Samsung Engineering jointly with UN Environment would like to launch the 11th Eco-generation Environmental Essay Competition inviting the youth all over the world to raise awareness on the theme of the upcoming World Environment Day 2018 – Beat Plastic Pollution.
‘Beat Plastic Pollution’, the theme for World Environment Day 2018, is a call to action for all of us to come together to combat one of the great environmental challenges of our time. Chosen by this year’s host, India, the theme of World Environment Day 2018 invites us all to consider how we can make changes in our everyday lives to reduce the heavy burden of plastic pollution on our natural places, our wildlife – and our own health.
