We call her our Home because there’s no other place we can live on. EARTH DAY 2023
For the past 50 years, billions of people throughout the world have celebrated Earth Day on April 22 to raise awareness about the health of our environment. Why should we keep celebrating this day? Some may see it as just another holiday or an excuse to wear green and a flower crown, but with serious concerns about our changing environment being studied and addressed today by prominent scientists, politicians, and young climate change activists alike, some people are adapting to more environmentally friendly ways of life every day, not just on April 22 every year. To conserve the turtles, start composting, recycling, reusing, carpooling, thrifting, and using metal straws.
Increasing natural disasters, severe weather, and rising global temperatures may appear unachievable for one person, let alone millions or billions. A small step, such as cleaning up trash on sidewalks that would otherwise end up around the neck of an animal or in the water, still makes an impact—it’s a step in the right direction and a significant difference.
EARTH DAY ACTIVITIES:
- Reduce your carbon footprint: Instead of driving, carpool with friends, use public transportation, walk, skate, scooter, or ride a bike to your destination.
- Reuse, and recycle your wardrobe: Though it may appear unimportant in the larger scheme of things, your wardrobe and shopping habits can truly harm the environment.
- Switch up your diet: According to the BBC, if the entire globe went vegetarian and stopped eating red meat by 2050, food-related emissions would be reduced by around 60%. Instead, being vegan would reduce emissions by almost 70%.
