Every year on April 22nd, International Earth Day is celebrated. It marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Earth Day encourages people to think about the impact of humans on this planet and to work together towards solutions benefiting local communities and the world as a whole.
Extreme heat, wildfires, and floods have affected millions of people. Climate change, man-made intentional disruptions to natural cycles, and crimes that threaten biodiversity, such as deforestation, intensified agriculture and livestock production, or the growing illegal wildlife trade, accelerate the speed of destruction of the planet.
Since Mother Earth is suffering incessantly due to unchecked human activities, she is clearly urging a call to action. Protecting our beloved planet begins with you. Here are listed some simple things you can do to help protect the Earth.
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle
- Volunteer for cleanups in your community
- Conserve water
- Choose sustainable products to use on a daily basis
- Plant a tree.
Earth Day is a global event, designed to raise awareness of the threat to the environment and the solution: through education and dialogue between people, businesses, and governments.
Lets us have a glance through some quotes which illustrate the beauty and importance of nature.
