Earth Day is an annual event marked on April 22, which celebrates the planet’s environment and raises awareness around the world by people, organizations, and governments that acknowledge how important protecting the planet is and commit to creating a more sustainable future. Earth Day is an important day for people to take time out of their busy lives and consider the impact that humanity has on the environment and for taking necessary steps to minimize the impact.

Earth Day is a time to reflect and be thankful for everything the Earth does for us. It is also a time to strengthen our relationship with nature, to give back, and to think of ways we can work to better support the Earth for future generations

There is a perfect saying: “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children”

In addition, here are a few things that everyone should stick to in their daily lives:

Recycle and separate waste, especially when we all know that plastic is very harmful to nature.

Buy fewer products in plastic packaging and more in paper, glass or any other biodegradable material.

Save water – Close the tap while brushing the teeth or cleaning the utensils or in times when it’s not required.

Save electricity by turning off the devices that are not in use and the light in the rooms when you leave. Do not pick flowers rather let them grow and enjoy watching them from a distance.

There are a variety of event types to make the celebration enjoyable and memorable.
