History and Reason to Celebrate Earth Day

Amazing though it is, our world requires our assistance to survive. To safeguard the earth from things like pollution and deforestation, more than a billion people commemorate Earth Day every year on April 22. We contribute to a happier, healthier planet by engaging in actions like litter cleanup and tree planting. 

A US senator from Wisconsin started the first Earth Day event in 1970 as a way to raise awareness of environmental issues. Rallies were held all over the nation, and by the end of the year, the Environmental Protection Agency had been established by the American government. 

Over 140 nations worldwide participated in Earth Day celebrations by the year 1990. Similar worries exist now, but sadly they are considerably messier than the initial oil disaster. For one person, much alone millions or billions of people, it may seem impossible for natural disasters, extreme weather, and rising global temperatures to slow down or stop. 

Coral reefs are reportedly dying, animals on land and in the ocean are depicted with trash in their stomachs or all around them, and major corporations and corporate factories continue to damage the air we breathe and the areas where we live.

What all we can Do On Earth Day

Earth Day is an important occasion for promoting environmental awareness and taking action to protect our planet. Here are some activities you can engage in on April 22:

Reduce, reuse, and recycle waste as much as possible.
