The Way to Happiness Association is
observing World Environment Day on June 2nd with a networking meeting on behalf
of the environment.
It’s
Your City – Green It Up. This has been the slogan for a series of meetings for
World Environment Day, organized by the Way to Happiness Association of
Tennessee, since 2016.
The
Way to Happiness Association wants this event to bring people together who care
about the environment so they can connect and do bigger things. The Way to
Happiness Association was formed around the book The Way To Happiness, written
by humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.
The
Way to Happiness is filled with twenty-one precepts based on the fact that
one’s survival depends on the survival of others. One of these precepts is
“Safeguard and Improve the Environment,” which takes to heart care for the
planet. In applying this precept, the local Association has organized cleanup
projects of all sorts, and now the local chapter wants to branch out and
include all environmental organizations in a discussion to make an even bigger
impact.
Volunteers
also plan to do cleanups around World Environment Day under this same banner.
World
Environment Day occurs each year on June 5th and is celebrated by the United
Nations. According to unep.org, World Environment Day “…has grown to be a
broad, global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated by
stakeholders in over 100 countries. It also serves as the ‘people’s day’ for
doing something positive for the environment, galvanizing individual actions
into a collective power that generates an exponential positive impact on the
planet.”
