Earth Day is observed across the world today with the aim of creating awareness among the masses to protect the environment.
The event is commemorated worldwide to outreach to society and raise the issue on the occasion. Like every year, the world is celebrating the 43rd anniversary of Earth Day on Monday, April 22.
The idea to observe Earth Day in the United States was propelled in 1970 by Denis Hayes who popularised it to the global level. Today, Earth Day is observed in more than 192 countries -- with the UN endorsing the day in 2009.
