World Earth Day is celebrated across the world on April 22 every year.
About World Earth Day:
It is an annual event celebrated on April 22 to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote global efforts to protect the Earth's natural resources.
History:
The first World Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, in the United States.
It was organized by a group of environmental activists led by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, who was concerned about the negative impact of industrialization and pollution on the environment.
Since then, it has become a global movement that encourages individuals and communities to take action towards protecting our planet.
The Earth Day 2023 theme: " Invest In Our Planet", is a continuation of the 2022 theme.
What is Earth Hour?
It is a global grassroots movement uniting people to take action on environmental issues and protect the planet.
It is organized by World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
It was started by WWF and partners as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney in 2007.
It takes place on the last Saturday of March every year.
“Earth Hour” encourages people to switch off all lights for an hour, from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time to promote awareness of climate change challenges and energy conservation.
This symbolic act, known as the ‘lights off’ moment, unites people worldwide in a show of support for the planet and serves as a reminder of the environmental issues facing us.
