Today is the day that reminds us about the promises that
all of us have made to protect the environment and the life on the earth. This
day is called as the earth day and every year it is celebrated on the 22nd
April. It was started in the year 1970 and gradually celebrated globally in
more than 193 countries with the help of earth day networks. The first
celebration was held in the United States of America after the oil spill
incident. This day was marked as the beginning of the modern environmental
movement.
The earth day also allows us to appreciate the natural
wonders of our unique and incredible planet and encourages us to take
significant steps to save plants, animals and the environment. On this day,
several national and international activities are conducted worldwide so as to take
effective measures to save the planet and to protect the nature.
Most countries conduct various activities to spread the
awareness of environment protection. Planting trees, saving the amount of
energy consumption, recycling plastics and volunteering for green projects are
some of the important events that are conducted every year in different
countries.
In order to raise the awareness about the environment issue
like global warming, several communities, which are associated with EDN (Earth
Day Network), persuade people to buy green products. They also encourage people
for various activities like planting more and more trees and plants, cleaning
parks and roads, removing garbage, etc.
Today is the 46 annual earth day. It is also a significant
day as the world leaders are meeting at the United Nations to sign the Paris
Climate Agreement. The Paris Climate Deal will be signed by the US, China and
160 other countries so as to stem global warming. With this agreement, we will
be able to keep our environment clean and protect our planet.
