World Environment Day isn’t just a date—it’s a powerful reminder that our everyday choices matter.
This year’s theme, #BeatPlasticPollution, is a global call to reduce our dependence on plastic and take meaningful action—from governments to our own households.
Here’s how you can get involved:
🔍 Do a plastic audit
Take a look at your weekly waste and see where plastic is creeping in. Awareness is the first step to change.
♻️ Make the switch
From kitchen and lunchware to cleaning and personal care, choose reusable, refillable alternatives whenever you can.
🌱 Compost your scraps
Food waste in landfill produces methane—a potent greenhouse gas. Composting helps reduce emissions and nourishes the soil.
🛍️ Support local and low-waste
Shop at bulk food stores, bring your own reusable bags and containers, and choose local produce whenever possible.
📣 Speak up and share
Talk to friends, share your eco-swaps online, and keep the conversation going. Awareness drives collective action.
Why it matters:
Plastic pollution is choking our oceans, harming wildlife, and even entering our food and water. But change starts with us.
As consumers, we have power. The more we choose sustainable, plastic-free options, the more accessible and affordable they become—and the less demand there will be for plastic.
It’s simple economics: if we stop asking for plastic, brands will stop making it.
Together, we can drive the shift to a cleaner, healthier planet.

4. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) until the tops are golden and crispy.

International Compost Awareness Week!
Compost, often referred to as “black gold,” is the result of decomposed organic material that naturally improves soil by providing essential nutrients and helpful microorganisms. International Compost Awareness Week, celebrated in the first week of May each year, brings attention to the value of composting and encourages individuals, businesses, councils, and communities to engage in organic recycling.
The United Nations highlights the environmental impact of sending food waste to landfills, as it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and drives climate change. There’s an increasing need for action from both individuals and organizations to cut down on food waste. Fortunately, new strategies for handling waste are constantly being developed, making it easier to adopt sustainable habits.

This is a significant amount, contributing to the global issue of plastic pollution.With plastic production expected to triple by 2026, this over production crises is worsening, as plastic is not truly recyclable, it pollutes ecosystems and endangers wildlife.
