Earth Day. The official planet dedicated day for a clean and green future

The Earth Day focuses on awareness rising of millions of people to create a sustainable and healthy environment, by mobilizing communities around the world. Today, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. As the urban population grows and the effects of climate change worsen, we, the citizens, must build and develop the cities by providing optimal conditions for life.
For the next two years, the campaign ” Green Cities’ will mobilize the global population for a new era of ‘green cities’, which will be able to provide specific ecosystems for other creatures besides human.
Every year, on April 22, more than 190 countries organize public events at community, national and international levels to protect the planet. Climate change consequences are presented by exposing the relevant materials on giant screens or posters.
From San Francisco to San Juan, from Beijing to Brussels, from Moscow to Marrakesh, peoplewill plant trees, clean up their communities, and undertake other activities within the ‘green campaign’ in order to protect the environment.

The total number of participants was estimated at one billion.
