It's April 22nd, 2025. Hence, today is Earth Day. Originating in 1970 as a nationwide demonstration, the goal was to raise awareness about environmental issues and to mobilize public support for environmental protection. Earth Day started as a protest for our planet and its health, in other words. A lot has changed since 1970 for the better and lately for the worse. With efforts being made in the United States to gut the EPA, quit tracking climate change, loosen regulations, and so forth, our Earth continues to be mistreated. Plus, ever since we developed the ability to outright destroy our planet within a day's span of time, thanks to Nuclear Missiles, we've been on the edge of disaster perpetually, if you think about it.
Earth Day is about celebrating our planet and recognizing we need to protect it--generally from ourselves. Whether it is something as simple as not littering and conserving water or something as complex as a major corporation trying to have a zero (or negative) carbon footprint, we all can do our part for Earth. Everybody we know of lives here (besides a handful of astronauts in space), after all, so I'd say we owe Earth some respect.
