United Nations. It is sometimes also unofficially called Eco Day or Environment Day. The aim of the Day is to raise awareness of the environment and specific environmental issues. \nWorld Environment Day (WED) was established in 1972 but first held in 1974\, which shows that concern about the environment goes back several decades at least. 143 countries take part in World Environment Day\, and the day focuses on environmental concerns ranging from pollution to global warming and sustainable food production to protection of wildlife. \nEvery year there is a new main focus for WED. This year the focus is ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’\, and the press and media are already gearing up for this by reporting on events and efforts to reduce plastic pollution. \nParticipants of WED include NGOs\, governments\, communities\, individuals\, charities\, organizations and celebrities\, and together they raise awareness of environmental issues. Each year a country or Nation hosts WED\, and this year India is the host\, last year Canada hosted it\, and the theme was ‘Connecting People and Nature’.\nWorld Environment Day has had its own anthem since 2013. \nWorld Environment Day can be celebrated in many ways\, activities such as clear up campaigns are popular and will be prominent this year\, also concerts\, conventions and parades\, tree planting\, and lectures. Promotional materials for the day tend to be created using natural environmental colours.

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration\nEvery year\, during the month of June\, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe\, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place\, way back in 1969. \nAs well as being a month long celebration\, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community. Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month\, and there are many street parties\, community events\, poetry readings\, public speaking\, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants. \nThe New York Pride Parade is one of the largest and most well known parades to take place\, with an estimated 500\,000 people participating in it by the time it had reached its 25th anniversary. \nPride Month is so important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+ community\, as well as the wider societal implications. Although attitudes and injustice still remain\, we have come a long way since the riots of 1969 and by continuing in this long standing tradition we continue to raise awareness\, improve the attitudes of society and encourage inclusiveness. #Pride2020 \nWhat were the Stonewall Riots?\nThe riots were prompted by a raid that took place during the early morning\, at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village\, Manhattan. The LGBT community held a series of spontaneous\, often violent demonstrations to protest against the raid and calling for the establishment of places that gays and lesbians could go and be open about their sexual orientation. In such places there should be no fears of being arrested. The riots served as a catalyst for the rights of LGBT people\, and within 6 months\, 2 gay activist groups had formed in New York. Over the years since the event\, many gay rights organisations have been formed. Not just in the US but around the world. \nWhat is LGBT or Gay Pride?\nIt is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. For lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity\, equal rights\, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. \nWho Started the June Celebration?\nKnown as the “Mother of Pride”\, it was Brenda Howard who coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events then developed into the annual LGBT celebrations held every June.

SUMMARY:National Children's Gardening Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Children’s Gardening Week celebrates the fun that gardens hold for kids. Children\, parents\, grandparents\, schools or garden businesses can find ideas for fun garden projects and activities on this site. \nChildren love growing plants\, love being in the garden but they’re often impatient\, wanting to see instant results. National Children’s Gardening Week aims to capture children’s enthusiasm at a time when results are immediate. National Children’s Gardening Week takes place annually in the ‘warm’ week at the end of May. \nThis means that pretty much throughout the UK they can plant all the popular plants with little fear of weather damage or the need for complicated protective growing. \nNational Children’s Gardening Week was the brainwave of Neil Grant\, Managing director of Ferndale Garden Centre near Sheffield who is also BBC Radio Sheffield’s garden expert and co-presenter of their weekly garden phone in\, and it’s widely supported by the whole of the UK garden industry. \nIt’s now an annual festival of fun that’s embraced in homes\, schools\, and community groups across the country\, and supports the amazing Greenfingers charity\, which is dedicated to providing magical gardens for children in hospices suffering from life limiting illnesses. \nTo get involved\, just have a look at the ‘Things to do’ section of the site. \nThe aim of NCGW is to get as many schools\, children and their families involved\, gardening and having fun in their gardens. 2018 was the first year that the HTA took the project on and it turned out to be very successful. The campaign put gardening project ideas in front of half a million of consumers through the website\, social media and in- store.

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2021
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. \nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in C√¥te d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore.

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat\,  Support World Hunger Day 2021 \nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. 2018\, will see people\, organisations\, companies and communities marking this awareness day on May 28. \nWhat is The Hunger Project? \nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people. \nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support \nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support. \nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar? \nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2021
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture\nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals\nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks\nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Waterwise hosted its Water Saving Week for the sixth year running in 2020. We were looking to shake things up a little bit with a different format and date. As before\, there was an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about why we need to save water\, including daily challenges\, ideas and tips to help you do it. Search #watersavingweek on social media\, explore the Waterwise website to check out the daily themes and get involved!\nEach day of Water Saving Week focused on a specific area of water use or benefit of water efficiency. Water Saving Week Packs were available for each day and included challenges\, ideas and tips to help you save water in relation to that day’s theme. \nWhy save water? \nThe UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sunbeds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sunbed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sunbed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 3rd-9th May 2021. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed.\nWhat damage can the sun cause?\nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun.\nWho is affected?\nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Malaria Day 2020 is on April 25th\, this annual event is a worldwide effort\, to raise awareness of Malaria and funds for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention. The day also marks the continuing great achievements in the fight against Malaria. \nLast year’s theme for World Malaria Day was ‘End Malaria for Good’ and the day is hosted by the World Health Organization. \nThe World Health Organization is putting prevention of malaria to the forefront in this event\, with the aim of reducing the massive global death toll of 400\,000 people to Malaria every year. Efforts to highlight prevention has been reducing the death toll\, especially through the use of insecticide and mosquito nets\, as mosquitos are the most common carriers and spreaders of Malaria. The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths.

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day in the USA 2021
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting. \nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate. \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872. \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \nIt has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \nThat’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2021 International Dark Sky Week is Monday\, April 05 Monday\, April 12! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:No Skip Sunday 2021
DESCRIPTION:No Skip Sunday is a day focused on saving the planet’s resources. \nThe aim of the day is to remind us of the wastefulness which can accompany home improvements and\, particularly\, kitchen refurbs. Its message is to ask us to remember that\, just because we personally might no longer want our existing kitchen\, it doesn’t mean that another household wouldn’t want to adopt it\, doing what thousands of others have already done through http://www.theusedkitchencompany.com . \nDoing this could put some money in the piggybank too\, so it is well worth embracing the message of No Skip Sunday and giving recycling your stamp of approval\, today and every day.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2021
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize\nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \n\n\nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests\nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2021
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin. \nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:Fairtrade Fortnight 2021
DESCRIPTION:22 February to 7 March 2021 \nInformation about Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will be coming soon. Sign up to emails to stay up to date. \nWHAT IS FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT\nFor two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March\, thousands of individuals\, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes\, people who are often exploited and underpaid. \nIn 2019\, we launched our campaign calling on U.K. Government and companies to ensure cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030\, in line with the UN’s Global Goals to end poverty. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 we continued our campaign to raise awareness of the struggles of cocoa farming and to demand living incomes for cocoa farmers. \nA living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life\, paying for essentials such as clothing\, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right. \nRead more about our Fight for Living Incomes campaign \nOnly Fairtrade is campaigning publicly for the right to a living income for farmers – men and women.

SUMMARY:World Day of the Sick 2021
DESCRIPTION:February 11 is World Day of the Sick\, an observation started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes.\nPeople around the world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day. Faith organisations mark this day especially to provide the sick with medicines\, food\, and spiritual guidance.\nPope John Paul II initiated the day in 1992 to encourage people to pray for those who suffer from illness and for their caregivers. The Pope himself had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s a year before\, in 1991\, and it is considered that his own illness was impetus for his designation of the day. \nPope Benedict XVI also declared his decision to resign from his post as the Pope on this day in 2013. He cited his failing health as the reason behind his decision.

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” ‚ UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon \nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15. The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014 far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \nThroughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move. It paves the way for the adoption of two new global compacts in 2018: the global compact on refugees and the global compact for safe\, orderly and regular migration.

