 Earth Day is celebrated all over the world on 22 April 2020. This day is founded by American Senator Gaylard Nelson. Gaylard Nelson, first, drew America’s attention to the environmental side effects caused by American industrial development. Earth Day aims to “build the world’s largest environmental movement to drive transformative change for people and the planet.” The movement’s mission is “to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide.” The year 2021 marks Earth Day’s 51st anniversary. Each year, this day is assigned a different theme or area of focus; this year’s theme is “Restore Our Earth.”
Every country on this planet at some point was under lockdown for many months, and nature found a way to let Earth regain its lost wealth, during this period. No one was sure that there would be a day when they would see, at least in this lifetime, nature recovering after a fallow due to excessive pollution. But the lockdown had turned the tables. Not just the skyline became clearer with each passing day, the rivers were visibly purer, and the once-endangered flora and fauna came back to life.
