Participate in World Zero Emissions Day by following the Green Protocols!

WORLD ZERO EMISSIONS DAY

In 2008, activist Ken Wallace, from Nova Scotia, Canada, proposed a day free from carbon emissions. This day is now known as Zero Emissions Day, or ZeDay, and is celebrated on September 21st. Its concise slogan, "Giving our Planet a day off a year," portrays the main goal of this event.

The date represents balance, with the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the vernal equinox in the Southern Hemisphere symbolizing the balance between humans and nature.

Since its inception, ZeDay has gained a global following, with over 100 countries participating by 2020. Even influential organizations like the United Nations and environmental NGOs support the initiative.  Source

2023 Theme Actions for peace: Our ambition for the #GlobalGoals

Each year the International Day of Peace (IDP) is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. Never has our world needed peace more.

This year’s theme is Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #GlobalGoals. It is a call to action that recognizes our individual and collective responsibility to foster peace. Fostering peace contributes to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will create a culture of peace for all.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said, "Peace is needed today more than ever. War and conflict are unleashing devastation, poverty, and hunger, and driving tens of millions of people from their homes. Climate chaos is all around. And even peaceful countries are gripped by gaping inequalities and political polarization."
