Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and a brighter future. The roots of Earth Day trace back to April 22, 1970, when millions of people across the United States took to the streets to protest against environmental degradation and advocate for a more sustainable future. Since then, earthday.org has been mobilising over 1 billion people annually on Earth Day, and every other day, to protect the planet. As we mark Earth Day 2024, the theme 'Planet vs. Plastics' highlights one of today's most urgent environmental challenges: plastic pollution. This issue threatens marine life, ecosystems, and human health, with millions of tons of plastic waste entering our oceans annually. To learn more, visit earthday.org.

Today is World Environment Day! Did you know that: 1. Every year, 13 million hectares of forest are lost, equivalent to the size of Panama? 2. 8 million tons of plastic waste enter our oceans, harming marine life? 3. 1 million animal and plant species are facing extinction due to human activities? But there's hope! 1. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are becoming more accessible and affordable. 2. Sustainable practices like recycling, reducing waste, and using eco-friendly products are gaining popularity. 3. Governments and organizations are working together to protect and restore natural habitats. What can we do? Reduce your carbon footprint by using public transport, carpooling, or driving electric. Use reusable bags, water bottles, and straws. Support organizations working towards environmental conservation. Educate yourself and others about environmental issues and solutions. Let's work together to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for all! #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #ReduceReuseRecycle #ProtectOurPlanet"
