Earth Day 2022 #InvestInOurPlanet

Image
Earth Day , celebrated annually on April 22 , is a reminder to protect the environment, restore damaged ecosystems and live a more sustainable life. The event was first celebrated in 1970, making this year the 52nd anniversary of annual celebrations. Earth Day was first observed in the United States, when some 20 million people took to the streets to protest against the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill. Since then, the occasion has played an important role in raising awareness on other environmental issues. This year, earthday.org has selected the theme, ‘ Invest In Our Planet ’. It explains, “This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, our livelihoods… together, we must ‘Invest In Our Planet’.” Today, Google's annual Earth Day Doodle addresses one of the most pressing topics of our time: climate change .
