Every year on April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about environmental issues and encouraging people to take care of the planet. The event began in 1970 and has since grown into a global movement involving more than a billion participants.
Many schools and communities mark the day by organizing activities such as planting trees, picking up litter, and learning about recycling and conservation. Environmental groups like EarthDay.org also promote campaigns that encourage people to reduce waste and protect natural resources.
Earth Day reminds individuals that even small actions, such as using less plastic or conserving energy, can help protect the environment for future generations.
