A day of love for Mother Earth
World Earth Day, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd 2017 .
This is the largest and most important event on the planet, a time when all citizens - more than 190 countries and a billion people - join hands and come together to promote the protection of the Earth.
Born in 1970 thanks to President Nelson, it is still an event very much felt and promoted by ecologists and not in every part of the world: recycling, pollution, destruction of ecosystems and habitats, disappearance of species, conservation of natural resources, are just some of the issues that are dealt with.
Here is a series of events and useful links to be able to actively participate and make your voice heard on such an important day.
