What Is Earth Day?
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22nd to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first observed in 1970 and has since grown to become a worldwide movement that aims to raise awareness about the importance of taking care of our planet. The day serves as a reminder of the need to preserve the earth’s resources for future generations.
Earth Day events are held all over the world and include activities such as tree planting, litter cleanups, and environmental education programs. It’s a time for people to come together and take action to protect the environment and an opportunity for governments, organizations, and individuals to make commitments to sustainability.
Earth Day encourages everyone to take small steps in their daily lives to reduce their environmental impact.
