Earth Day (April 22)

Today is earth day! What has you contribute as part of the enviroment protection?

Earth Day is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection, and is observed on April 22 each year.

It was first intiated by John McConnell in 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco and he proposed March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day of nature's equipoise was later sanctioned in a Proclamation signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations. Earth day took international on 1990 and organized events in 141 nations.

So, what have you done as part of enviromental responsibility?

although this is an annual event, but this doesn't means that we save our natural resources for this day only. some tiny little things in our daily life may bring big contribution too.
eg. switch off light/fan when not in use, bring container if u wish to pack food from outside, reduce the use of disposable things (chopstick, spoon, fork, bowl, tissue), close the tap when u brush ur teeth and when u apply shampoo........... a lot more common attitude that we practice in our daily activities.
