WORLD BOOK DAY AND COPYRIGHT DAY

World Book and Copyright Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year, on 23 April, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures.

The first World Book Day was celebrated on 23 April in 1995, and continues to be recognized on that day.In 1995 UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is also the anniversary of the death of WilliamShakespeare.

World Book Day 2020 Theme

Audrey Azoulay, Director General of UNESCO sums up the theme of 2020 through these words; “Books have the unique ability both to entertain and to teach. They are at once a means of exploring realms beyond our personal experience through exposure to different authors, universes and cultures, and a means of accessing the deepest recesses of our inner selves.”

Books are our best friends. Books not only are our friends but also a good philosopher, guide and serve the purpose of a good companion whenever needed. And specially in this time when the whole world is struggling to fight Covid-19 pandemic. All most everyone is utilising this lockdown period in reading books while staying put at home.As books are our major source of information, entertainment and comfort during the lockdown,the power of books should be leveraged to combat isolation.Parents should read good books along with their children and inculcate good reading habits among children.

EARTH DAY

EARTH DAY WITH THE THEME CLIMATE ACTION

Earth Day has been celebrated every April 22nd since 1970. The main aim of Earth Day is to raise awareness on the negative impact our actions as mankind have on our environment and earth as a whole, and is a day for political action and civic participation.The theme for Earth Day 2020 is climate action. The enormous challenge — but also the vast opportunities — of action on climate change have distinguished the issue as the most pressing topic for the 50th anniversary.Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson came up with the idea for a national day to focus on the environment after Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, witnessed the ravages of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, in 1969.

WHAT CAN WE DO ON EARTH DAY
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in the recycling bin. ... But you can also take reusable bags to the grocery, and avoid using disposable plates, spoons, glass, cups and napkins. They create huge amounts of waste. And buy products that are made of recycled materials.

That's why each year on April 22, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet from things like pollution and deforestation. By taking part in activities like picking up litter and planting trees, we're making our world a happier, healthier place to live.