SUMMARY:International Mountain Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Natural jewels we should treasure \nMountains are home to 15% of the world´s population and host about half of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. They provide freshwater for everyday life to half of humanity. Their conservation is a key factor for sustainable development and is part of Goal 15 of the SDGs. \nUnfortunately\, mountains are under threat from climate change and overexploitation. As the global climate continues to warm\, mountain people — some of the world’s poorest — face even greater struggles to survive. The rising temperatures also mean that mountain glaciers are melting at unprecedented rates\, affecting freshwater supplies downstream for millions of people. \nThis problem affects us all. We must reduce our carbon footprint and take care of these natural treasures. \nThe increasing attention to the importance of mountains led the UN to declare to 2002 the UN International Year of Mountains. The first international day was celebrated for the first time the following year\, 2003. \nIts roots date back to 1992\, when the document “Managing Fragile Ecosystems: Sustainable Mountain Development” (called Chapter 13)\, was adopted as part of the action plan Agenda 21 of the Conference on Environment and Development. \n2020 Theme: Mountain biodiversity \nMountain biodiversity is the theme of this year’s International Mountain Day\, so let’s celebrate their rich biodiversity\, as well as address the threats they face. \nMountains loom large in some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes. Their unique topography\, compressed climatic zones and isolation have created the conditions for a wide spectrum of life forms. \nBiodiversity encompasses the variety of ecosystems\, species and genetic resources\, and mountains have many endemic varieties. The differentiated topography in terms of altitude\, slope and exposure in mountains offers opportunities to grow a variety of high-value crops\, horticulture\, livestock and forest species. \nFor example\, mountain pastoralists in Pakistan have a highly treasured livestock genetic resource pool with special traits bred into animals\, such as disease resilience\, which can help adaption to changing climate. Nearly 70% of mountain land is used for grazing and provides manure that enhances soil fertility. Livestock not only produces food items such as milk\, butter and meat\, but also valuable by-products\, such as some of the most precious yarns\, like cashmere wool. \nHowever\, climate change\, unsustainable farming practices\, commercial mining\, logging\, and poaching all exact a heavy toll on mountain biodiversity. In addition\, land use and land cover change\, and natural disasters\, accelerate biodiversity loss and contribute to creating a fragile environment for mountain communities. Ecosystem degradation\, loss of livelihoods and migration in mountains can lead to the abandonment of cultural practices and ancient traditions that have sustained biodiversity for generations. \nThe sustainable management of mountain biodiversity has been increasingly recognized as a global priority. Sustainable Development Goal 15\, target four\, is dedicated to the conservation of mountains’ biodiversity in consideration of its global relevance. Biodiversity in all ecosystems is in focus\, as the United Nations has declared 2021 to 2030 the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and governments prepare to negotiate the post-2020 global biodiversity framework for adoption this year at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). \nCelebrate this International Day 2020 with your community and friends preparing an event or joining the conversation on social media using the hashtag #MountainsMatter. Pass on some of the key messages\, or share about the biodiversity in the mountains near you\, or a photo of your favorite mountain.

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day is on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment.

SUMMARY:International Volunteers Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Volunteer Day (IVD) on 5 December was designated by the United Nations in 1985 as an international observance day to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism. \nIt is an opportunity for volunteers\, and volunteer organisations\, to raise awareness of\, and gain understanding for\, the contribution they make to their communities. It is also viewed as a unique chance for volunteers and organisations to celebrate their efforts\, to share their values\, and to promote their work among their communities\, non-governmental organisations (NG0’s)\, United Nations agencies\, government authorities and the private sector. \nThe act of volunteering is found in all cultures\, languages\, and religions. Each year\, hundreds of millions of people volunteer their time and skills to help make the world a better place. When they volunteer\, they help to improve the lives of others. And when they volunteer\, they also gain a greater sense of belonging to their communities. \nOn 5 December\, people around the world will celebrate IVD with rallies\, parades\, volunteer fairs\, group clean ups\, blood donations\, conferences\, exhibitions\, fundraising\, workshops and volunteer recognition events.

SUMMARY:Wildlife Conservation Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The world’s best loved species are being slaughtered by widespread and dangerous criminal networks. Driven by a voracious demand for illegal animal parts and products\, the black market in wildlife rivals illegal arms and drugs. Increasingly\, wildlife traffickers are the same kingpins involved in trafficking people and arms and narcotics. \nWWF joined the call to action put out by Secretary of State Secretary Clinton to raise awareness and engage conservationists like you on Wildlife Conservation Day\, December 4. \nWildlife crime is a serious crime\, not a distant problem in a faraway country \nIt is a global challenge that spans continents and crosses oceans. It matters\, and not just because we care about elephants\, rhinos and tigers. Park rangers on the frontlines of conservation are being killed. Local communities that depend on wildlife for tourism or sustenance are being robbed of their livelihoods. Corruption and intimidation are weakening law enforcement efforts. Unscreened wildlife and wildlife parts increase the risk of human health pandemics such as bird flu. And regional security is compromised as militarized groups cash in on this lucrative and rapidly growing trade\, using it to finance insurrection and even terrorist activity.

SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Geography Week was established by National Geographic as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in every day life affect the world we live in.  Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments – so it really does affect us all.  You don’t have to be an activist\, eco-warrior or as high profile as Greta Thunberg to become involved! \nAs Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues\, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings. \nWith little education historically taking place about these matters\, National Geographic identified huge gaps in Americans knowledge and therefore began this campaign to raise awareness\, educate and most importantly inspire people to become better informed and active. \nEstablished by presidential proclamation more than 25 years ago\, this annual public awareness program encourages citizens young and old to think and learn about the significance of place and how we affect and are affected by it.  Every year more than 100\,000 people participate in National Geography week and contribute to its events\, games\, classroom challenges.  It is also a perfect time to engage with business leaders and policy makers in an attempt to positively influence decisions. \nCurrently a topic with huge media and political focus\, this is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and share it with others within your community.  Who knows…if we all took part\, imagine the positive changes we could make on our world.

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. This World Habitat Day will focus on promoting all levels of government and all relevant stakeholders to reflect on how to implement concrete initiatives to ensure adequate and affordable housing in the context of the implementation of the New Urban Agenda at all levels\, as well as the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:NO DISPOSABLE CUP DAY 2020
DESCRIPTION:We are campaigning to stop the use of disposable cups. \nThe first step is International No Disposable Cup day on 4 October when we are asking everyone in the UK and the rest of the World to not take a disposable cup for that one day. \nOur website is https://nodisposablecup.com/ \nWe use globally 16 billion disposable coffee cups each year. These are mainly coated with plastic to laminate the inside and use plastic lids. In the UK alone we use 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups each year or 7 million per day (half a million are dropped on the floor and less than 1% are recycled). \nOn 4 October we are asking everyone not to use a disposable cup. Everyone is encouraged to get their own reusable cup or sit in their coffee shop and use the china mugs provided there.

SUMMARY:Byte Night 2020
DESCRIPTION:***********Byte Night 2020 has been cancelled due to COVID19********Byte Night is now the UK’s largest corporate sleepout event\, with individuals and teams sleeping out to raise vital funds to prevent youth homelessness. \nIt all began in 1998 when 30 individuals slept out in London and raised  £35\,000. Since then Byte Night has now grown to 12 events and over 1500 people slept out in 2017. Byte Night is one of the UK’s top 20 mass participation charity events and is the largest corporate sleepout having raised over ¬£10 million since the first event.

SUMMARY:Unblocktober 2020
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to help reduce the amount of plastic entering our seas and rivers? \nDo you want to help fight environmentally-damaging fatbergs? \n\n\nWell\, it’s easier than you think. Through Unblocktober\, you can make small changes to your habits and the way you dispose of certain everyday items in order to make big changes to the environment – at a time when it needs our help more than ever. \nIt’s easy – so come and join us in making October… Unblocktober! \nWhat is Unblocktober? \nUnblocktober is the world’s first month-long campaign and awareness month to improve the health of our drains\, sewers\, watercourses and seas – driven completely by the public. \nWhy Unblocktober? \nOur sewer networks are under ever-increasing pressure – because of our irresponsible actions over the course of many decades. For too long we have consistently flushed and poured dangerous liquids and items into our drains. \nThis leads to the creation of fatbergs – enormous masses of congealed fat\, oil\, grease\, wet wipes\, period care products\, cotton buds\, condoms\, nappies\, bandages and much more – which block drains and sewers and cause them to work less effectively than they should. \nWhen sewers and drains get blocked\, it can cause any or all of the following: \n\nFoul waste flooding\nPollution\nExcavation and repair\, causing roadworks\n\nHowever\, it can also lead to plastic pollution\, which is another global crisis that we need to fight. \nNappies\, period care products\, cotton buds and many other items are non-biodegradable because they contain hidden plastics. \nPutting them in our drains increases the chances of plastic making its way into our rivers and seas – into which approximately 8 million pieces of plastic find their way every day. \nThe good news is you can make a big difference\, but without having to make a big effort. \nHow to Get Involved \nAll we want is for you to pay more attention to what you put down the drain this October and commit to putting none of the following down your drains or toilets for the whole month: \n\nCooking oil\nFood – even crumbs!\nAnything containing plastic\, including:\nWet wipes\nTampons\, applicators and wrappers\nSanitary/menstrual pads and towels\nNappies\nCondoms\nCotton buds\nContact lenses\nBandages and plasters\nRazor blades\nDental floss\n\nTake the Unblocktober Challenge By Signing Up Today \nAre you ready to do your bit for the environment this year? If so\, sign up for Unblocktober today at http://www.unblocktober.org.

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen. The first official Outdoor Sportsmen Day was celebrated in 1970 with the day becoming nationally recognized two years later. \nContrary to popular belief\, anglers and hunters are avid supporters of wildlife conservation. They stand for sustainable use of game and fish. American outdoor sportsmen have made a great contribution to protecting and improving vital habitat and saving many species from unregulated exploitation. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on raising public awareness about the importance of the wise use of natural resources\, promoting wildlife conversation and outdoor sports. On this day\, local\, state\, regional and national organizations hold fishing- and hunting-related events providing participants with an opportunity to experience traditional outdoor sports. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day\, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September\, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation. \nWith events taking place across the country\, why not visit the dedicated website to find out whats going on in your area. This is not only a great opportunity to learn a new sport\, but also to become more involved with conservation and environmental issues.

