THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY – WORLD EARTH DAY 2021
Celebrated on April 22nd of every year, World Earth Day is one of the most important days to be remembered as it has a greater impact on the environment and the people as well. Earth day manifests the support for environmental protection which was firstly held on April 22nd, 1970. And the initiation for the day was taken by the United States Senator Gaylord Nelson to inculcate the nationwide environmental teach-in on April 22, 1970. So, he decided to hire a young activist named Denis Hayes and was known to be the National Coordinator later. Both Nelson and Hayes came up with the event later as EARTH DAY. The first Earth Day was focused on the United States and later in 1990, Denis Hayes, the national coordinator took it to the international level, organizing events in more than 100 countries. And that’s how history has its real story.
The EARTH DAY has been bringing people across the world together to protect the environment and make it the better “green-home” to live for every living being. It addresses the global climate crisis, pollution, and deforestation. Since last year (2020) was 50th Earth Day, it never failed to organize events online amidst the serious pandemic situation. However, Anybody could connect to it through the website Earthday.org from anywhere and could join in the events and activities conducted by the organization since the website is both informative and user-friendly. Coming to this year (2021), it marks the 51st EARTH DAY and we gotta go eco-friendly at least by now as we are already in the urge of preserving our environment by discerning that we do not have a planet B to breathe.
