This knol was started on World Environment Day. All the news papers that I glanced across on that day in the morning had news items related to Environment. Some time back, Mr. Andreas Kemper, one of knol co-authors informed us about World Social Justice Day. The days declared as world days or international days by United Nations or its constituent bodies are available on its web site. They are given below. Visitors can give any detail as a comment.