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside. Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas. Most of them are open for recreational use. \nThe Nations largest volunteer event\, the event was first held in 1994 when 700 volunteers worked at three sites. The initiative turned out a huge success and became an annual tradition. \nBy 2014\, participation grew to about 175\,000 volunteers at more than 2\,000 sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment. Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\, public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations. NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nFree for all to attend and volunteers welcomed\, what a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors\, breathe in the fresh air\, enjoy the scenery and even volunteer!

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2020
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts this year on the 22nd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 22nd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.\nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2020\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster.

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries. September 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain).\nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. The first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. Also in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. The event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Date: 20-27 September 2020 \nlast years theme was: Recycling. We do. Because it matters and it was all about motivating people to care about plastics in a way they never have before.\nSustainability is firmly on the national agenda and the public is looking to organisations to help solve major environmental issues. That makes Recycle Week a greater opportunity than ever to change people’s recycling behaviours while gaining positive publicity and building your organisation’s reputation.\nNow in its 18th year\, Recycle Week is a celebration of recycling\, organised by WRAP under the Recycle Now brand. The aim of the week is to encourage the public to recycle more\, by demonstrating the benefits of recycling items from all around the home.\nThis year’s theme will be: Recycling. We do. Because it matters.’\nThe theme is designed to capture attention and put across simple but important messages about why recycling matters. Partners will have the opportunity to bust myths and demonstrate why recycling is beneficial – keeping it in use\, and out of our environment. Recycle Week 2019 is going to be our biggest yet! Recycle Now would love to have you involved.\nTake a look at our short film and get inspired to support Recycle Week 2019. If you are an organisation and are interested in getting involved\, please email: PartnerEnquiries@wrap.org.uk and we will get in touch with you to discuss how we can work together.\nYou can also download a one-page introduction from the WRAP Resource Library.

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2020
DESCRIPTION:  \nCANCELLATION OF BEACH CLEAN EVENTS PENDING FURTHER NOTICE\nThe Covid-19 (coronavirus) infection has been declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organisation.\nThe health and wellbeing of our volunteers and supporters is our utmost priority and as such we have taken the decision to advise that all  beach clean events should be cancelled pending further notice. \nWe will continue to monitor the situation closely and will contact organisers and volunteers by email as well as update the guidance on our website as the situation develops. \n  \nThe Great British Beach Clean is the biggest beach clean and survey in the UK. \nThe information our volunteers have collected over the last 25 years has helped make some of the most significant impacts on beach litter ever – the plastic bag charge\, microplastics banned in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and massive support for a tax on ‘on the go’ plastic single use items. \nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event?\nFind out how to become an organiser \nMake 2019 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map \nSign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:EUROPEAN  MOBILITY WEEK 2020
DESCRIPTION:Europeans love variety in food\, in fashion\, in music so why is it that when it comes to transport so many of us stick to one mode? This year’s EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK encourages us to explore the many different options available for getting from A to B\, and to think about the mode that best suits our particular journey.\nEUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2019 focused on multimodality‚- the mixing of transport modes within the same journey or for different trips. Many of us instinctively opt for the same method of transport when moving around without necessarily examining the needs of the specific journey. The car may be the best way to take your family to the seaside\, for example\, but is it the best way to get them to the city centre where space and access is often limited?\nThis year\, why not test out different transport modes: cycle to the gym to get a head start on burning calories\, bring your bike on the train to beat the rush hour traffic\, or take the bus and then stroll to the shops to avoid parking fees!\nAs well as providing health benefits\, significant savings can be achieved through a multimodal approach\, particularly when short journeys are completed through walking and cycling.\nEmbracing the concept of multimodality means rethinking the way we move about our cities\, and having the willingness to try out new forms of mobility. From a city’s perspective\, it requires the political will to support alternative transport methods.\nBy introducing some sustainable transport modes into our journeys\, not only can we have a positive impact on the environment\, we may just find that we’re fitter and happier\, with some extra spending money too!

SUMMARY:National Hygiene Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:In the UK today\, one in five people find themselves locked in poverty. Two thirds are working families and one in four are children. \nLow wages and high living costs restrict people’s options\, leaving them in impossible situations like choosing either to heat their home\, pay their rent\, eat or be clean. Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford the basics many of us take for granted. It leads to a crippling lack of confidence and negatively affects good health and mental well-being which can impact early childhood development\, learning\, employ-ability and social interaction. \nThe Hygiene Bank is a grassroots\, people powered charity and social movement\, grounded in community. Their network of banks exist to ensure those living in poverty and can’t afford to be clean\, have access to the basics. They believe that everyone should have a dignified life and their passion stems from a sense of injustice. Feeling clean should not be a luxury or a privilege in the modern world and so they work to inspire social change. \nNational Hygiene Week has been set up by national charity The Hygiene Bank to provide a platform for raising awareness of the issues and empower people to make a difference within their communities. \nActivity will encourage schools to get involved with provision of educational resources and fundraising. Brand partners will run panel events around the importance of giving people in our society the chance of living in dignity. \nThe working committee of National Hygiene Week will also be open to hearing new ideas from local communities as to how they can help raise the awareness of hygiene poverty within their local area. \nIf you would like to get involved in National Hygiene Week\, then please email – nhw@thehygienebank.com

SUMMARY:The Great British Spring Clean 2020
DESCRIPTION:The #gbspringclean has been RESCHEDULED to 11-27 September 2020\nThis year we have been absolutely blown away by the support from everyone – volunteers\, local authorities\, charities and businesses – for the Great British Spring Clean. \nWith more than 650\,000 volunteers promising to give us their time\, the enthusiasm and excitement it has generated has exceeded all our expectations. \nHowever\, our first priority is to make sure everyone stays safe and well so\, with no small measure of sadness\, we have taken the decision to postpone this year’s Great British Spring Clean until September and will be running the Great British September Clean from September 11 – 27. \nWe will be asking that instead of cancelling your clean-ups\, you look to reschedule for the new campaign period. \nPledge to pick now\n\nOver 563\,163 people\, including 175\,055 students\, volunteered their time to take part in our 2019 campaign – the biggest ever! Cleaning up streets\, parks and beaches\, #LitterHeroes across the country have been making big improvements to the environment on their doorstep.\n\n17\,097 clean-ups were held and 957\,377 bags of litter collected – that’s 239\,344 wheelie bins full of rubbish or 4\,308 tonnes worth.\nAround 61% of the litter collected was ‘general waste’ and approximately 39% has been recycled (18% plastic\, 21% aluminium).\nOver 1.1 million hours have been dedicated to the campaign – equivalent in time to 128.5 years(24/7).\n\nThank you for joining us in 2019\, as together we declared that litter pollution\, including single-use plastic – which degrades the beauty of our environment and threatens to harm wildlife – is not acceptable. \nYou can continue to care for your local environment year-round through our #LitterHeroes programme\, join a Keep Britain Tidy volunteer project near you\, or considering becoming a #LitterHeroes Ambassador and help to inspire even more people to join in.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2020
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human   suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity.   This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2020
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \n\nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying:\nContain no artificial additives or preservatives.\nContain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming.\nConform to high standards of animal welfare.\nContain no genetically modified ingredients.\nHave been produced in a way that is sustainable.\n\nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:On the 19th August each year we celebrate World Humanitarian Day. The purpose of World Humanitarian Day is to raise awareness of the plight of civilians around the world who have become caught up in conflicts\, and also honour and raise support for the humanitarian workers who risk\, and sometimes lose\, their lives to help. \nOver 130 million people throughout the world are currently in crisis\, either through war or natural disasters and are in need of humanitarian aid. \nWorld Humanitarian Day was established in 2008 by the United Nations General Assembly and was first officially celebrated in 2009. The date of 19th August was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the bombing of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad\, an event in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, Sergio Vieira de Mellothe and twenty others lost their lives. \nEach year a different theme is chosen for World Humanitarian Day\, for example\, in the past\, the themes have included We Are Humanitarian Workers’\, One Humanity‚and in 2017 Not A Target‚reaffirming that civilians caught up in war zones should not become targets. \nOrganisations worldwide honour this day in a range of ways from fundraisers to lectures and other events all aimed at raising awareness.

SUMMARY:International Youth Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Just when you thought that Universal Children’s Day would be enough for the UN\, think again: it also runs International Youth Day\, which focuses on tweens and teens and their place in society. It’s not just to protect them\, but to include them in the development of communities around the world\, whether they’re rich or poor. \nAmong the focal areas for youth development and protection with this UN initiative include education\, employment\, the environment\, delinquency\, girls and young women\, HIV/AIDS and intergenerational relations. These were officially decided upon in 1995\, the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Youth. \nInternational Youth Day is held each year on the 12th of August and is an initiative that celebrates the qualities of young people and that recognises the challenges that today’s youth can face. \nInternational Youth Day began in 2000 and was organised by the United Nations to celebrate the contribution that young people make in education\, employment\, conflict resolution and social justice to name a few. \nFor information on the theme of International Youth Day 2019 keep an eye on the United Nations website for updates.

