“We must act decisively to protect our planet from both the coronavirus and the existential threat of climate disruption” – UN Secretary-General António Guterres
Earth Day is an annual event that is celebrated on 22 April. This year’s theme is ‘Restore the Earth’. Started in 1970, this day is celebrated to shine a light on the extenuating circumstances that are plaguing our planet. This day is used to spread awareness, educate the public, mobilise politicians and shared resources to address this global problem. It is also used to celebrate and reinforce the progress we have made in our collective actions.
Here is a curated list of Twitter reactions from some prominent personalities on Earth Day 2021:
Mother Earth is so generous. If only we give her the chance, she will restore everything in absolute abundance and beauty. #SadhguruQuotes #EarthDay pic.twitter.com/HnXb0IPyyn

This #EarthDay let’s appreciate how beautiful home is. Theme for this year is ‘restore our earth’. We are now losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the background rate, with literally dozens going extinct every day. One of my favorite capture. Share yours. pic.twitter.com/fMCS1ylbHU

Always happiest when I’m in nature
The time has come to accept the damage we’re creating & our part in it. I’m actively considering how I can make changes for myself & those around me. Maybe you could too?
