Today is Earth Day 2014, To Be Observed by 200 countries
NEW YORK: The world will be celebrating Earth Day 2014 on April 22. The promise of the better planet and the common goal of improving earth are the manifesto of the Earth Day. The whole world will be participating in the event. The theme and concept of Earth Day 2014 are Green Cities. The organizations of the events have already started in as many as 10000 places for Earth Day Celebration. The numbers of events are most likely to be increased.
The Earth Day was founded by a US Senator, Gaylord Nelson. There was an oil spilling incident in Santa Barbara of California. After the incident, he decided to found the Earth Day on April 22 in 1970. Almost 20 million enthusiasts had participated in the event. Later in 1990, the celebration became global and the entire world joined hands to make the planet a better place to live. Now close to 200 countries celebrate the Earth Day.
The significance of Earth Day became inevitable and the founder Gaylord Nelson received a special award for his contribution to the Earth Day. He was awarded the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom. The then President, Bill Clinton, conferred him the award in 1995. After the movement got started, US Congress passed the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
NASA has asked for a selfie for the event and will be making an Earth by using the selfies. NASA said that a Blue Earth will be made and the selfies will be collaged to give it a perfect look.
Organizers have asked people to do proper justice towards the Earth.
