In the end,
this World Environment Day was so much more than
we could have imagined.
It's hard to
narrow it down, but - of everything that happened
yesterday - we've pulled out six
achievements that stood out. Take a look.
| |
 |
| 1. The Government of India
made an astonishing commitment
to ban all single-use plastics by
2022. Get the details here.
| |
 |
| 4. #BeatPlasticPollution tag
went viral. From Hollywood to
Bollywood, from the corporate world to community
groups, our tag game took off. More
than 500,000 tweets used the
#WorldEnvironmentDay hashtag, which was the #1
trending topic worldwide.

 |
|
5.
Our engagement in China was off the
charts. #BeatPlasticPollution was
the top-trending hashtag on Weibo, one of
China’s largest social media platform, with
tagged posts appearing in front of some 230
million users on 5 June. Our
Chinese Goodwill Ambassadors led the charge, with Li Chen’s
video alone racking up more than 7.3
million
views. | |
 |
| 6. Thousands of you got
outside and did something yesterday.
From a group of nuns in Trinidad
and Tobago, to school kids in Bahrain, to sherpas in Nepal, to this
woman who wore a bottle dress on the streets of
New York - you guys showed up yesterday. So
thank you! We couldn't have done it without
you.
