🌍 “Our Planet Thrives With Us; Protect Nature, Build the Future!”
Every year on June 5, we celebrate World Environment Day to raise awareness about protecting nature and addressing environmental challenges. With the 2025 theme “Beat Plastic Pollution”, this day calls for urgent and collective action against the damage caused by plastic waste.
Why Does It Matter?
🛑 Plastic is everywhere: Around 400 million tons of plastic are produced every year. Half of it is single-use. The rest pollutes our oceans, land, and air.
🐢 Marine life is in danger: Plastic waste becomes deadly traps for sea creatures. Millions of animals die each year due to plastic pollution.
💧 Water and soil are being contaminated: Microplastics enter water sources, threatening agriculture and public health.
🌡️ It fuels the climate crisis: Plastic production relies on fossil fuels and significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
What Can We Do to Protect the Environment?
🌱 Ditch single-use products: Carry your own water bottle, shopping bag, and coffee cup. Small changes make a big impact.
♻️ Reduce waste, recycle more: Use recycling bins wisely. Separate your plastic waste and reuse what you can.
📚 Spread awareness: Educate those around you about environmental issues to help drive community-level change.
🧼 Volunteer for a cleaner environment: Join beach, forest, or neighborhood clean-up events and take direct action.
💚 As Cappadocia University, we believe that a sustainable and nature-friendly life is only possible together. We remain committed to fulfilling our individual and institutional responsibilities to protect the environment. 🌿
