To mark World Environment Day, the Ngong community converged at the Ngong transport terminus, from where they combed the town, picking up plastic trash and cleaning up the areas for a better environment.
World Environment Day is marked to raise awareness about pressing environmental issues, encouraging sustainable practices and mobilising governments, organisations, and individuals to contribute to a healthier planet.
World Environment Day is an annual event held on June 5th, led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and it serves as a call to action for individuals, organisations, and governments to take meaningful steps toward environmental protection and sustainability.
The theme for this year is "Ending Plastic Pollution", which highlights the urgent need to reduce plastic waste and promote eco-friendly alternatives.
