Hello Friends
Today is World Earth Day

World Earth Day is celebrated every year as an annual event by the people all across the world on 22nd of April in order to increase the awareness among people about the environment safety as well as to demonstrate the environmental protection measures. First time, the world earth day was celebrated in the year 1970 and then started celebrating annually on global basis by almost 192 countries.
World Earth Day observance was started to celebrate as an annual event to get national support in order to better take care of the environmental safety by solving its issues. In 1969, there was a peace activist of the San Francisco named John McConnell who actively involved in starting this event and proposed a day to get together for the environmental safety. John McConnell had chosen this event to be celebrated in the spring equinox on 21st of March in 1970 whereas United States Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson had chosen this event to be celebrated on 22nd of April in 1970.

Manu ..thank you for reminding us the importance of today !

Every year on April 22, over a billion people in 192 countries take action for Earth Day. From San Francisco to San Juan, Beijing to Brussels, Moscow to Marrakesh, people plant trees, clean up their communities, contact their elected officials, and more"all on behalf of the environment.

Earth Day 2014 will focus on green cities, mobilizing millions of people to create a sustainable, healthy environment by greening communities worldwide

Today, more than half of the world's population lives in cities. It's time for us to invest in efficiency and renewable energy, rebuild our cities and towns, and begin to solve the climate crisis.

Mother Earth is a common expression for the planet Earth in a number of countries and regions, which reflects the interdependence that exists among human beings.

. Earth Day 2014 will seek to do just that through its global theme: Green Cities. With smart investments in sustainable technology, forward-thinking public policy, and an educated and active public, we can transform our cities and forge a sustainable future. Nothing is more powerful than the collective action of a billion people.

UNESCO has termed Indian poet-diplomat Abhay K's idea of an official Earth Anthem as a creative and inspiring thought that would contribute to bringing the world together.

The "Earth Day Anthem" below satisfies these requirements for a universal song associated with Earth Day.

Joyful we adore our Earth in all its wonderment

Simple gifts of nature that all join into a paradise
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love throughout all time
With our gentle hand and touch
We make our home a newborn world
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love throughout all time
With our gentle hand and touch

We make our home a newborn world.

Thanks for the information Manu. As we observe Earth Day ,there is a broad public support for cleaner air and water. As a nation we need to adopt drastic steps to improve the enviornment. The coming challenge is what to do about climate change . The scientists unanimously agree that it would be potentially calamitous if don't put a check on the emission of greenhouse gases. Hence effective measures should be adopted to curb the same in order to save our earth from getting extinct.
