World Earth Day is a yearly occasion celebrated on April 22. World Earth Day is observed across the world to support environmental movements and spread awareness about various environmental hazards like climate change, rising sea levels, ozone layer depletion, deforestation and ever-increasing global warming.
Gaylord Nelson first introduced the concept of Earth Day in the year 1970. The oil explosion in Santa Barbara in 1969 critically harmed the aquatic and terrestrial ecology. He decided to honour a day dedicated to nature after this tragedy.
It was celebrated in the USA and later on, it was celebrated all over the world. More than 193 Countries now celebrated World Earth Day. People are involved in environmental preservation activities on this day. Many conferences, and awareness programmes are arranged to celebrate this day.
On this day, some volunteers go to nearby areas to plant trees, while others clean surrounding roads and rivers. Many experts join hands and make banners, posters, works of art and so on.
It is our responsibility to fix the environmental damage we have already done. No one is going to ask for help with the environment. We must protect our environment.
I also know that many of my readers are concerned about the topic and are willing to start a movement for our Planet Earth. In such cases, Quotes play an important role in motivating people in any event or campaign celebration. In this article, I have compiled 45 best and most inspirational quotes about Earth Day.
