June marks the halfway point of the calendar year. As a marketer or branding agency, you must utilize every opportunity to promote your brand and offerings. Having a monthly content calendar allows you to plan your content in an organized and disciplined manner.

For instance, Amazon offers the ‘Monsoon Sale’ or ‘Monsoon Carnival’ in June every year. These events allow customers to grab exciting deals and offers by shopping on their e-commerce portal.

Clearing land and cutting down forests can also release carbon dioxide. Agriculture, oil, and gas operations are major sources of methane emissions.
