World Environment Day Anthem

An Earth Anthem written by famous poet Abhay K is sung to celebrate World Environment Day.

"Our cosmic oasis, cosmic blue pearl

the most beautiful planet in the universe

all the continents and all the oceans

united we stand as flora and fauna

united we stand as species of one earth

different cultures, beliefs and ways

we are humans, the earth is our home

all the people and the nations of the world

all for one and one for all

united we unfurl the blue marble flag."

The anthem was initially performed in June 2013 at a gathering organised by the Indian Council of Cultural Relations in New Delhi, India, on the occasion of World Environment Day by Kapil Sibal and Shashi Tharoor which were the Union Ministers of India that time.

Habitat For Humanity, a non-profit organisation based in the United States, is a supporter.
