Earth Day is celebrated annually on 22 April. It is a day to appreciate the earth and all it does for us. The earth provides us with air to breathe, food to eat, water to drink, and a place to live.
There are many ways we can show our appreciation for the earth. We can pick up litter, plant trees, recycle, reduce our energy consumption, and use less water. These are just a few of the many things we can do to show our planet some love.
It is estimated that every year, humans produce over 300 million tons of plastic. This plastic pollutes our oceans and land, harming marine life and wildlife.
On Earth Day, we reflect on the importance of protecting our planet. Let’s make every day Earth Day. By working together, we can make a positive impact on the planet. Let’s protect our earth for future generations.
