Earth Day 2014

Earth Day is a day of educating the public in promoting a healthy, clean earth. Let’s take some time to promote a healthy, clean earth.  This day has become one of the largest outdoor events in recent years, with about one billion people joining in the activities in thousands of different locations around the world. It is important to create awareness on how to save the earth from damage by pollution. It is up to us to make the earth a safer and healthier place for future generations. People’s everyday actions are related to pollution, which is destroying the environment and impacting human life. Earth Day has been observed on 22nd April every year as an annual event celebrated around the world for the past four decades. Earth Day Network launched the Green Cities campaign to help cities around the world become more sustainable. The purpose of Earth Day is to honour, appreciate, protect, and respect the environment. The first Earth Day was held in 1970 in the United States, and drew over 20 million Americans from different communities and college campuses to become involved with environmental issues. This Day also allows citizens to create awareness of the environment and to learn how people’s everyday decisions affect the environment. Pollution consists of anything that causes insecurity, chaos, harm or worry to bodies of living organisms. Pollution comes in different forms; it can be: air, noise, water, land, or chemical pollution, as well as many more. Air pollution affects human life through breathing, while water pollution has its own effects on marine life. Land pollution affects the land, destroying life and the environment, even noise also affects hearing. Individuals can start planting trees, garden beds and flowers by creating a green environment for generations to come.
