Origins: Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. It was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin to bring attention to environmental issues and create national awareness about pollution air and water. The success of the event led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the passage of landmark environmental laws in the United States.

Global Movement: Earth Day is now celebrated in more than 190 countries around the world, making it the largest secular celebration in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people each year. The event has grown from a national campaign to a global movement addressing a wide range of environmental issues.

Theme: Each year, Earth Day has a specific theme to focus on different aspects of environmental conservation. Recent themes include / “Restore our Earth” / “Climate Action” and / “End Plastic Pollution”. These themes guide the activities and initiatives organized for Earth Day around the world.

The role of social media: Social media has played an important role in the expansion and impact of Earth Day. Campaigns and activities are largely promoted online, allowing people from different parts of the world to participate in virtual events, share information and raise awareness of environmental issues.

Environmental Impact: Earth Day has given rise to important environmental policies and initiatives. The movement was instrumental in the passage of various environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act in the United States. Additionally, it has inspired countless local and global initiatives to reduce pollution, protect natural habitats, and promote sustainable practices.
