It is possible for all of us to join this day. It is quite simple, sometimes even a small step that will have a great positive impact on the environment is enough. Let's watch the consumption of water, the electric power; let's sort garbage, we can refuse plastic bags - environmentally friendly and quite economical; let us take care of every plant in order to make our home, the planet Earth, better and cleaner by our actions. It is a contribution to the future of our lives and the lives of our children!
