Celebrating World Earth Day 2024: Preserving Biodiversity and Promoting Environmental Sustainability

World Earth Day, observed on April 22, serves as a reminder of the duty we all have to safeguard our planet’s health. This year, Google Doodle featured aerial photographs of natural landscapes and rich biodiversity to highlight the importance of preserving these wonders for future generations.

The history of Earth Day dates back to the late 1960s, when environmental issues started gaining public attention. The concept of Earth Day was proposed by peace activist John McConnell and officially recognized in the United States in 1972. Since then, it has been celebrated every year on April 22.

The theme for World Earth Day 2024 is “Planet vs. Plastics,” focusing on the issue of plastic pollution. Millions of tons of plastic waste end up in oceans and landfills every year, posing health and environmental hazards.

In a time of growing environmental concerns and climate change, World Earth Day has become more important than ever. It serves as a platform to raise awareness about environmental issues and motivate people to take action. It reminds us that we all share a responsibility for the health of the planet and must work together to protect it.
