The Earth Day is celebrated across the world on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. The first Earth Day was focused on the United States when Americans took to the streets with a peaceful call for environmental reform following an oil spill off the coast of California.
Half a century later, the day calls for people to unite in the fight against global pandemic, COVID-19, which has infected over 2 million people across the globe.

"Amid the recent outbreak, we encourage people to rise up but to do so safely and responsibly - in many cases, that means using our voices to drive action online rather than in person," said Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged people to fight the challenges to preserve the planet.
"Our planet is going through one of the biggest crises in human history - the #CoronaPandemic. But a bigger threat is staring at us - climate change. We must all act together to fight these challenges and preserve our beautiful planet," tweeted Ms Banerjee.
