International Plastic Bag Free Day

International Plastic Bag Free Day is observed on July 3 every year to encourage people to stop using single-use plastic to eliminate plastic pollution.

Bangladesh was the first country in the world to ban plastic bags entirely in 2022. Soon after, many more countries, including India, also banned single-use plastic.

World UFO Day

World UFO Day is observed every year on July 2. The day aims to bring together people who love learning about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), and also to raise awareness about these aerial objects.
Earlier, World UFO Day was observed on two different dates — July 2 and June 24. In order to eliminate any confusion, the World UFO Day Organization (WUFODO) declared July 2 as the official World UFO Day. Since there is just one official date for the celebration of World UFO Day, large numbers of people are able to celebrate it in a single day, instead of small groups observing it on two different dates.
World UFO Day is also known as Flying Saucer Day. The day is dedicated to the existence of UFOs. World UFO Day was celebrated for the first time in 2001 by UFO researcher Haktan Akdogan.
