On April 22, Earth day will be celebrated by over a billion people all over the planet.
Earth day is not just a celebration of the planet, but a day for educating citizens all over the world about the status of our planet.
“We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection,” Earthday.org said.
According to U.S. News “Earth Day is credited with starting the environmental movement in the United States, and went global in 1990 with 200 million participants in more than 140 countries, according to the Earth Day Network. It is now celebrated internationally by more than 192 countries.”
Earth Day is intended to raise awareness about the environmental changes faced around the world.
According to the U.N. the theme for 2017 is “Environmental & Climate Literacy” that is intended for education to inspire action.
