THE Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), on Sunday, hosted their annual Green Walk and Exhibition, as part of its activities for World Environment Day, which will be observed today.
This year, the occasion will be celebrated under the theme, ‘Solutions to Plastic Pollution’.

The walk, which was lead by an EPA contingent, started at 06:00 hours at Camp Street and North Road, Georgetown, and ended at the National Park tarmac. Among the participants were employees of several government agencies, and reputable companies, who have all recognised the need for collective responsibility and effort to ensure there is a sustainable, plastic-free future.
Prizes were also up for grabs for the best banner, largest contingent, uniformity, and of course, the best chant.

According to the EPA, the event was more than just a walk and exhibition as it presented an opportunity for like-minded individuals to connect, and to support sustainable businesses at the exhibition, as well as to engage in meaningful conversations.

The EPA, within the past few weeks have held or participated in several activities that are geared at spreading awareness about the environment, and how we can all help to take better care of it.
One such event was a panel discussion which was hosted last Friday by EMC Foundation. Additionally, the EPA hosted an International Day for Biodiversity Art Exhibition at the National Gallery of Art (Castellani House) in Georgetown.
