April 22 is World Earth Day, an annual celebration. It falls on a Monday this year. World Earth Day 2024 will have Planet vs. Plastics as its theme. The theme seeks to raise awareness of the grave problem of plastic pollution and its detrimental effects on the environment. In order to promote planetary health on Earth Day 2024, EARTHDAY.ORG calls for a 60% decrease in plastic production by 2040.

Earth Day's inception dates back to 1970. Senator Gaylord Nelson of the United States and Harvard student Denis Hayes came up with the concept for the event. Both the massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California in January 1969 and the United States' declining environmental conditions deeply troubled them. He was deeply troubled by the effects on the environment and wished to channel the vigour of student demonstrations into the growing public awareness of air and water pollution. In order to organise the campus teach-ins and spread awareness of environmental conservation, he enlisted the help of young activist Denis Hayes. In an effort to boost student involvement, they selected April 22 as the weekday in between Spring Break and Final Examinations. Its quick success was demonstrateda by a enormous turnout in the US, with 20 million participants.

History of Earth Day

Although our planet is a wonderful place, it needs our assistance to survive! For this reason, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day on April 22 every year in an effort to shield the planet from environmental threats like pollution and deforestation. We can contribute to a happier and healthier world by engaging in actions like litter pickup and tree planting.

When a Wisconsin senator organised a nationwide protest to draw attention to environmental issues, the first Earth Day was observed in 1970. Nationwide demonstrations were held, and by year's end, the Environmental Protection Agency was established by the US government. Earth Day was observed in more than 140 countries worldwide by 1990.

It is possible to honour the environment and celebrate simultaneously. View these Earth Day suggestions at any time of year to contribute to environmental conservation.
