Giornata della terra Posted by Bridgette on Apr 22, 2021 in Environment, Vocabulary
Giornata della terra – Earth Day
Ciao a tutti!
Oggi è la giornata della terra, il giorno in cui si celebra la salvaguardia del pianeta Terra. Today is Earth Day, the day that the preservation of planet Earth is celebrated.
It has been recognized since April 22, 1970, when 20 million Americans poured into the streets to bring awareness to environmental issues. To this day, it remains the largest single day protest in human history. There are some events streaming online these next couple days to celebrate, if interested check it out here in English https://www.earthday.org/ or here in Italian https://www.earthdayitalia.org/
Perhaps you enjoy already un stile di vita più sostenibile (a more sustainable lifestyle) or you would like to be un cittadino consapevole (a conscious citizen) and have un rapporto più armonioso tra uomo e natura (a more harmonious relationship between man and nature.) If so, then this holiday is for you! I hope you are celebrating today and thinking about the importance of preserving our beautiful planet.
