What is Earth Day? What do we celebrate?
Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22 to raise awareness about environmental protection and sustainability. First organized in 1970 in the United States, it marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement. Today, millions of people in over 190 countries take part in activities such as tree planting, clean-up campaigns, educational events, and climate action initiatives. Earth Day highlights urgent issues like climate change, pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. It encourages individuals, communities, governments, and organizations to take responsibility and adopt practices that protect the planet and ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
