Earth Day is a significant periodic event celebrated on April 22nd,  devoted to raising  mindfulness about environmental protection. Originating in 1970, it has evolved into the largest  temporal  kick in the world, drawing attention to critical ecological issues. 

 


 Literal Background :

            The conception of Earth Day  surfaced in the late 1960s, a period marked by growing concern over air and water pollution. Incidents like the  inordinate use of DDT(  stressed in Silent Spring) and the 1969  oil painting  slip in California  prodded public demand for environmental action.

 The Birth of Earth Day :

             Inspired by this  mindfulness, Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed a civil environmental teach-  heft,  told  by Vietnam War  demurrers. On April 22, 1970, his vision came to life as the first Earth Day. It witnessed participation from around 20 million Americans, leading to the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency( EPA) and  vital laws like 

  •  Clean Air Act 
  •  Clean Water Act
  • Exposed Species Protection Act 

 

 Ultramodern- Day Earth Day :

         While Earth Day has evolved, its core  charge remains unchanged 

 “ To educate and inspire  conduct for a healthier, greener earth. ” 

 

 Each time highlights a different theme. The 2025 theme is 

 “ Our Earth, Our Power ” 

 It emphasizes the need to triple renewable energy generation by 2030. 

 Renewable Energy A Global Need 

 


 Why Renewable Energy? 

        Renewables  similar as solar, wind, and hydro are 

 

  •  Natural and indefatigable 
  • Non-polluting and climate-friendly
  •  Essential  druther to fossil energies 

 

 Global Leaders in Clean Energy :

  •  China Leading in solar and wind power
  • Uruguay 98 electricity from renewables
  • USA Targeting 100 renewable by 2035


 Challenges and results :

 Solar panels Lifespan 

 30 times → Recycling is critical 

 India targets 80 recycling by 2028- 29 

  Wind Turbines 80 – 94 recyclable 

 Focus on  recovering  sword, aluminium, bobby

      

 Conclusion 

 Earth Day reminds us of our participated responsibility to  guard our “ Pale Blue fleck ”. With collaborative action, embracing renewable energy and sustainable practices, a cleaner, healthier future is within reach.
