Bathtub Party Day Most people today don't have time for a leisurely bath. We barely have time for a quick shower! Well December 5th is different. "Bathtub Party Day" is a time to immerse yourself in a long leisurely bath. Invite a few friends over and make a party out of it! http://www.imgag.com/product/full/ap/3032657/

Columbian International Day of The Reef The Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development is the national executive ministry of the Government of Colombia in charge of formulating, implementing, and orienting environmental polices to ensure the sustainable development of the country. It is the lead institution of the National Environmental System, which is composed of 33 regional autonomous and seven large city enviromental authorities (responsible for the execution of the environmental policies at the regional and local level), the National Environmental Licensing Authority, the National Natural Parks System, and five research institutes (one with coastal and marine emphasis).

The only South American Country with both Pacific and Caribbean Coasts, Colombia has a total coastline of approximately 3,000km and an extensive marine area totaling 928,660km2. These marine and coastal areas host a diverse range of ecoystems including coral reefs, mangroves, beaches, seagrass beds, wetlands, seamounts, and other oceanic features. In 2011, Colombia’s National Development Plan (Law 1450/2011) established a legal framework for the conservation of marine ecosystems. In specific, Article 207 of the National Development Plan calls for the conservation of coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass ecosystems by establishing a prohibition for mining, oil exploration and exploitaion, as well as other activities on coral reefs and mangroves and calls for the development of integrated coastal zone management plans by the regional environmental authorities. In charge of leading these marine and coastal conservation initiatives is the directorate of Marine, Coastal and Aquatic Resources of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and the coastal regional autonomous environmental authorities, which have marine jurisdiction. http://www.icriforum.org/about-icri/members-networks/colombia

Faux Fur Friday


International Ninja Day If you’ve ever fancied sneaking up on friends, colleagues or strangers while wearing a dark mask, then Friday is the day to do it.
Wannabe warriors across the globe will celebrate the Day of the Ninja by dressing up like a silent assassin.
The annual event, also known as International Ninja Day, is held each year on December 5.
The phenomenon was started in 2003 by parody website Ninja Burger, which also launched a role-playing video game.

International Volunteer Day for Economic & Social Development The International Volunteer Day (IVD) mandated by the UN General Assembly, is held each year on 5 December. It is viewed as a unique chance for volunteers and organizations to celebrate their efforts, to share their values, and to promote their work among their communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), United Nations agencies, government authorities and the private sector.

Apart from mobilising thousands of volunteers every year, the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development by advocating for the recognition of volunteers and working with partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming. Through the Online Volunteering service, volunteers can take action for sustainable human development by supporting the activities of development organizations over the Internet. Every day thousands of people are volunteering, online or on-site, contributing to peace and development, working to achieve the MDGs and engaging people to shape the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. http://www.un.org/en/events/volunteerday/
