Embassy of Canada to Guatemala

🌍💚 World Environment Day 💚🌍
This week we celebrate our planet, our shared home 🌱. Every action counts, no matter how small: reduce, reuse, recycle, protect water 💧, preserve biodiversity 🦋, and choose more sustainable paths in our daily lives.

The future of the environment is in our hands 🤲. It’s not just about one day, but about a daily commitment to building a cleaner, fairer, and more balanced world for present and future generations.

🌿 Let’s act today for a better tomorrow.
Because caring for the Earth means caring for ourselves.

Make sure your passport is valid well beyond your return date in case you need to extend your stay unexpectedly.
