Earth Day is a specially selected day of the year (April 22) to celebrate the importance of our planet Earth and to share information and data about its care and preservation. The establishment of Earth Day took place on April 22, 1970 in the United States, but over time this celebration became increasingly international and is currently celebrated globally with various types of ceremonies, acts and events. It is a day in which humanity comes together to reflect on the place where it lives and to think about what can be done to prevent the Earth from continuing to destroy itself.
It can be said that since the establishment of Earth Day in 1970, ecological activism began to gain more and more space in different public spaces. Nowadays, the reflection on the care of the environment generated by the impact that human activities have had on it is central not only in terms of the general public but also in the agendas of the great politicians. Earth Day is organized long in advance and currently has a flag and specific symbols that serve to recognize one of the most important days for the entire world.
Earth Day is not, however, a day in which simply commemorative and symbolic acts are carried out. On the contrary, it is a day in which all citizens and, especially, different governments, are urged to take greener attitudes and to preserve the environment that surrounds us. In any case, ecological groups work all year round to get the world's most influential politicians and personalities to ensure positive changes in the environment. The selection of a particular day to celebrate such a situation has to do with the need to make public the specific reflection and debate on the future of our planet.
