WORLD EARTH DAY

World Earth Day: 22 April 2023

We only have one Earth, so World Earth Day is a reminder to us all to take care of our precious planet.

The theme for this year’s World Earth Day is “Invest In Our Planet.” The aim for the year is to encourage public citizens, businesses and governments around the world to #InvestInOurPlanet. If we all do our part, no matter how small, we can make the world a better place to live in – for now as well as for the future. Find ways to save energy, reduce water, buy less, eat less meat, and lower our carbon footprint. The time to do this is now!

Why can’t the moon live without Because the moon’s life revolves around the Earth.

Why is Earth considered the best among all planets? Because Earth rocks.

What did Earth say to the rocket?

You’re a blast.
