The 22nd of April has been marked as an Earth Day to make the human race aware about the importance of their planet. World Earth Day is celebrated every year as an annual event by the people all across the world in order to increase the awareness among people about the environment safety as well as to demonstratee the environmental protection measures. First time, the World Earth Day was celebrated in the year 1970 and then started celebrating annually on global basis by almost 192 countries.
