Earth Day is Here!

Earth Day, which originated in 1970 in the United States, has grown into one of the largest global events. On April 22, 2024, marking its 54th anniversary, it arrives at a time of rising temperatures and unprecedented pollution levels. Millions worldwide participate in movements and commit to improving the planet's climate. Founded by US Senator Gaylord Nelson and Harvard graduate student Denis Hayes, Earth Day aims to raise awareness about protecting natural resources for future generations.

This year's theme, "Planet vs Plastics," highlights the dangers of plastic pollution, coinciding with a forthcoming UN treaty on plastics expected by the end of 2024. Despite daunting challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss, Earth Day also symbolizes unity and hope.
