April 22

Earth Day, first held in 1970 in the United States, has grown into a global movement dedicated to preserving the planet. Officially recognized by the United Nations as International Mother Earth Day in 2009, it mobilizes millions worldwide through tree plantings, cleanups, and sustainability campaigns. The day emphasizes the importance of biodiversity, climate action, and responsible resource use. Governments, NGOs, schools, and businesses organize events to educate communities and inspire policy changes. Earth Day has become a focal point for collective efforts to address environmental challenges and advocate for a healthier world.
