KNOWLEDGEGenius Kidz Newsletter April 2017

What is Earth Day all about?Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22; on this day events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Earth day first celebrated in 1970, and it is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, it is celebrated in more than 193 countries each year.

Why do we celebrate the Earth Day?Over the centuries we have mercilessly utilised and depleted the Earth’s resources. Our sheer ignorance has begun to cause severe problems like depletion of the Ozone layer, death of rivers due to the dumping of industrial waste, global warming etc. In our quest for industrialisation heavy amount of deforestation took place. This has harmed the Earth’s environment. The ice at the Poles has started to melt due to the rise in Earth’s temperature. This is an ominous sign of what is to come. We have dug quite a huge pit for ourselves already, but we can still get out of it. So, days like the Earth Day remind us to be caring and loving to the Earth.

Why is it important to celebrate Earth Day?The Sun with its family of eight planets, now that the distant ice-covered Pluto is no more a ‘planet’; make our galaxy, the Milky Way; but of all the planets the Earth turned out to be the luckiest. This is because it is the only planet where life became possible, at least far as our knowledge goes. Life in its most beautiful forms developed here, be it humans, animals, plants or marine life. The one thing that made Earth unique was the presence of a superb form of intelligent life called the human race. But somewhere on the way the human race lost its humanity, forgot to acknowledge the planet that gave it life; and used its resources ruthlessly. The world now marks the Earth Day to make the human race realise the importance of the Mother Earth.

How we can help to save EarthChange your unnatural lifestyle to the extent you can. Use a bicycle as much as possible. Don’t misuse precious water and electricity. Don’t use plastics when you can avoid it.

Make students and citizens aware of the importance of saving the earth, and what we can do to protect the environment, forests and wildlife.

Try to get your phone recycled as it introduces very harmful and toxic substances in the environment and goes into landfills.

So on this Earth Day, let us pledge to do something so that we can help the planet. Perhaps we can avoid using our car on this day and save petrol which will free the atmosphere from pollution. May be we could recycle the papers and stop using plastic bags. It could be anything, but it will definitely go a long way in saving the mankind.

“A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”

—Franklin D. Roosevelt
