Earth Day is a global event celebrated annually on April 22nd. The day is dedicated to raising awareness about environmental issues and encouraging people to take action to protect the planet. People all over the world celebrate Earth Day in various ways, depending on their interests and location.
One of the most common activities people do on Earth Day is to participate in events and activities that focus on environmental protection. This can include volunteering for local clean-up efforts, planting trees or gardens, organizing community recycling programs, and attending rallies or demonstrations. These events provide a platform for people to come together, share their concerns about the environment, and take concrete actions to make a positive impact.

This can involve teaching students about environmental issues, organizing nature walks or field trips, and hosting guest speakers who specialize in environmental advocacy and conservation.
Another way people celebrate Earth Day is by making personal commitments to reduce their environmental impact. This can include making changes to their daily habits, such as using reusable bags and containers, conserving energy, and reducing water usage.
