World Earth Day
Earth is a very broad term, It has water, greenery, wildlife, pollution and other factors related to it. To save the earth means to take initiative to protect it. Neither social awareness was ever shown nor any concrete initiative was taken at the political level.
Earth is a miracle, it also includes water, gases, fossil fuel and other things that are necessary for a human being.
To save the earth means to take initiative to protect all of them. But for this, only one day should be made a medium, is it right? We should consider every day as Earth Day and take some measures to protect it.
When the whole world celebrates Earth Day on April 22, in America it is celebrated as Tree Day. Earlier, Earth Day was celebrated two days a year (March 21 and April 22) all over the world. But it is decided to celebrate on 22 April since 1970.
