Despite having vast resources at their disposal, they utilized all natural resources to the greatest extent possible.

They are frugal with free resources.They conserved, recycled, and repurposed without the need of large banners or messages.

Importance of Earth Day

Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. senator, had the idea for a national day to focus on the environment.

Since the first Earth Day celebration in 1970, the event has evolved into an international network aimed at raising awareness about global environmental challenges.

Every year, around 13.7 million hectares of forest are destroyed for various reasons. If this trend continues, our planet will have no trees and only deserts in a few decades.

Currently, the entire global forest cover is just about 30% of the total land. Indian forests cover only roughly 20% of the country.

 

 All of these factors have made it necessary to safeguard all forests, water supplies, air, and other natural resources.

So, let us work together to make the Earth a better place for everyone.
