How To Make A Positive Impact On Earth Day And Beyond

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year to raise awareness about blazing environmental issues. The purpose of this annual event is to promote conservation efforts. The first Earth Day was celebrated in the year 1970, and since then has become a global movement.

The objective of Earth Day is to educate people about environmental issues such as pollution, climate change, deforestation, and wildlife extinction, and to motivate individuals and organizations to take action to protect the planet. International Earth Day is actively celebrated in more than 190 countries with events and activities such as planting trees, cleaning up litter, reducing energy consumption, promoting garbage recycling and reuse, and advocating for policy changes. It is an opportunity for people, institutions, and governments to come together to create a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