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of National Allotment week to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum\nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country\nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes\nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people\nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field\nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues\nOn July 11th every year is an event known as World Population Day. You may not have heard of such a day before but it has been celebrated for almost three decades. The aim of this day is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. “Family Planning is a Human Right”\, will be the focus of the 2018 celebration.\nWhy Family Planning Has Been Chosen\n2018 marked the 50th anniversary of a conference that focused on family planning. In 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \nMillions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for 2018. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out)\n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim)\n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru)\n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely)\n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood)\n6. Feed your mind. (read a book)\n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is  held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Gastronomy Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Gastronomy Day emphasizes the need to focus the world’s attention on the role that sustainable gastronomy can play. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nThe UN General Assembly adopted on 21 December 2016 its resolution A/RES/71/246 and designated 18 June as an international observance\, Sustainable Gastronomy Day. \nThe decision acknowledges gastronomy as a cultural expression related to the natural and cultural diversity of the world. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nSustainable gastronomy can play a role due to its interlinkages with the three dimensions of sustainable development\, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting: \nagricultural development;\nfood security;\nnutrition;\nsustainable food production; and\nconservation of biodiversity. \nA pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development: geographical indications (GIs)\nThe promotion of linkages between local producers\, their local areas and their food products through geographical indications (GIs) is recognised as a pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development for rural communities throughout the world. The quality and specific attributes of food linked to origin\, its diversity and local access are all matters that affect sustainable food systems and healthy diets. (Source: FAO)

SUMMARY:Plastic Free beauty Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Plastic Free Beauty Day\, which We Are Paradoxx will be launching on the 17th of June – a campaign for consumers and the industry alike. The UN has predicted that if the rate of waste production continues\, by 2050 our oceans will carry more plastic than fish and an estimated 99 per cent of seabirds will have ingested plastic. The UN also declared our current situation a planetary crisis. The Beauty industry and its contribution to this MUST make a change. We are calling all brands\, consumers and retailers to JOIN US and reconsider their use of plastic\, whether it be virgin\, recycled or reclaimed from the sea because the problem is that it ends up back in the sea or landfill which makes the type of plastic irrelevant. There is no such thing as good plastic. \nWe Are Paradoxx will take to the street’s of London on Monday 17th of June. Educating consumers on the issues around the misconceptions around recycled plastics\, that this is only delaying the problem for future generations. Collecting beauty waste and packaging throughout the day\, to promote and showcase how brands\, retailers and consumers alike can make small changes to make a big difference. To make informed choices\, choosing more sustainable materials\, such as aluminium that can be recycled on an infinite loop.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2020
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration\nEvery year\, during the month of June\, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe\, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place\, way back in 1969. \nAs well as being a month long celebration\, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community. Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month\, and there are many street parties\, community events\, poetry readings\, public speaking\, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants. \nThe New York Pride Parade is one of the largest and most well known parades to take place\, with an estimated 500\,000 people participating in it by the time it had reached its 25th anniversary. \nPride Month is so important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+ community\, as well as the wider societal implications. Although attitudes and injustice still remain\, we have come a long way since the riots of 1969 and by continuing in this long standing tradition we continue to raise awareness\, improve the attitudes of society and encourage inclusiveness. #Pride2020 \nWhat were the Stonewall Riots?\nThe riots were prompted by a raid that took place during the early morning\, at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village\, Manhattan. The LGBT community held a series of spontaneous\, often violent demonstrations to protest against the raid and calling for the establishment of places that gays and lesbians could go and be open about their sexual orientation. In such places there should be no fears of being arrested. The riots served as a catalyst for the rights of LGBT people\, and within 6 months\, 2 gay activist groups had formed in New York. Over the years since the event\, many gay rights organisations have been formed. Not just in the US but around the world. \nWhat is LGBT or Gay Pride?\nIt is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. For lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity\, equal rights\, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. \nWho Started the June Celebration?\nKnown as the “Mother of Pride”\, it was Brenda Howard who coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events then developed into the annual LGBT celebrations held every June.

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. \nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in C√¥te d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore.

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat Support World Hunger Day 2020\nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. 2018\, will see people\, organisations\, companies and communities marking this awareness day on May 28.\nWhat is The Hunger Project?\nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people.\nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support\nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support.\nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar?\nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night.

SUMMARY:National Children's Gardening Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Children’s Gardening Week (NCGW) is to promote gardening to the general public and to encourage garden centres across the UK to hold events throughout the week of Saturday 23 – Sunday 31 May 2020. The HTA uses the National Garden Gift Voucher (NGGV) scheme to promote and operate the week. This year we had 300 garden centres take part. \nThe aim of NCGW is to get as many schools\, children and their families involved\, gardening and having fun in their gardens. 2018 was the first year that the HTA took the project on and it turned out to be very successful.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2020
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. \nBridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture\nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals\nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks\nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:Walk To School Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:It’s no surprise that the benefits of walking to school are being pushed harder than ever by Living Streets\, the UK charity that sells the benefits of two feet over four wheels. Childhood obesity is now a bigger issue than ever in the UK\, so the chance to get a few more Chelsea tractors off the roads for a five-day spell could make all the difference for the future health of kids around the UK. \nEvery year for a five-day spell\, Living Streets creates a themed challenge for schoolchildren and their significant others to take on while they’re doing the school walk. It’s become incredibly popular\, too; in 2017 alone\, 400\,000 children and their families took part in the challenge. \nWalk to School Week 2020 is 18-22 May.

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:  \nWaterwise hosted its Water Saving Week for the fifth year running in 2019. We were looking to shake things up a little bit with a different format and date. As before\, there was an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about why we need to save water\, including daily challenges\, ideas and tips to help you do it. Search #watersavingweek on social media\, explore the Waterwise website to check out the daily themes and get involved!\nEach day of Water Saving Week focused on a specific area of water use or benefit of water efficiency. Water Saving Week Packs were available for each day and included challenges\, ideas and tips to help you save water in relation to that day’s theme.\n\nWhy save water?\nThe UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money\nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change\nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment\nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies\nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:Sun Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) currently runs a national campaign around skin cancer called Sun Awareness\, which includes national Sun Awareness Week in May. This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sunbeds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sunbed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sunbed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 4th-10th May 2020. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed.\nWhat damage can the sun cause?\nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun.\nWho is affected?\nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Malaria Day 2020 is on April 25th\, this annual event is a worldwide effort\, to raise awareness of Malaria and funds for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention. The day also marks the continuing great achievements in the fight against Malaria. \nLast year’s theme for World Malaria Day was ‘End Malaria for Good’ and the day is hosted by the World Health Organization. \nThe World Health Organization is putting prevention of malaria to the forefront in this event\, with the aim of reducing the massive global death toll of 400\,000 people to Malaria every year. Efforts to highlight prevention has been reducing the death toll\, especially through the use of insecticide and mosquito nets\, as mosquitos are the most common carriers and spreaders of Malaria. The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths.

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting. \nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate. \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872. \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2020 International Dark Sky Week is Sunday\, April 19 Sunday\, April 26! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. This year celebrations begin on Sunday\, March 31\, and run through Saturday\, April 7 (click here for resources to use during the week). \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \nIt has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \nThat’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:World Water Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Water Day takes place each and every year on March 22nd\, and aims to underline the importance of water. While this may sound simple and\, in many people’s eyes\, a bit daft the lack of clean water around the world\, alongside the damaging effects of global warming\, water pollution and damaged water tables\, is more important to understand than ever. \nThe initiative is spearheaded by the UN\, alongside UNESCO\, the World Water Council and the WWF the one with pandas\, not the one with Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. Using the day as a basis for longer-term action\, the UN aims to ensure that everyone in the world has access to safe water by 2030\, while not impacting the environment.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2020
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize\nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \n\n\nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests\nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2020
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin. \nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:World Day of the Sick 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 11 is World Day of the Sick\, an observation started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes.\nPeople around the world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day. Faith organisations mark this day especially to provide the sick with medicines\, food\, and spiritual guidance.\nPope John Paul II initiated the day in 1992 to encourage people to pray for those who suffer from illness and for their caregivers. The Pope himself had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s a year before\, in 1991\, and it is considered that his own illness was impetus for his designation of the day. \nPope Benedict XVI also declared his decision to resign from his post as the Pope on this day in 2013. He cited his failing health as the reason behind his decision.

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” — UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon \nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15.  The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014 – far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \n\n Throughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \n\nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move. It paves the way for the adoption of two new global compacts in 2018: the global compact on refugees and the global compact for safe\, orderly and regular migration.

DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day 2019 is on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment.

