Every year on April 22nd (or around the spring equinox in some places), we celebrate Earth Day! It's a day to:

• Show appreciation for our amazing planet, its diverse ecosystems, and the resources it provides.
• Raise awareness about environmental challenges like climate change, pollution, and habitat loss.
• Inspire action to protect our planet for future generations.

Earth Day started in 1970 as a way to unite the environmental movement and has grown into a global event. Today, billions of people in over 190 countries participate in Earth Day activities.

This year's theme is "Planet vs. Plastics." It highlights the growing problem of plastic pollution and encourages solutions to reduce plastic waste.

Let's all do our part to celebrate Earth Day and ensure a healthy planet for ourselves and future generations.
