Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day commenced on April 22, 1970 and today more than 1 billion people in 192 countries of the world are celebrating this day. Earth Day is now a global event each year; it is the largest civic-focused day of action in the world. The theme of Earth Day 2022 is “Invest In Our Planet”.
This is a great day to celebrate our planet and all of the wonders it holds. It is also a day for reflection and forward-thinking and it’s more important than ever that we bring our focus back to protecting and preserving our Earth.
