We have birthdays, Mother?s Day, Valentine?s Day and even Boss?s Day, etc. So it?s about time we cleared a little space in our calendar for Earth Day. In fact, this event has been held on 22nd April since 1970, but the urge to celebrate the planet seems to become more pressing with each passing year. Volunteers the world over are getting mobilized to celebrate Earth Day in style by clearing out invasive species, planting endemic trees, organizing exhibitions and much, much more?

The World Wildlife Fund has a superbly-designed website, which offers tips on how to make each and every day Earth Day and also a section which allows readers to share their plans and post their photos. For example, Anu in Bangalore writes, ?Though Bangalore is known as the Garden City, due to the increasing population in this place, the city seems to have lost its greenery. On Earth Day, I am planning to buy a few plants to growd in my apartment?.
