The importance of Earth Day is important because on this day we come to know about the impact of global warming on the environment through environmentalists. Earth Day creates awareness about saving lives and keeping the environment healthy.
World Earth Day 2024: World Earth Day is celebrated every year on 22 April (World Earth Day 2024). Its objective is to make people aware about the protection of the environment. Many types of programs are organized around the world on this day. Earth is a beautiful planet full of natural beauty. There are lush green forests, breathtaking waterfalls, rugged but peaceful mountains and sand. We should try every day to save them. To make this day special, Google has made a doodle.
This day was first celebrated in the United States. This day was first celebrated on 22 April 1970. Peace activist John McConnell first proposed celebrating this special day at the UNESCO conference in 1969 to make people aware about this day.
What is the theme this time?
A special theme is decided to celebrate every special day. This year’s theme was ‘Planet vs. Plastic’. The aim of Planet Versus is to make people aware of single use plastic.
Why is World Earth Day celebrated?
The idea of celebrating this special day first came to the mind of US Senator Gaylord Nelson and Harvard student Dennis Hayes. They were both deeply troubled by the deteriorating climate in the United States and the massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California in January 1969. On this day, millions of people come together to discuss issues that harm the earth like cutting of trees. On this occasion, many types of programs are also organized all over the world. The purpose of celebrating Earth Day is to make people aware of the importance of the Earth. Besides, what steps are taken to keep it green and beautiful is also discussed.
Anything special for you?
You can make a special contribution to the conservation of the earth.
Plant as many trees as possible – We see that in today’s time, due to increasing population, trees are being cut every day. Besides, the problem of global warming is also increasing. Therefore, it is important that you plant as many trees as possible in your life and make people more and more aware about it.
Pay more attention to energy conservation.
If possible, keep most of the lights in your house off during the day. If sunlight comes in your room or office then it would be better if you do this. Turn off lights and electronics when not needed.
Minimize water use?
Many people have the habit of wasting too much water. But we should understand that there is sufficient amount of water present on our earth. If we do not use it properly then we may have to face a lot of problems in future. Keep the tap closed when not in use. Do not waste water unnecessarily while bathing. If there is a leak somewhere in the house, get it repaired immediately.
Can you start a garden on the balcony or terrace of your house?
In today’s time, you will get to see fruits and vegetables on the rooftops and balconies of many houses. If possible, try to make compost at home.
Summary.
The situation is that that waste has started getting into our food and drinks in the form of harmful elements. We are facing a major health crisis due to pollution of water, air and land. More than 99 percent of the world’s population is forced to breathe unsafe air. This list of problems is endless, but they can be solved with the personal participation of governments, industries, various institutions as well as yours and ours. We can reduce our dependence on plastic and fossil fuels. We can contribute by eating coarse grains and planting trees. We need to remain alert and active.
