Why Planet vs. Plastics?
Plastics pose a grave threat to humanity and all living creatures. They disrupt the delicate balance of life on Earth. But we can make a difference! Here’s how:
- Demand Change: Let’s rapidly phase out all single-use plastics.
- Strong UN Treaty: Urgently push for a robust UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution.
- End Fast Fashion: Say no to disposable plastic fashion.
Earth Day was founded in1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day 2024 will occur on Monday, April 22. The holiday is now a global celebration that’s sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green living and confronting the climate crisis.
Here is some ways to contribute to Earth Day:
- Planting trees or gardens to help the ecosystem and beautify the surroundings.
- Starting or joining a recycling program to reduce waste and conserve resources.
- Making a green pact as a family or a community to adopt eco-friendly habits and practices.
- Making an earth-friendly dinner with local, sustainable, and organic foods.
- Discarding or avoiding plastic products that pollute the oceans and harm wildlife.
- Riding bicycles or using public transportation to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution.
- Saving energy and water by turning off lights and appliances when not in use, and fixing leaks and drips.
In conclusion; we can Reflect on the Global Impact by emphasizing the significance of Earth Day as a global movement. Keep in mind that millions of people across more than 190 countries come together to raise awareness, take action, and protect our planet. I would suggest to make small changes in our daily lives, such as reducing waste, planting trees, or supporting eco-friendly initiatives. Collectively contribute to a healthier planet.
