Daily Holidays - June 5

World Environment Day Environment Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of respecting and doing your bit for the environment. Why not walk to work rather than driving, or take steps to reduce your carbon footprint in other ways? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/environment-day/

Sausage Roll Day There’s a treat that we poor colonists have rarely ever enjoyed, it’s a delicious meat-filled pastry that is flaky, flavorful, and all around amazing. If you’ve never had these savory filled puff pastries it is far past time to add them to your menu, and Sausage Roll Day is the day to do it! Each year we celebrate this amazing little pastry and the country it came from, and this year so can you! Just delve right in and read up on where it came from, when it’s used, and how America has been missing out on this best of all treats… until now! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/sausage-roll-day/

Hot Air Balloon Day The hot air balloon is the oldest form of flight technology used for carrying humans, following the first manned flight in 1783. The balloon itself consists of an envelope, which is used to contain the hot air, and a gondola, where passengers and a means of creating hot air are typically housed. The heated air inside the envelope has a lower density than that of the cold air outside, and this causes the balloon to rise. Hot Air Balloon Day is an annual celebration that marks the impact hot air balloons have had on travel and leisure. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/hot-air-balloon-day/

Cancer Survivor Day This day is an annual celebration of Life. This is to raise awareness of Cancer Survivors – In the U.S. alone there are over 11 million survivors, and to raise funds for Cancer Research Charities. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cancer-survivors-day/

Many hugs for other survivors and their families, as well as the families of those who have lost loved ones to cancer.
