World Earth Day 2023: Background and Importance
At a UNESCO Conference in 1969, peace campaigner John McConnell had the first idea for Earth Day. This holiday was intended to honour the planet and promote peace there. Here is the whole World Earth Day calendar:

1. In the US, the inaugural Earth Day was observed on April 22, 1970.

2. Denis Hayes, the organiser, took the initiative to make this day a worldwide celebration in 1990, and 141 nations joined in.

3. In 2016, the Paris Agreement, an international agreement for preserving the climate, was signed, thus establishing Earth Day.

4. The 50th anniversary of World Earth Day was observed in 2020.

We can positively affect the planet and benefit future generations, including neighbourhood clean-ups, energy conservation, support for laws that advance environmental sustainability, and spreading awareness of Earth Day among the youth and those around us. On Earth Day, we have the chance to do something constructive to ensure a better, more sustainable future for our world.