SUMMARY:Unblocktober 2019
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to help reduce the amount of plastic entering our seas and rivers? \nDo you want to help fight environmentally-damaging fatbergs? \nWell\, it’s easier than you think. Through Unblocktober\, you can make small changes to your habits and the way you dispose of certain everyday items in order to make big changes to the environment – at a time when it needs our help more than ever. \nIt’s easy – so come and join us in making October… Unblocktober! \nWhat is Unblocktober? \nUnblocktober is the world’s first month-long campaign and awareness month to improve the health of our drains\, sewers\, watercourses and seas – driven completely by the public. \nWhy Unblocktober? \nOur sewer networks are under ever-increasing pressure – because of our irresponsible actions over the course of many decades. For too long we have consistently flushed and poured dangerous liquids and items into our drains. \nThis leads to the creation of fatbergs – enormous masses of congealed fat\, oil\, grease\, wet wipes\, period care products\, cotton buds\, condoms\, nappies\, bandages and much more – which block drains and sewers and cause them to work less effectively than they should. \nWhen sewers and drains get blocked\, it can cause any or all of the following: \n– Foul waste flooding\n– Pollution\n– Excavation and repair\, causing roadworks \nHowever\, it can also lead to plastic pollution\, which is another global crisis that we need to fight. \nNappies\, period care products\, cotton buds and many other items are non-biodegradable because they contain hidden plastics. \nPutting them in our drains increases the chances of plastic making its way into our rivers and seas – into which approximately 8 million pieces of plastic find their way every day. \nThe good news is you can make a big difference\, but without having to make a big effort. \nHow to Get Involved \nAll we want is for you to pay more attention to what you put down the drain this October and commit to putting none of the following down your drains or toilets for the whole month: \n– Cooking oil\n– Food – even crumbs!\n– Anything containing plastic\, including:\n– Wet wipes\n– Tampons\, applicators and wrappers\n– Sanitary/menstrual pads and towels\n– Nappies\n– Condoms\n– Cotton buds\n– Contact lenses\n– Bandages and plasters\n– Razor blades\n– Dental floss \nTake the Unblocktober Challenge By Signing Up Today \nAre you ready to do your bit for the environment this year? If so\, sign up for Unblocktober today at http://www.unblocktober.org.

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen.  The first official Outdoor Sportsmen Day was celebrated in 1970 with the day becoming nationally recognised two years later. \nContrary to popular belief\, anglers and hunters are avid supporters of wildlife conservation. They stand for sustainable use of game and fish.

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside.  Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas. Most of them are open for recreational use. \nThe Nations largest volunteer event\, the event was first held in 1994 when 700 volunteers worked at three sites. The initiative turned out a huge success and became an annual tradition. \nBy 2014\, participation grew to about 175\,000 volunteers at more than 2\,000 sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.  NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment.  Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\,  public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations.  NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nEvery year sees a different theme applied to assist focus.  The theme for 2018 focused on resilience and restoration with the theme for 2019 due to be announced shortly.

SUMMARY:FSC Friday 2019
DESCRIPTION:What is FSC Friday? \nOn September 27th 2019\, the Forest Stewardship Council will be hosting ‘FSC Friday’ an annual event designed to raise awareness about responsible forest management- the best way to keep using forest products and keep our forests too. FSC Friday started in 2008 and has grown every year\, spreading to be a global event. \nWhy FSC Friday? \nWe’re aiming to increase awareness of FSC so that more people choose FSC certified products more of the time. These choices can be personal\, like choosing garden furniture\, greeting cards or even toilet paper. Choosing FSC can also be great for the workplace; does your office have a policy to only buy FSC certified wood and paper? If not\, why? Make the right choice. Choose FSC!

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2019
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.\nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2018\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:Date: 23-29 September 2019 \nlast years theme was: Recycling. We do. Because it matters and it was all about motivating people to care about plastics in a way they never have before. \nSustainability is firmly on the national agenda and the public is looking to organisations to help solve major environmental issues. That makes Recycle Week a greater opportunity than ever to change people’s recycling behaviours while gaining positive publicity and building your organisation’s reputation. \nNow in its 15th year\, Recycle Week is a celebration of recycling\, organised by WRAP under the Recycle Now brand. The aim of the week is to encourage the public to recycle more\, by demonstrating the benefits of recycling items from all around the home. \nThis year’s theme will be: ‘Recycling. We do. Because it matters.’ \nThe theme is designed to capture attention and put across simple but important messages about why recycling matters. Partners will have the opportunity to bust myths and demonstrate why recycling is beneficial – keeping it in use\, and out of our environment. Recycle Week 2019 is going to be our biggest yet! Recycle Now would love to have you involved. \nTake a look at our short film and get inspired to support Recycle Week 2019. If you are an organisation and are interested in getting involved\, please email: PartnerEnquiries@wrap.org.uk and we will get in touch with you to discuss how we can work together. \nYou can also download a one-page introduction from the WRAP Resource Library.

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries. September 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event “promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance”. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain). \nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. The first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. Also in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. The event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is the biggest beach clean and survey in the UK. \nThe information our volunteers have collected over the last 25 years has helped make some of the most significant impacts on beach litter ever – the plastic bag charge\, microplastics banned in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and massive support for a tax on ‘on the go’ plastic single use items. \nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \n\nWant to run your own beach clean event?\nFind out how to become an organiser \n\nMake 2019 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map \nSign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:EUROPEAN­­ MOBILITY­ WEEK 2019
DESCRIPTION:Europeans love variety – in food\, in fashion\, in music – so why is it that when it comes to transport so many of us stick to one mode? This year’s EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK encourages us to explore the many different options available for getting from A to B\, and to think about the mode that best suits our particular journey. \nEUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2018 focused on ‘multimodality’ – the mixing of transport modes within the same journey or for different trips. Many of us instinctively opt for the same method of transport when moving around without necessarily examining the needs of the specific journey. The car may be the best way to take your family to the seaside\, for example\, but is it the best way to get them to the city centre where space and access is often limited? \nThis year\, why not test out different transport modes: cycle to the gym to get a head start on burning calories\, bring your bike on the train to beat the rush hour traffic\, or take the bus and then stroll to the shops to avoid parking fees! \nAs well as providing health benefits\, significant savings can be achieved through a multimodal approach\, particularly when short journeys are completed through walking and cycling. \nEmbracing the concept of multimodality means rethinking the way we move about our cities\, and having the willingness to try out new forms of mobility. From a city’s perspective\, it requires the political will to support alternative transport methods. \nBy introducing some sustainable transport modes into our journeys\, not only can we have a positive impact on the environment\, we may just find that we’re fitter and happier\, with some extra spending money too!

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2019
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human ‎suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity.‎ This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2019
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying:\n• Contain no artificial additives or preservatives.\n• Contain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming.\n• Conform to high standards of animal welfare.\n• Contain no genetically modified ingredients.\n• Have been produced in a way that is sustainable. \nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:On 19th August 2019\, we celebrate World Humanitarian Day. The purpose of World Humanitarian Day is to raise awareness of the plight of civilians around the world who have become caught up in conflicts\, and also honour and raise support for the humanitarian workers who risk\, and sometimes lose\, their lives to help. \nOver 130 million people throughout the world are currently in crisis\, either through war or natural disasters and are in need of humanitarian aid. \nWorld Humanitarian Day was established in 2008 by the United Nations General Assembly and was first officially celebrated in 2009. The date of 19th August was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the bombing of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad\, an event in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, Sergio Vieira de Mellothe and twenty others lost their lives. \nEach year a different theme is chosen for World Humanitarian Day\, for example\, in the past\, the themes have included ‘We Are Humanitarian Workers’\, ‘One Humanity’ and in 2017 ‘Not A Target’ reaffirming that civilians caught up in war zones should not become targets. \nOrganisations worldwide honour this day in a range of ways from fundraisers to lectures and other events all aimed at raising awareness.

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of National Allotment week to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can ‘pause’ the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called ‘You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \n\nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum\nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country\nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes\nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people\nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field\nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

SUMMARY:International Youth Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Just when you thought that Universal Children’s Day would be enough for the UN\, think again: it also runs International Youth Day\, which focuses on tweens and teens and their place in society. It’s not just to protect them\, but to include them in the development of communities around the world\, whether they’re rich or poor. \nAmong the focal areas for youth development and protection with this UN initiative include education\, employment\, the environment\, delinquency\, girls and young women\, HIV/AIDS and intergenerational relations. These were officially decided upon in 1995\, the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Youth. \nInternational Youth Day is held each year on the 12th of August and is an initiative that celebrates the qualities of young people and that recognises the challenges that today’s youth can face. \nInternational Youth Day began in 2000 and was organised by the United Nations to celebrate the contribution that young people make in education\, employment\, conflict resolution and social justice to name a few. \nFor  information on the theme of International Youth Day 2019 keep an eye on the United Nations website for updates.

