Emine Erdoğan, the wife of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, issued a message on June 5, World Environment Day. Emphasizing the importance of Zero Waste, Emine Erdoğan stated, "I wholeheartedly believe that every life changed by love for nature will be a vital part of the solution."

Emine Erdoğan's message for World Environment Day and Turkey's Environment Week is as follows:

"Water, soil, air, and all living beings have only one thing to convey to humanity: Do not consume, do not destroy nature, sustain it!

First and foremost, we need to sustain life by nurturing what sustains us. We must re-establish a balanced, measured, and harmonious relationship with nature, our source of healing.

At this point, we still have the opportunity to leave a livable world for future generations by spreading the transformation initiated by the Zero Waste and Zero Waste Blue movements.

As long as we act with the awareness that we are the last generation that can reverse climate change, which will not spare any country or person.

I wholeheartedly believe that every life changed by love for nature will be a vital part of the solution.

On this occasion, I congratulate you on June 5, World Environment Day, and the second Environment Week we are celebrating this year."
