🌎️ World Environment Day | Badge of the Month | June 2023

 🌎️ I have quite a few favorite places on Earth! I absolutely love Utah and think it is one of the most beautiful places on this planet. I feel the same way about Positano, Italy, and Santorini, Greece! All three destinations are simply stunning.

I plan to celebrate all year in two ways 😃 

I recently picked up gardening and plan to grow edible plants. I also plan to continue reducing my plastic consumption - replacing plastic products with glass and other sustainable alternatives! 🌎️

Good morning from a sunny Sweden! 
My soul is at peace when I’m close to water. So I my favorite place is probably along the South-East parts of Sweden where the archipelago extends from the coastline out into the ocean with thousands of small islands. 

Roatan, Honduras is one of my favorite places.  My brother and I went scuba diving there and it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life!

Not just on World Environment Day, but every day I am working with my children (ages 2 and 4) on the importance of caring for our environment (reusable containers versus plastic single use, the importance of recycling, etc.)

My favorite place on Earth is Yosemite. I grew up in California and visited as a kid and no other place has left me quite as awestruck.  When my grandmother died, we received a box of photos from her house. In it, was a photo of my grandmother in her 20’s in a stream with Half Dome in the background. My daughters are five years old, but I plan to take them to as many national parks as possible as they get older. Yosemite is on the list.

And in general, I love any place on Earth I can snorkel and be with the fish.  Growing up swimming, I love being in the water and snorkeling. A recent trip to a pretty average beach on Oahu yielded multiple sea turtle sightings where they swam up alongside me (and because of state law I had to swim away!)

To celebrate World Environment Day, we’ll be planting a new tree in our yard to replace one that has died.  We are currently researching the best tree for where we are located, with wildlife, climate, and our property layout in mind.

My favorite places are often near water, able to be at peace and to share them with loved ones. I just discovered this one, on the shore of the tidal Potomac River near where we live in Virginia. This picture, which I took last weekend, was deeply evocative and peaceful when I saw it for the first time in the middle of a long hike. It reminds me of how we are all interconnected as human beings living on the Earth.

And of course I would be remiss if I left out a shot of the outdoor batting cages that I’ve been going to for the last several years to blow off steam and literally get into rhythm.

My favorite place on earth is Walt Disney World.  I debated on whether or not to put this because I wasn’t sure if the answer was in the spirit of the question.  But when I thought about it, Disney as a company has been very transparent in their mission of reducing emissions, sustainability, conservation (via their Animal Kingdom theme park), and waste reduction (if you’ve been to a park lately you know they've completely eliminated plastic straws and stirrers).  So I felt it was an appropriate answer.  :)

Personally, we will continue composting, growing some of our own herbs/vegetables, and recycling! 

Hello everyone.... 

There are a quite places that are my favourite on this planet but one out of them I would love to visit the most is Shree Kedarnath dham in uttrakhand, India . It's one of the most divine pilgrimage places for the devotees with a breathtaking views and scenes. 

For the environmental day... Will be looking out for cleanliness in the society and help others for the same cause. Also will try go on random trash pickup with the teams/campaigns 

I have increasingly been mindful of ways to lesson my environmental impact and contribute towards a greener earth. I found a great free app called Treecard (referral code: tanner-u2h if you’re interested) that allows you to “plant” a tree every 10,000 steps you walk, and you can earn rewards to have them donate to Plastic Bank to help retrieve plastic from the ocean. So far, I have been able to have 7 trees planted and 48 plastic bottles removed from the ocean! I have found it to be a great way to help motivate me to walk more and also to be more mindful of the world we live in. I am excited to celebrate this month and I want to find other ways to contribute to the wonderful organizations that reduce their environmental impact and directly contribute towards a sustainable future.

My favorite place is where ever I am with my family.  We have prioritized experiences in my relationship since day one and carried the tradition to our kids.  We have taken then all around the US, Portugal and Iceland!

My Home town Dehradun 🇮🇳 is my favorite place. I'm planning to more plates in my home. Also will Reduce the use of paper in my day to day work.

I feel like there’s no better place in the world than ones  home…. And no better way to start thinking about the environment then home itself… so will be more involved and encouraged in keeping clean thệ surroundings…

Recently started with planting … got 2 new and taking care of the existing ….. like this one grew alittle big in a month or so

 

What a beautiful plant! Is it a Golden Pathos? And, I completely agree - there’s no place like home!

  Thankyou @AmaraW and yes correctly guessed …..it’s a Golden Pothos, commonly called as money plant in India 🇮🇳. 

Palitana Jain Temple (Also known as Shatrunjay Hills), nestled in the mesmerizing hills of Gujarat, India, holds a special place in my heart as my favorite destination on Earth.

At least twice a year I pay a visit to this divine place, still my thirst to again visit never goes down.

Hi!! My favourite place on earth is anywhere I can share with my loved ones. Today, I would say the small village i live, near Madrid. A place called Cabanillas de la Sierra, with only 800 people ;-)

But also love to travel and could think in many places in Latinamerica, US, Asia, Europe, Africa….