SUMMARY:World Hepatitis Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Hepatitis Day (WHD) takes places every year on 28 July and brings the world together under a single theme to raise awareness of the global burden of viral hepatitis and to influence real change. One of just four disease-specific global awareness days officially endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO)\, WHD unites patient organisations\, governments\, medical professionals\, civil society\, industry and the general public to boost the global profile of viral hepatitis. \nWHY IS WORLD HEPATITIS DAY IMPORTANT? \nViral hepatitis is one of the leading causes of death globally\, accounting for 1.34 million deaths per year – that’s as many as HIV/AIDS\, tuberculosis or malaria. Together\, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C cause 80% of liver cancer cases in the world. \nViral hepatitis is not found in one location nor amongst one set of people; it is a truly global epidemic that can affect millions of people without them even being aware. Currently\, 90% of people living with hepatitis B and 80% living with hepatitis C are not aware of their status. This can result in the real possibility of developing fatal liver disease at some point in their lives and in some cases\, unknowingly transmitting the infection to others. \nWith the availability of effective vaccines and treatments for hepatitis B and a cure for hepatitis C\, the elimination of viral hepatitis is achievable\, but greater awareness and understanding of the disease and the risks is a must\, as is access to cheaper diagnostics and treatment. \nWith the inclusion of viral hepatitis in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the recent adoption of the world’s first global hepatitis strategy\, we are at a pivotal moment. Now more than ever political commitment is needed. Without urgent action\, deaths will continue to rise and the epidemic will continue to grow. \nWorld Hepatitis Day presents an ideal opportunity: an opportunity to join together and raise the profile of viral hepatitis among the public\, the world’s media and on the global health agenda.

SUMMARY:National Marine Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:Running from the 27th of July to the 11th of August\, to take advantage of the tides\, National Marine Week is a chance to celebrate the wonderful wildlife found in the seas around the UK\, and our relationship with this incredible habitat that surrounds us. \nWildlife Trusts around the UK will be holding sea-themed events\, from snorkelling through the waters of Wembury Bay in Devon\, to exploring the rockpools of Yorkshire’s Boggle Hole on a seashore safari\, or even picnicking with a porpoise on the clifftops of North Wales. \nNo matter where you are in the UK\, there’s plenty to celebrate: our seas are home to over half of all our wildlife (more than 30\,000 species)\, contribute to flood management and water purification\, and provide the oxygen for every other breath you take! \nAnd remember\, in the UK you’re never more than 70 miles from the sea. \nLearn more about events and how you can get involved on our National Marine Week page.

SUMMARY:National Simplicity Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau\, who was born on July 12\, 1817.  Thoreau was an advocate of living simply and wrote a number of well known books on the subject. \nIn the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s\, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts\, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment. \nHappy National Simplicity Day!

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues \nOn July 11th every year is an event known as World Population Day. You may not have heard of such a day before but it has been celebrated for almost three decades. The aim of this day is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \nThe Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. “Family Planning is a Human Right”\, will be the focus of the 2018 celebration. \nWhy Family Planning Has Been Chosen \n2018 marked the 50th anniversary of a conference that focused on family planning. In 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \nMillions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for 2018. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th.  With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out)\n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim)\n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru)\n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely)\n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood)\n6. Feed your mind. (read a book)\n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches.  A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote.   \n \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

SUMMARY:National Clean Air Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Clean Air Day 2019 will be on Thursday 20th June and will see local schools\, hospitals and communities across UK cities run events and inspire other local residents to act for their own health and the health of local children. \nAcross the UK’s city centres\, air pollution is having a major impact on our health\, with dirty air contributing to 40\,000 deaths every year in the UK. \nMany of the UK’s cities exceed the safe and legal limits for air pollution\, which is mainly caused by road transport. \nThe launch of NCAD will give every school\, hospital\, workplace and housing estate free access to cutting-edge advice on avoiding and tackling urban air pollution\, sourced from health experts and academics. \nEvents are already being planned in Birmingham\, Derby\, Leeds\, Manchester\, Nottingham and Southampton; while all UK cities\, including London\, Glasgow\, Edinburgh\, will benefit from the free guides and toolkits available. \nThe day is co-ordinated by environmental change charity\, Global Action Plan. \nChris Large\, Partner at Global Action Plan\, said: ‘We know that people do want to act on air pollution. But currently\, they don’t know how to protect themselves and their children\, or how to cut air pollution in their local area. 20th June will be a day of practical action\, myth-busting and awareness-raising\, so we can all breathe cleaner air. \nEnds \nNOTES TO EDITORS \n\nFor media interviews please contacts Kate Hinton\, Mobile 07714 708416 – kateahinton@gmail.com\n\nABOUT NATIONAL CLEAN AIR DAY – “IF YOU ACT TODAY\, WE’LL ALL BENEFIT TODAY”\n\nNational Clean Air Day will enable people to act on air pollution\, making UK cities cleaner\, healthier and greener for us all – especially children. Children are especially vulnerable to the effects of air pollution\, and action to protect them will be a particular focus on the day. If you act today\, we’ll all benefit today.\nThe day is supported by over 50 health institutions\, councils and universities\, including the Royal College of Physicians\, the British Lung Foundation\, and various NHS Trusts. With DEFRA funding awarded from the Air Quality Grant Scheme 2016-17 Global Action Plan is coordinating events with councils in a network of cities including Birmingham\, Derby\, Leeds\, Greater Manchester\, Nottingham and Southampton.\n\nABOUT GLOBAL ACTION PLAN\n\nGlobal Action Plan brings people together and inspires them to take practical environmental action.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day 2019 is on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year\, and 2019 is the 19th year of the event\, run by the United Nations Refugee Agency\, to state that the world supports and stands with refugees. The event is about raising global awareness of global responsibility for refugees. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Gastronomy Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Gastronomy Day emphasizes the need to focus the world’s attention on the role that sustainable gastronomy can play. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nThe UN General Assembly adopted on 21 December 2016 its resolution A/RES/71/246 and designated 18 June as an international observance\, Sustainable Gastronomy Day. \nThe decision acknowledges gastronomy as a cultural expression related to the natural and cultural diversity of the world. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nSustainable gastronomy can play a role due to its interlinkages with the three dimensions of sustainable development\, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting: \n\nagricultural development;\nfood security;\nnutrition;\nsustainable food production; and\nconservation of biodiversity.\n\nA pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development: geographical indications (GIs)\nThe promotion of linkages between local producers\, their local areas and their food products through geographical indications (GIs) is recognised as a pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development for rural communities throughout the world. The quality and specific attributes of food linked to origin\, its diversity and local access are all matters that affect sustainable food systems and healthy diets. (Source: FAO)

SUMMARY:Plastic Free beauty Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Plastic Free Beauty Day\, which We Are Paradoxx will be launching on the 17th of June – a campaign for consumers and the industry alike. The UN has predicted that if the rate of waste production continues\, by 2050 our oceans will carry more plastic than fish and an estimated 99 per cent of seabirds will have ingested plastic. The UN also declared our current situation a “planetary crisis”. The Beauty industry and its contribution to this MUST make a change. We are calling all brands\, consumers and retailers to JOIN US and reconsider their use of plastic\, whether it be virgin\, recycled or reclaimed from the sea because the problem is that it ends up back in the sea or landfill which makes the type of plastic irrelevant. There is no such thing as “good plastic”. \nWe Are Paradoxx will take to the street’s of London on Monday 17th of June. Educating consumers on the issues around the misconceptions around recycled plastics\, that this is only delaying the problem for future generations. Collecting beauty waste and packaging throughout the day\, to promote and showcase how brands\, retailers and consumers alike can make small changes to make a big difference. To make informed choices\, choosing more sustainable materials\, such as aluminium that can be recycled on an infinite loop.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2019
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the “World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought” to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration\nEvery year\, during the month of June\, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe\, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place\, way back in 1969. \nAs well as being a month long celebration\, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community.  Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month\, and there are many street parties\, community events\, poetry readings\, public speaking\, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants. \nThe New York Pride Parade is one of the largest and most well known parades to take place\, with an estimated 500\,000 people participating in it by the time it had reached its 25th anniversary. \nPride Month is so important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+ community\, as well as the wider societal implications.  Although attitudes and injustice still remain\, we have come a long way since the riots of 1969 and by continuing in this long standing tradition we continue to raise awareness\, improve the attitudes of society and encourage inclusiveness.  #Pride2019 \nWhat were the Stonewall Riots?\nThe riots were prompted by a raid that took place during the early morning\, at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village\, Manhattan. The LGBT community held a series of spontaneous\, often violent demonstrations to protest against the raid and calling for the establishment of places that gays and lesbians could go and be open about their sexual orientation. In such places there should be no fears of being arrested. The riots served as a catalyst for the rights of LGBT people\, and within 6 months\, 2 gay activist groups had formed in New York. Over the years since the event\, many gay rights organisations have been formed. Not just in the US but around the world. \nWhat is LGBT or Gay Pride?\nIt is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. For lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity\, equal rights\, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. \nWho Started the June Celebration?\nKnown as the “Mother of Pride”\, it was Brenda Howard who coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events then developed into the annual LGBT celebrations held every June.

