World Environment Day, commemorated worldwide on the 5th of June, was established by the UN to specifically advance its own environmental efforts. “Beat Plastic Pollution”, is the theme for World Environment Day 2018, and is a call to action for all of us to come together to combat one of the great environmental challenges of our time. Joining us to discuss how we can commemorate the day in our own little ways is Andrew Sebastian, the co-Founder & CEO of the Ecotourism & Conservation Society Malaysia (ECOMY).
