Earth Day has not only had a positive impact on the environment globally, but it has also played a significant role at the local level. Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day continues to grow as a worldwide phenomenon focusing on promoting clean living and a healthy, sustainable habitat for both people and wildlife. Celebrating Earth Day serves as a conscious reminder of how fragile our planet is and how important it is to protect it. If it weren’t for Senator Nelson taking a stand in the 1970s, we may have been still producing lead guzzling automobiles and expanding industrial production via smog, smoke, and waste. We celebrate Earth Day to continue promoting environmental awareness and to constantly remind us that we can protect the earth in our everyday lives as well. Earth Day is proof that even one person can make a global impact in a positive way.
To commemorate Earth Day, a number of online events were organized for all classes from VI to X. The events were planned by ‘Panchtatva’ The Environment Club of our school.