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2019
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. \nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in Côte d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore.

Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support. \nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar?\nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2019
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. \nBridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity – in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) – are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \n\nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture\nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals\nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks\nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day in the USA 2019
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting. \nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate. \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872. \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment.

The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention.

The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths.

SUMMARY:International Mother Earth Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Mother Earth Day is celebrated to remind each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance. \nIt also recognizes a collective responsibility\, as called for in the 1992 Rio Declaration\, to promote harmony with nature and the Earth to achieve a just balance among the economic\, social and environmental needs of present and future generations of humanity. \nInternational Mother Earth Day provides an opportunity to raise public awareness around the world to the challenges regarding the well-being of the planet and all the life it supports. \nEducation is the foundation for progress. We need to build a global citizenry fluent in the concepts of climate change and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet. We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection. \nEnvironmental and climate literacy is the engine not only for creating green voters and advancing environmental and climate laws and policies but also for accelerating green technologies and jobs.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s “Health for All”. \nIt has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a “sound investment in their human capital”; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also “protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality”. \nThat’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2019 International Dark Sky Week is Sunday\, March 31 – Sunday\, April 7!  \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. This year celebrations begin on Sunday\, March 31\, and run through Saturday\, April 7 (click here for resources to use during the week). \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, “I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. … I want to help preserve its wonder.” \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read “5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week“! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:World Water Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Water Day takes place each and every year on March 22nd\, and aims to underline the importance of water. While this may sound simple – and\, in many people’s eyes\, a bit daft – the lack of clean water around the world\, alongside the damaging effects of global warming\, water pollution and damaged water tables\, is more important to understand than ever. \nThe initiative is spearheaded by the UN\, alongside UNESCO\, the World Water Council and the WWF – the one with pandas\, not the one with Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. Using the day as a basis for longer-term action\, the UN aims to ensure that everyone in the world has access to safe water by 2030\, while not impacting the environment.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2019
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on Wednesday 20th March 2019. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning ‘equal night’ in Latin. \nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:Disabled Access Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:In 2015 Disabled Access Day began as a day to celebrate good access and created opportunities for people to try something new.

SUMMARY:Plant Power Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:On the nation Plant Power Day (Wednesday 7th March 2019) Alpro is calling on Brits to makeover their meals and bring plant-based foods to the top of the menu.The whole day is dedicated to inspiring people to put plants first – which means\, just for one day\, making plant-based foods the first thing they think about when it comes to their food and drink choices. \nThe idea is that once people see how delicious and easy it can be\, and the difference it can make to our health\, and the planet\, more of us might just start putting plants first more often in the future. \nAlpro want everyone to see how easy it can be to add more plants at mealtimes – to put plants first and pile them high. \nThe more people that get involved and start to switch up their mindset a little\, putting plants first at mealtimes\, most of the time\, the more of a difference we can make to our health and the health of our planet. \nBecause whether someone’s a meat-eater\, 100% plant-eater\, pescatarian or flexitarian\, if we all start adding more plants (in the way that works for us\, right now)\, the better for us all right? \nIf you want to get involved\, we urge you to host your own ‘planquet’. A planquet is a meal that puts plants first. It can be big or small\, from a plant-based feast with friends or family\, or a plant-based breakfast at your desk\, it just needs to bring plants from the side of the plate to a delicious main event.

SUMMARY:World Day of the Sick 2019
DESCRIPTION:February 11 is World Day of the Sick\, an observation started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes. \nPeople around the world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day. Faith organisations mark this day especially to provide the sick with medicines\, food\, and spiritual guidance. \nPope John Paul II initiated the day in 1992 to encourage people to pray for those who suffer from illness and for their caregivers. The Pope himself had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s a year before\, in 1991\, and it is considered that his own illness was impetus for his designation of the day. \nPope Benedict XVI also declared his decision to resign from his post as the Pope on this day in 2013. He cited his failing health as the reason behind his decision.

This day is also important for volunteer storm spotters and observers. \nNational Weatherperson’s Day commemorates the birthday of John Jeffries\, the first weather observer in the Untied States. He started taking daily weather observation in 1774 in Boston and made his first balloon weather observation in 1784.We take weather forecast for granted and never think what stands behind it. \nMen and women at your local National Weather Service gather raw data\, analyze it and study numerical computer models to issue the weather forecast or warning to protect your life and property. \nNational Weather Service improves its capability to warn people of impending hazardous weather. Up to date forecasts are more accurate\, then they were 10 years ago\, and warnings lead time increases year by year. \nWhy not find out more about how the weather forecasts we receive daily are collated and communicated and have a bash with your colleagues or school friends at presenting the weather just like they do on TV? \n

SUMMARY:World Wetlands Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year on 2 February. This day marks the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971\, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Since 1997\, the Ramsar Secretariat provides outreach materials to help raise public awareness about the importance and value of wetlands. \n“Wetlands that help us cope with extreme weather events” was the theme of the Wetlands Youth Photo contest\, organized by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands from 2 February to 2 March 2017. Due to climate change\, extreme weather events such as storms\, floods and droughts are on the increase. When well-managed\, healthy wetlands absorb and store excess rainfall and store it for the dry season\, which helps communities cope with extreme weather events protecting them from disasters.

SUMMARY:Big Garden Birdwatch 2019
DESCRIPTION:Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey. We’ve got everything you need to know about joining in! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s the history of Big Garden Birdwatch?\n\nLet’s rewind the clock and start at the beginning! \nIt’s 1979 and we’re looking for a simple winter activity that our junior membership can get involved in. As it’s likely to be cold and the evenings dark\, we think a weekend activity in the garden would be best. \nSo\, we asked our members to count the birds in their gardens\, all at the same time\, so we could work out what the UK’s top 10 most common garden birds are. \nBiddy Baxter – then editor of Blue Peter – liked the idea so much that she featured the survey on one of the programmes. We only expected a few hundred children to take part but\, thanks to Biddy’s coverage\, we actually received more than 34\,000 forms! \nAnd that’s how our ‘one-off’ activity grew into the regular event it is today. Although it wasn’t until 2001 that we invited adults to join in the fun\, too \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:International Volunteers Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:International Volunteer Day (IVD) on 5 December was designated by the United Nations in 1985 as an international observance day to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism. \nIt is an opportunity for volunteers\, and volunteer organisations\, to raise awareness of\, and gain understanding for\, the contribution they make to their communities.

And when they volunteer\, they also gain a greater sense of belonging to their communities.\nOn 5 December\, people around the world will celebrate IVD with rallies\, parades\, volunteer fairs\, group clean ups\, blood donations\, conferences\, exhibitions\, fundraising\, workshops and volunteer recognition events.

DESCRIPTION:Each year we hold Carers Rights Day to bring organisations across the UK together to help carers in their local community know their rights and find out how to get the help and support they are entitled to. If you are caring for someone at the moment and would like to find out more about your rights and how to get help\, click here. \nIn 2018 Carers Rights Day will be on 30 of November.  \nCarers Rights day 2017\nOur last Carers Rights Day was held on the 24 of November 2017. We released new public polling\, showing that unpaid carers are missing out on vital support as the public is ‘unable to recognise friends and family that care’. More than half of those surveyed believe they didn’t know a single friend or family member looking after a loved one\, despite one in 10 people being carers in the UK.

SUMMARY:World Vegan Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:Every year on 1st November\, vegans around the world celebrate and champion for their vegan lifestyle. According to many acclaimed vegans\, the lifestyle is beneficial for the health of the human beings\, not to mention that it fosters environmental protection as well as the lives of animals. \nThe commemoration of this event began in 1994 by a UK celebrity\, Louise Wallis\, who was at the time the chair of The Vegan Society\, as they celebrated its 50th birthday\, the coinage of the terms vegan and veganism\, as well as the inception of The Vegan Society. \nNot wanting the event to coincide with others like Day of the Dead and Halloween\, and because of the doubts as to the exact date in November 1944 when the society was started\, Wallis decided to go with the first day of November. \nAround the globe\, World Vegan Day is commemorated through exhibitions\, seminars\, public debates\, workshops among others. The day presents a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to adopt the vegan lifestyle. During the event\, they can learn\, interact and maybe at the end of it; they will decide to become vegans. \nThe day also is a perfect chance for individuals to advocate the lifestyle\, share ideas and sensitize their friends on its importance as well as how they feel. \nSome of the prominent celebrities who usually commemorate the event include Ellen DeGeneres\, Ariana Grande\, Stevie Wonder\, Peter Dinklage\, Bellamy Young\, James Cameron\, Pamela Anderson among others. \nThere is no specific venue for the celebration of the event. It can be held anywhere. This year’s World Vegan Day will be on Thursday\, 1st November 2018.

