Every year, Earth Day is observed on April 22 to raise awareness about saving the planet and how our actions add to climate change and global warming. It is also called International Mother Earth Day.
Deforestation, land sliding, soil erosion, water pollution, air pollution, land pollution, noise pollution, etc. have been contributing to the degradation of the environment and melting of glaciers. Earth Day is all about saving this planet for ourselves as well as for future generations.
The first time Earth Day was ever celebrated was on April 22, 1970. It was organised by Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator from Wisconsin. In 1969, there was an oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, which inspired him to take this action and make people aware of their actions causing damage to the environment.
The theme of Earth Day 2023 is ‘Invest In Our Planet.’ It is to inspire people to invest in the environment, for example, clean sources of energy. We have to take action to reverse the climate crisis or the day is not far when half of the earth will be submerged under water, while the other half would be struggling for a drop to drink.
