Each year on 22 April, billions of people across the globe join to raise awareness about environmental protection.
Fifty years ago, the first Earth Day started an environmental revolution. Now, Earth Day has turned into an education revolution to save the planet.
The Earth Day 2022 theme is “Invest In Our Planet.” The theme is focused on engaging the more than one billion people, governments, institutions, and businesses who participate in Earth Day to recognise their collective responsibility and to help accelerate the transition to an equitable, prosperous green economy for all.
It’s time to take the benefit of a green economy by adopting it. All governments need to encourage society, institutions, and businesses to build a framework for supporting a stable future.
Climate change represents the biggest challenge to the future of humanity and the life-support systems that make the world habitable. The Earth and its ecosystems are our home. To achieve a balance among the economic, social, and environmental needs of present and future generations, it is necessary to promote harmony with nature and the Earth.
Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, our livelihoods. Invest In Our Planet.
Actions to make a difference, every day of the year:
• Be part of the change. Change your diet to fight climate change. Try plant-based recipes.
• Reduce meat consumption to curb carbon emissions from the livestock industry.
• Consumer demand for renewable energy sources is one of the most immediate actions to lower carbon footprint and restore the earth.
• Stop deforestation by supporting companies that take an active role against it.
• Calculate personal carbon footprint and make changes to reduce it.
• Use environmentally friendly, non-toxic cleaning products to avoid washing toxic chemicals down the drain.
• Individual and small group clean-ups can have a major positive impact on the community.
• Save electricity and turn off lights when leaving the room.
• Integrate a simple act of green into your daily routine. Take a shorter shower and use a water-saving shower head.
• Practice sustainable fashion. Donate old clothes and home goods instead of throwing them out.
We need to act, innovate, and implement. Businesses, governments, and citizens in partnership for the planet.
