Slovenia 2016 Stamps – Europa CEPT / Think Green – Environment MNH**
Europa CEPT (Europa Stamps) is an initiative by the European postal administrations to issue stamps on a common theme, promoting unity and cooperation across Europe. Each year, member countries of the Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) release stamps adhering to a specific theme chosen by the member states.
The theme “Think Green” refers to environmental conservation and sustainability. It encourages individuals and communities to consider the impact of their actions on the environment and to promote eco-friendly practices.
Stamps issued under the “Think Green” theme may depict various aspects of environmental protection, such as:
- Conservation of natural habitats and biodiversity
- Promotion of renewable energy sources
- Recycling and waste management
- Sustainable transportation and eco-friendly commuting
- Protection of endangered species
- Reforestation and afforestation efforts
- Water conservation and management
These stamps serve not only as a means of postage but also as a platform for raising awareness about environmental issues and promoting positive environmental actions. They can be collected by philatelists and used as educational tools to spark discussions about sustainability and the importance of protecting the planet for future generations.
Overall, the “Think Green” theme reflects a collective effort by European countries to address environmental challenges and promote a greener, more sustainable future for all.
