The original date of the day is June 5 which fell during the Eid-ul-Azha holidays. That is why, official the environment day will be observed tomorrow in Bangladesh.
In the message the chief adviser said the World Environment Day is being celebrated in Bangladesh like other countries of the world to increase public awareness on environmental protection.
This year's theme of World Environment Day set by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) - 'Ending Plastic Pollution', which meant 'No more plastic pollution', is very significant, he said.
Yunus said the use of plastic products has increased vastly in the past few decades.
The versatile and uncontrolled use of plastic products, especially the excessive production, indiscriminate use and mismanagement of single-use plastic, is causing terrible damage to the environment, he said.
Strict control of plastic pollution has become essential to ensure the protection of our environment and ecology.
The chief adviser said his government has taken various steps to control plastic pollution to protect the environment and public health.
