Back in 1969, it was proposed that a day would be fixed to honor the Earth and to celebrate the concept of peace, at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco.<\/p>\n
Later in 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, and since then, over 1 billion people spreading across 193 countries participate each year in civic activities and work towards raising awareness about critical issues that the Earth is facing.<\/p>\n
This year, the theme of ‘Earth Day’ is to ‘Restore Our Earth’ and the prime focus is on natural processes, emerging green technologies, and innovative thinking that can restore the world\u2019s ecosystems.<\/p>\n
As the world is still fighting with a pandemic, it is important that we simultaneously focus on climate literacy, making the leaders of tomorrow aware of the rising issues and finding solutions to the problems that can cause harm not only to the planet but to all living beings as well.<\/p>\n
