Today on April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day. Earth Day is an annual event celebrated in April. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day now includes events in more than 193 countries, which are coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network.

The purpose of celebrating Earth Day is to promote understanding of important environmental issues. This will make more individuals more aware of the steps we need to take to protect our planet. Another big reason why we celebrate Earth Day is to also educate individuals on the actions we take to have a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
We are now living in a world where technology is, and we can use paperless. Below are a few ways to be more eco-friendly!

Energy efficient lightbulbs are a simple way to reduce the amount of power you use. Not only will this help the planet, but it can also help you save many as well. By replacing just one lightbulb, the effect can be immense.
