The global search engine "Google" celebrated Earth Day 2022, which falls on April 22 of each year, by changing its famous main interface.
And Google published several successive images showing the impact of climate change on the planet, by monitoring the developments that occurred in a specific spot during the period from 1986 to 2020, when the shape of the cover that covered that spot changed during that period.
This year, Earth Day raises the slogan “Invest in Our Planet” with the aim of stimulating international efforts to confront the negative impacts of climate change on the planet, work to find faster solutions to combat climate change and encourage everyone - from governments to individuals and companies - to play their roles, and recognize the responsibility Everyone is helping to accelerate the transition towards a green economy.
Earth Day is a global occasion to stimulate international efforts to confront the challenges of climate change that the world is witnessing and its negative consequences represented in the threat to biodiversity, air and ocean pollution, rising temperatures, floods and other manifestations.
Global concern is growing about the consequences of biodiversity loss. According to United Nations estimates, the world loses about 4.7 million hectares of forests annually, while the number of animal and plant species currently threatened with extinction is estimated at one million.
The Earth's temperature continues to rise, as the past three years were the warmest on record, while concentrations of major greenhouse gases continue to increase, while the oceans suffer from acidification and deoxygenation, which greatly affects marine life, especially fisheries.
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 of each year, to show support for the protection of the environment. It was celebrated for the first time in 1970, and it includes several events organized by the Earth Day Network around the world.
April 22 was chosen as the International Earth Day, because it represents spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere.
Anyone can participate in the revival of Earth Day, by planting plants and trees, turning off the lights before leaving anywhere, cycling or walking away from cars, and not overwatering.
