Celebrated annually on 5th June, World Environment Day, is the United Nations principle program for raising awareness on pressing environmental issues like overpopulation, water, and aquatic pollution, global warming, and wildlife crime. People and organizations come forward to advocate environmental causes and find solutions to tackle these issues.

And brands in India too haven’t been far behind. With many campaigns, they too are taking matters into their hand, in order to make the planet a greener and breathable place to live in. Here’s taking a look at how brands celebrated World Environment Day, this year.
