Know everything about why we celebrate Earth Day

Posted On: 2022-04-22 23:55:37

When Earth Day was first observed in 1970, people all over the world became more conscious of the environmental damage that humans have caused and continue to create. As per People magazine, Earth Day grew into a global celebration, bringing together 200 million people to promote environmental conservation and recycling.

 

 

It's hard to believe now, but the first Earth Day was a revelation to many, serving as a way not only to raise awareness about environmental issues, but also to bring together disparate groups fighting issues such as oil spills, pollution from factories, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, the loss of wilderness, air pollution, and more.

 

Earth Day's continuous efforts to fight for the environment and promote green projects like renewable energy are more important than ever, especially as the impacts of climate change become a growing worldwide concern. Read our blog on climate change to understand the changes happening on our planet.

It's easy to feel helpless in the face of climate change as if the problem is too huge to tackle. But we already know the solutions; now it is just a matter of putting them into action. We require a transition that is led by communities and the frontline institutions and organizations that serve and comprehend them.

We know these pioneers have the talents and resources necessary to move things ahead. It's happened before. However, true success will require the help of determined investors and funders, as well as knowledgeable policymakers and support charities and NGOs.

 

 

Every small move toward climate action will result in significant improvements and will benefit our environment.  We invite you to be a part of Earth Day and help write many more chapters—struggles and victories—into the Earth Daybook.

 

“Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work. The lesson one learns from yachting or planting is the manners of Nature; patience with the delays of wind and sun, delays of the seasons, bad weather, excess or lack of water.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
