Earth Day is a day when we should remember that we only have one home and we need to keep it clean. The individual still bears responsibility for the planet on which he lives and can no longer hide behind the masses and society. Recycling and ecology are becoming like personal hygiene of a human.
Earth Day is dedicated to preserving the planet we live on. Although today the environmental awareness at a much higher level than some decades ago, the man still has a negative impact on the planet on which he lives. The paradigm of sustainable development today often languishing before the demands for ever-faster development. Most developed countries now trying to take care of our environment and reduce the adverse effects on him, even though the methods being used sometimes have negative consequences.
