‘Citizens come to us and they are interested for the program of marking the World Environment Day. They give us their suggestions about what would they do to contribute the preservation of environment’, said the representative of the Organisation ‘Fea’ Nejra Selimović.
Every year on 5 June, people throughout the world mark World Environment Day. Hundreds of thousands of activities aimed to improve the environment and provide a better future for the planet take place in almost every country throughout the world.
The main message of the marking the World Environment Day in Sarajevo is ‘‘Because we care: Let’s Share”. The components are contained in three aspects of ideas about sharing around which all activities are concentrated: Share food, share information, share knowledge.
The message reflects the concept of sharing as a universal answer to the global challenges of today and reflects the tradition of BiH and Sarajevo that includes helping fellow citizens, family and neighbours, as well as foreigners, with the greatest care and sharing their meals with those who need it.
