Today is the 22nd of April, which is celebrated as Earth Day all around the globe. The earth is giving no matter what one says, the earth has always given the humans whatever we have needed, but with time we have forgotten to return the favour back. The earth doesn’t ask for much and won’t ever ask for it but it is our duty to at the least care for it in some way or the other.
This year’s theme “Restore Our Earth” is so apt and perfect. This year’s theme focuses on factors of reversing climate change, green innovations and technologies and mitigation factors to revive and restore back the earth.
