WORDS from the passage. EARTH DAY, EVERY DAY
Each year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22. On Earth Day, millions of
people around the world raise awareness about the environment and the need to
protect it against pollution and deforestation. Earth Day is celebrated
differently in different countries around the world, but all these celebrations
have the same theme and goal of improving our planet. Let’s take a closer look
at how different places celebrate this important day. In New York, there are
pop-up shops featuring companies that support sustainability and eco-friendly
concepts such as “buy one, get one tree” where for every product you buy, the
company will plant a tree! Speaking of sustainability-focused companies, in
Japan, they hold a two-day event where around 100,000 visitors support these
companies by purchasing from their stores and participating in fun family
activities. There are various events in India on Earth Day, and participants are
encouraged to wear green. Many of these events are focused on raising funds to
protect the Asian elephant, which is an endangered species. Like many
governments across the globe, the South African government considers climate
change to be one of the biggest challenges that humanity is facing. Earth Day is
a day for South Africans to focus on making small, easy adjustments in their
everyday life in order to create a more sustainable future. We can all help to
create a healthy and happy Earth by treating every day like Earth Day, even if it
is in just one small way. After all, the Earth belongs to all of us and we should
all look after it to ensure a sustainable home for future generations.
