The United Nations, aware that the protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue, which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world, designated 5 June as World Environment Day.
The celebration of this day provides us with an opportunity to broaden the basis for an enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises and communities in preserving and enhancing the environment.
Since it began in 1974, it has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in more than 100 countries.
A United Nations report says about 24 percent of global green house gas emissions comes from agriculture, forestry and land use.
But two predominant sources of air pollution are caused by livestock and agricultural waste . These toxic wastes produce methane, a potent global warming gas which can result in several respiratory disorders.
