World Environment Day and World Ocean Day
This is the perfect time to get inspired and take action to prevent litter, eliminate unnecessary waste, make your voice heard, and be more mindful in acknowledgment of World Environment Day on June 5 and World Ocean Day on June 8.
There are plenty of ways to share the message with your community!

- Consumer Action—Connect with your favorite brands and let them know you want to see less packaging or more sustainable alternatives.
- Say No to Overflow and Kick Litter to the Curb—If you see an overflowing trash or recycling bin you, can help reduce litter by not adding trash to the bin. At home, make sure your recyclables and trash are contained.
- Be Mindful—Take a moment to think about how to protect your favorite outdoor places, plants or wildlife, your community, your neighbors, or a natural resource you are grateful for.
