Global Fact of the Day:

Today is World Environment Day!

“First held in 1974, it has led the campaign for raising awareness from environmental issues to marine pollution, human overpopulation, and global warming, to sustainable consumption and wildlife crime. This year’s theme is “Time for Nature” and will be hosted in Colombia in partnership with Germany. Colombia is one of the largest “Megadiverse” nations in the world to hold 10% of the planet’s biodiversity.”

Global Challenges:

· Inspired by our Virtual Art Show yesterday, create a piece of art that addresses the theme and Colombia’s “megadiversity.” Extra bonus dojo points if your art connects to one of the environmental issues! Send a picture of your artwork to Mrs. Dalimonte.
