Aimed at spreading awareness about issues like pollution, deforestation and global warming, Earth Day is observed on April 22 worldwide.

On the occasion, various events, drives and campaigns are organised in order to motivate people to come together and help in finding solutions to the problems facing the planet.

The theme this year for Earth Day 2022 is “Invest In our Planet” urging businesses to shift towards sustainable practices.

Meanwhile, the United Nations celebrates the day as International Mother Earth Day with the theme “Harmony with Nature.”

Notably, the first Earth Day was observed on April 22, 1970 with around 20 million people out on the streets to protest against the impacts of 150 years of industrial development which had left a growing legacy of serious human health impacts.
