Today is the 53rd World Earth Day, with the theme of Invest in Our Planet. As is known to all, Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally, including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries. The first Earth Day was focused on the United States. Denis Hayes, the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international and organized events in 141 nations, which aims to arouse the general public’s awareness of caring for the earth and protecting their homeland, promoting the coordinated development of resource development and environmental protection, and then improving the overall environment of the earth.

In present times, when the dangers of climate change and global warming loom as large as ever, there is a constant pressure upon the entire world to do their bit and contribute towards the betterment of our home planet. Why? Because there is only one Earth. 

Therefore, it is of great significance for all the human beings to make every effort to protect the environment and save the only earth. Switching off the lights is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, In addition to turning off the lights, we can also do many trial things to protect our only planet in our daily life. For instance, planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint and spread of greenhouse gases; travelling via public transport is the better option than private cars for less emission; purchasing environmental-friendly daily necessities, such as AIWIBI Bamboo Baby Diapers and AIWIBI Bamboo Baby Wet Wipes.

However, Earth Day is not just an event to be celebrated on one specific day. It is primarily a reminder for all to do our rightful duty that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live in. Earth Day is a motivation for you to start right now, and always remember that every step, every initiative counts.
