World Environment Day was crcatcd in 19/2

Environment held in Stockholm.
The chairman of the Keep Australia Beautiful
Council (ACT), Mrs Heather Lcedman, said last
week that issues being raised through World Environ
ment Days, such as providing for human needs without
depleting natural resources and maintaining the en
vironment, gave a chance to groups and individuals
to become involved in their community and environ
ment.

help with ideas and materials to any group wanting
to become involved. For information, phone 731661.
