Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22 to promote environmental awareness and sustainability. It serves as a global reminder to take action against climate change, pollution, and deforestation.
The first Earth Day was observed in 1970, initiated by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson. It was a response to rising pollution, oil spills, and industrial waste. Over 20 million Americans participated in the first event, leading to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the introduction of key environmental laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.
By 1990, Earth Day had gone global, with over 200 million people in 141 countries joining efforts to protect the environment. Today, it is recognized by over 1 billion people worldwide.
Earth Day raises awareness about critical environmental challenges, including:
🌱 Plant Trees – Help combat deforestation.
🚲 Use Sustainable Transport – Walk, bike, or use public transport.
♻️ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Minimize waste and opt for eco-friendly products.
💡 Save Energy – Switch to LED lights and reduce electricity consumption.
🗣️ Spread Awareness – Educate others about environmental protection.
As climate issues grow more urgent, Earth Day 2025 encourages individuals, governments, and businesses to commit to sustainable practices. Every action counts in preserving our planet for future generations.
