Earth Day

5. When is Earth Day celebrated? In paying homage to Mother Earth, how do we preserve the sanctity of Earth against pollution and destruction?


Earth Day is celebrated on the 22nd of April every year. Earth Day gave voice to an emerging consciousness, channeling human energy toward environmental issues. It was first celebrated on the 1970 and is celebrated by 192 countries around the world. 

The world has been suffering from global warming for a long time now. Global warming happens due to the neglect of people around the world. Therefore, Earth Day is celebrated to bring awareness to the people around the world to protect the environment.

In paying homage to Mother Earth, we can preserve the sanctity of Earth against pollution and destruction by enforcing a stricter law. The laws that are enforced by the people in charge should be followed. We should also not waste paper and throw our unwanted trash where ever we please. We can save paper by keeping documents in electronic form and by not printing emails. We must also plant more trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This helps us reduce global warming. Lastly, we should use public transport or car pool more often. We can share our cars to go to the office or a scheduled event along with a friend. On one hand, this will help us save money and it will also reduce the emission of unwanted gases in the air.
