Madam Deputy Speaker, I hereby move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 5 June 2010 is World Environment Day;
2) further notes that on 15 December 1972 the United Nations elected to dedicate a day of the international calendar to reflect upon the state of the environment in order to heighten global awareness around this issue in order to inspire world leaders to act collectively to take measures to enhance and preserve our environment;
3) recognises that there are several challenges facing our environment, such as the issue of global warming, green house gas emissions, the depletion of fossil fuel resources and scarce water resources;
4) acknowledges that it is essential that we, as a nation and as part of the global community, must adopt measures to preserve the environment; and
(5) enjoins all South Africans to adopt an eco-friendly attitude in their daily lives and to actively work together to clean up and preserve our environment.
Agreed to.
