Thursday June 3rd is World Bicycle Day and Saturday June 5th is World Environment Day.
World Bicycle Day celebrates the exhilaration of cycling and aims to bring awareness about road safety for cyclists as well as to how cycling benefits the environment.
You can travel by bicycle on either or both United Nations observed days, or any day to reduce your environmental impact and support the goals of World Environment Day.
Consider taking a bike as your daily mode of transportation.
For World Environment Day, the United Nations asks us to
REIMAGINE. RECREATE. RESTORE.
This is our moment.
We cannot turn back time. But we can grow trees, green our cities, rewild our gardens,
change our diets and clean up rivers and coasts. We are the generation that can make peace with nature.
Let’s get active, not anxious. Let’s be bold, not timid.
