22nd April of every year is marked as Earth Day; a day where the whole world comes together to propagate about various alarming environmental issues, inspire new ideas and motivate everyone to take a step towards saving Mother Earth. The date holds significance because many years ago, in 1970, it was when a small but conscious movement had started – "channelling human energy towards environmental issues," as Earth Day website states it.
Climate change is a reality and there’s much that we all need to do to save our planet, making life sustainable and energy renewable. We don’t realise this, but every little thing we do, eventually affects the environment. Food too plays a big role in the environment. Agriculture, food processing units, animal rearing and food wastage are some of the major factors hampering the Earth; getting only worse over the years. This world has finite resources and we are polluting them with the use of chemicals and other toxins. The truth is, more we ignore these issues, the more we will find ourselves in trouble in the coming years. This, is the reason why we need to start, and start now. If you are wondering how you can help, you will be surprised by the many little ways you actually can save the world.
