June 5 is World Environment Day (WED), which aims to inspire actions to prevent the growing strain on our earth’s natural systems.
This year’s WED theme is, “Go Wild for Life,” and it encourages us to celebrate those animal and plant species under threat—in your town, city, country or another part of the globe. WED encourages us to take individual action to safeguard endangered species for future generations.
WED is one of many environmentally focused corporate social responsibility initiatives of BCD Travel. Every year, BCD encourages its employees to mark the day by doing something that’s good for the planet—and encouraging others to do the same. They share inspirational photos and stories of their WED efforts with colleagues around the globe.
