Steps to take to shape our future- World Earth Day
We are living in a fast moving world and the steps we take now will decide the quality of our future. This present moment is the time to decide and change everything that doesn’t serve us right. World Earth Day is a reminder for mankind to protect and safeguard the mother earth and its species, to make Earth a better place for the coming generations.
The first Earth Day in 1970 was launched with a wave of action. The Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts were created in response to the first Earth Day in 1970, as well as the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Earth Day continues to hold major international significance: In 2016, the United Nations chose Earth Day as the day when the historic Paris Agreement on climate change was signed into force!
Did you know, it is the largest secular observance marked by more than a billion people worldwide!
Climate action and steps that we can take to shape our future is the focus this year.
The United Nations has given us 10 impactful actions to begin with:
Our lifestyle changes, even the little ones have the capacity to impact our life and in turn the planet’s life in a major way.
The fight for a cleaner environment continues with urgency and the digital world is an amazing tool that acts as a catalyst bringing everyone together for a single cause.
In recent times we have seen the #SaveSoil campaign organized by Isha Foundation moving the entire world to take action.
There are several brands that vouch for causes too, leading movements on causes that matter.
All forms of art are being used to spread a message of awareness. The Google Doodle today for example addresses one of the most pressing topics of our time: climate change.