SUMMARY:National Refill Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:Today is National Refill Day and it’s all about campaigning to get refill points installed in public areas to try to encourage us to ditch the bottled water in favour of filling up at refillable water points while we’re on the go. \nSingle use plastic is a massive problem from all environmental aspects. We all know about the problems that this is causing when plastic turns up in our oceans and endangers our marine life but there’s also the unnecessary carbon footprint that transporting bottled water leaves and it’s about time that we tackle this issue head on. \nTo get involved in the chat around this day online you can use the Twitter hashtag #NationalRefillDay #PlasticFree #RefillRevolution

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries. September 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event “promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance”. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain). \nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. The first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. Also in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative.

The purpose of World Humanitarian Day is to raise awareness of the plight of civilians around the world who have become caught up in conflicts\, and also honour and raise support for the humanitarian workers who risk\, and sometimes lose\, their lives to help. \nOver 130 million people throughout the world are currently in crisis\, either through war or natural disasters and are in need of humanitarian aid. \nWorld Humanitarian Day was established in 2008 by the United Nations General Assembly and was first officially celebrated in 2009. The date of 19th August was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the bombing of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad\, an event in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, Sergio Vieira de Mellothe and twenty others lost their lives. \nEach year a different theme is chosen for World Humanitarian Day\, for example\, in the past\, the themes have included ‘We Are Humanitarian Workers’\, ‘One Humanity’ and in 2017 ‘Not A Target’ reaffirming that civilians caught up in war zones should not become targets. \nOrganisations worldwide honour this day in a range of ways from fundraisers to lectures and other events all aimed at raising awareness.

SUMMARY:National Allotment Week 2018
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of National Allotment week to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can ‘pause’ the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called ‘You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \n\nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum\nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country\nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes\nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people\nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field\nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

SUMMARY:International Youth Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:Just when you thought that Universal Children’s Day would be enough for the UN\, think again: it also runs International Youth Day\, which focuses on tweens and teens and their place in society. It’s not just to protect them\, but to include them in the development of communities around the world\, whether they’re rich or poor. \nAmong the focal areas for youth development and protection with this UN initiative include education\, employment\, the environment\, delinquency\, girls and young women\, HIV/AIDS and intergenerational relations. These were officially decided upon in 1995\, the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Youth. \nInternational Youth Day is held each year on the 12th of August and is an initiative that celebrates the qualities of young people and that recognises the challenges that today’s youth can face. \nInternational Youth Day began in 2000 and was organised by the United Nations to celebrate the contribution that young people make in education\, employment\, conflict resolution and social justice to name a few. \nFor  information on the theme of International Youth Day 2018 keep an eye on the United Nations website for updates.

SUMMARY:International Friendship Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:The UN loves to make an awareness day for pretty much everything\, and it’s certainly got its corner of the market by picking the vaguest themes. Therefore\, the wonderfully wide-reaching “International Day of Friendship” exists\, and with an interesting and understandable concept: by making friends with more people\, there’s less chance of injustice\, war\, poverty and much more. \n“Through friendship — by accumulating bonds of camaraderie and developing strong ties of trust — we can contribute to the fundamental shifts that are urgently needed to achieve lasting stability\,” explains the UN. So why not make your community\, pub or just your living room that little more stable by getting together with your mates and celebrating each other’s company?

SUMMARY:World Hepatitis Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:Organised and held each year on July 28th by the World Hepatitis Alliance\, World Hepatitis Day draws attention to disease which\, while certainly heard of by many\, is not fully understood by most. Yet right now\, 300 million people around the world are unaware that they’re living with viral hepatitis. \nEach year\, over 1.3 million people die from hepatitis\, while two in every three liver cancer deaths are directly attributable to it. Using the day as the perfect opportunity to highlight this issue\, charities around the world continue to find those undiagnosed people and push them towards the care they need\, avoiding yet more preventable deaths.

SUMMARY:National Simplicity Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau\, who was born on July 12\, 1817.  Thoreau was an advocate of living simply and wrote a number of well known books on the subject. \nIn the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s\, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts\, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment. \nHappy National Simplicity Day!

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

From proclamations to ceremonies\, parties to videos and conferences\, World Humanist Day is an opportunity to publicise Humanism\, to reach out to the media and educate. Different themes may be adopted in different countries but each to the same aim\, to improve awareness of Humanist thinking and Humanist values. \nMoney and awareness may be raised for a free-thought group in another country\, illustrating the solidarity of the movement. With June 21st being summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere many participants will take to the outdoors to mark the day\, either with a party or even a picnic\, encouraging families to get involved and learn all about the ethical values of humanism.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day 2018 is on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year\, and 2018 is the 18th year of the event\, run by the United Nations Refugee Agency\, to state that the world supports and stands with refugees. The event is about raising global awareness of global responsibility for refugees. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2018

In the UK\, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts\, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK\, and encourages a better understanding between communities. \nRefugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Gastronomy Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Gastronomy Day emphasizes the need to focus the world’s attention on the role that sustainable gastronomy can play. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nThe UN General Assembly adopted on 21 December 2016 its resolution A/RES/71/246 and designated 18 June as an international observance\, Sustainable Gastronomy Day. \nThe decision acknowledges gastronomy as a cultural expression related to the natural and cultural diversity of the world. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nSustainable gastronomy can play a role due to its interlinkages with the three dimensions of sustainable development\, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting: \n\nagricultural development;\nfood security;\nnutrition;\nsustainable food production; and\nconservation of biodiversity.\n\nA pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development: geographical indications (GIs)\nThe promotion of linkages between local producers\, their local areas and their food products through geographical indications (GIs) is recognised as a pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development for rural communities throughout the world. The quality and specific attributes of food linked to origin\, its diversity and local access are all matters that affect sustainable food systems and healthy diets. (Source: FAO)

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2018
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the “World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought” to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2018
DESCRIPTION:An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration\nEvery year\, during the month of June\, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe\, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place\, way back in 1969. \nWhat were the Stonewall Riots?\nThe riots were prompted by a raid that took place during the early morning\, at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village\, Manhattan. The LGBT community held a series of spontaneous\, often violent demonstrations to protest against the raid and calling for the establishment of places that gays and lesbians could go and be open about their sexual orientation. In such places there should be no fears of being arrested. The riots served as a catalyst for the rights of LGBT people\, and within 6 months\, 2 gay activist groups had formed in New York. Over the years since the event\, many gay rights organisations have been formed. Not just in the US but around the world. \nWhat is LGBT or Gay Pride?\nIt is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. For lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity\, equal rights\, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. \nWho Started the June Celebration?\nKnown as the “Mother of Pride”\, it was Brenda Howard who coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events then developed into the annual LGBT celebrations held every June.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2018
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. \nBridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity – in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) – are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \n\nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture\nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals\nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks\nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day in the USA 2018
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting.  \nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate.  \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872.  \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885.  \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s “Health for All”. \nIt has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a “sound investment in their human capital”; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also “protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality”. \nThat’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:World Water Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:World Water Day takes place each and every year on March 22nd\, and aims to underline the important of water. While this may sound simple – and\, in many people’s eyes\, a bit daft – the lack of clean water around the world\, alongside the damaging effects of global warming\, water pollution and damaged water tables\, is more important to understand than ever. \n  \nThe initiative is spearheaded by the UN\, alongside UNESCO\, the World Water Council and the WWF – the one with pandas\, not the one with Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. Using the day as a basis for longer-term action\, the UN aims to ensure that everyone in the world has access to safe water by 2030\, while not impacting the environment.

SUMMARY:Plant Power Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:On the nation’s first Plant Power Day (Wednesday 7th March 2018) Alpro is calling on Brits to makeover their meals and bring plant-based foods to the top of the menu.The whole day is dedicated to inspiring people to put plants first – which means\, just for one day\, making plant-based foods the first thing they think about when it comes to their food and drink choices. \nThe idea is that once people see how delicious and easy it can be\, and the difference it can make to our health\, and the planet\, more of us might just start putting plants first more often in the future. \nAlpro want everyone to see how easy it can be to add more plants at mealtimes – to put plants first and pile them high. \nThe more people that get involved and start to switch up their mindset a little\, putting plants first at mealtimes\, most of the time\, the more of a difference we can make to our health and the health of our planet. \nBecause whether someone’s a meat-eater\, 100% plant-eater\, pescatarian or flexitarian\, if we all start adding more plants (in the way that works for us\, right now)\, the better for us all right? \nIf you want to get involved\, we urge you to host your own ‘planquet’. A planquet is a meal that puts plants first. It can be big or small\, from a plant-based feast with friends or family\, or a plant-based breakfast at your desk\, it just needs to bring plants from the side of the plate to a delicious main event.

SUMMARY:World Wetlands Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year on 2 February. This day marks the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971\, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Since 1997\, the Ramsar Secretariat provides outreach materials to help raise public awareness about the importance and value of wetlands. \n“Wetlands that help us cope with extreme weather events” was the theme of the Wetlands Youth Photo contest\, organized by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands from 2 February to 2 March 2017. Due to climate change\, extreme weather events such as storms\, floods and droughts are on the increase. When well-managed\, healthy wetlands absorb and store excess rainfall and store it for the dry season\, which helps communities cope with extreme weather events protecting them from disasters.
