LET'S STOP DEVOURING OUR PLANET, WE ARE PART OF IT

“It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.” —David Attenborough

 

 Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
