Every year 22 April is celebrated as International Mother Earth Day. It
is an environmental acknowledgement event that is celebrated worldwide.
It marks anniversary of Environmental Movement of 1970. This day is
tribute to Mother Earth for providing its inhabitants with life and
sustenance through its incredible biodiversity. The day calls for
collective responsibility to promote harmony between Earth and nature to
achieve balance among social, economic and environmental needs of
present and future generations. We all share the same planet, so it's
our duty to protect it.
Environmental Issues
Our atmosphere is much more than what it looks like. There are
differentlayers present in Earth's atmosphere, and among them is Ozone
Layer. This layer is made up of specialized oxygen particles known as
ozone (O3) and is a part of second major layer - Stratosphere. Ozone
layer protects us from harmful ultra violet radiations of sun. Excessive
use of insecticides releasing methyl bromide, and release of chemicals
such as methyl chloride & ammonia from refrigerants, and
chlorofluorocarbons into atmosphere are resulting in depletion of this
layer.
Simple Ways to Celebrate Earth Day Every Day
