Reblogged from When Worlds Collide, by Nalaka Gunawardene:
Text of my ‘When Worlds Collide’ column published in Ceylon Today Sunday newspaper on 3 June 2012
World Environment Day is once again being observed on June 5.
It’s 40 years since the first UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm, Sweden, in June 1972, which led to the founding of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). I was too young to remember anything of that event.
