HISTORY OF ‘EARTH DAY’

 Our planet is an amazing place, but it needs our help to thrive! That’s why each year on April 22,
more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet from things like pollution and 
deforestation. By taking part in activities like picking up litter and planting trees, we’re making our
world a happier, healthier place to live.

The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when a United States senator from Wisconsin organized a
national demonstration to raise awareness about environmental issues. Rallies took place across the
country and, by the end of the year, the U.S. government had created the Environmental Protection
Agency. By 1990, Earth Day was an event celebrated by more than 140 countries around the globe .
HOW CAN WE SAVE THE PLANET

 Ten Simple Things You Can Do to Help Protect the Earth


• Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources
and landfill space.
• Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
• Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural
resources.
• Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
• Choose sustainable. Learn how to make smart seafood choices at.
• Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
• Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off
when you leave the room!
• Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
• Don't send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
• Bike more. Drive less.
IMPORTANCE OF SAVING MOTHER EARTH
 It’s the only place to live
 We all are aware of the fact that this is the only planet where life is possible. It is the only home we all have and that is why it is
highly important to take important measures to save this planet. It is time to part our ways from planet harming activities as for all
generation to live a healthier life, it is important to save our planet.
 Biodiversity
 One of the basic things that plays essential role in survival of all sorts of living beings is biodiversity. Because of biodiversity of our
planet, we all are able to co-exist together. All variety of plants and animals are able to exist together to due to diversity of life.
Negative human forces can disrupt the biodiversity which can result in loss of biodiversity. So, we need to take ample steps to
prevent the damage to biodiversity.
 It gives us food & water
 Saving our earth and its environment becomes highly important as it provide us food and water to sustain life. Our well-being solely
depends on this planet it gives food and water to all living things to it is our responsibility to take care of it.
 The only way to honor our mother earth is by raising awareness about our environment and mother earth. By creating balance in our
lives and adopting eco-friendly habits, we can make this planet a much better place to live in.
 Final Thoughts
 People around the world should understand the need of a greener & cleaner planet. We all need to fulfill our responsibilities & make
ample efforts to protect our mother earth from planet harming activities.
POLLUTION

 Plastic trash isn’t the Earth’s only pollution problem. Oil accidentally spilling into the sea,
agriculture products like fertilizers and pesticides seeping into the soil, and even excess noise and 
light can pollute the environment.
 Pollution is a global problem. Although urban areas are usually more polluted than the
countryside, pollution can spread to remote places where no people live. For example, pesticides
and other chemicals have been found in the Antarctic ice sheet. In the middle of the northern
Pacific Ocean, a huge collection of microscopic plastic particles forms what is known as
the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Air and water currents carry pollution. Ocean currents and migrating fish carry marine pollutants
far and wide. Winds can pick up radioactive material accidentally released from a nuclear reactor
and scatter it around the world. Smoke from a factory in one country drifts into another country.
 Air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution are three major forms of environmental pollution. Pollution
can also refer to excessive human activity, such as light and noise pollution, or to specific pollutants such as 
plastic or radioactive material.
AIR POLLUTION

 Air pollution is the contamination of air due to the presence of substances in the
atmosphere that are harmful to the health of humans and other living beings, or cause
damage to the climate or to materials. It is also the contamination of indoor or outdoor
surrounding either by chemical activities, physical or biological agents that alters the
natural features of the atmosphere. There are many different types of air pollutants, such
as gases (including ammonia, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane,
carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons), particulates (both organic and inorganic), and
biological molecules. Air pollution can cause diseases, allergies, and even death to
humans; it can also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops,
and may damage the natural environment (for example, climate change, ozone depletion
or habitat degradation) or built environment (for example, acid rain). Air pollution can be
caused by both human activities and natural phenomena.
PLASTIC POLLUTION

 Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and 
microbeads) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects humans, wildlife and their habitat.Plastics
that act as pollutants are categorized by size into micro-, meso-, or macro debris, Plastics are
inexpensive and durable, making them very adaptable for different uses; as a result, manufacturers
choose to use plastic over other materials. However, the chemical structure of most plastics renders
them resistant to many natural processes of degradation and as a result they are slow to
degrade. Together, these two factors allow large volumes of plastic to enter the environment as
mismanaged waste and for it to persist in the ecosystem.
