Earth Day – 192 countries and google celebrate
There’s no place like #MyBeautifulEarth. https://mybeautifulearth.withgoogle.com/ Share your photos for Earth Day
Every year on April 22, over a billion people in 190 countries take action for Earth Day and google wasn’t to be left out
From San Francisco to San Juan, Beijing to Brussels, Moscow to Marrakesh, people plant trees, clean up their communities, contact their elected officials, and more—all on behalf of the environment.
And this year was no different.
Like Earth Days of the past, Earth Day 2014 focused on the unique environmental challenges of our time. As the world’s population migrates to cities, and as the bleak reality of climate change becomes increasingly clear, the need to create sustainable communities becomes more important than ever.
Earth Day 2014 sought to do just that through its global theme: Green Cities. With smart investments in sustainable technology, forward-thinking public policy, and an educated and active public, we can transform our cities and forge a sustainable future. Nothing is more powerful than the collective action of a billion people.

From Botswana to Zambia, from China to Vietnam, from Albania to UK, from Argentina to Venezuela, Iran to Pakistan, Australia to Samoa, Arizona to Wyoming
In Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America – there was something happening yesterday – even internet giant google joined in – the internet giant devised one of its iconic moving illustrations to mark the annual global environmental protection event.
The moving illustration features a host of animals including a hummingbird, a chameleon, a puffer fish and a dung beetle
First is the Rufous Hummingbird, a colourful ave whose wings can be seen flapping at the speed of light while it hungrily devours the sweet nectar inside a couple of blooming flowers. Next up, a pair of dozing monkeys, identified as Japanese Macaques, huddle together for warmth in a snowy landscape.
There is also a throbbing moon jellyfish, a dung beetle gamely rolling a much larger ball of animal manure, a bloated, rotating puffer fish and a veiled chameleon doing its best to blend into its surroundings.
Earth Day was first held in 1970 and is now celebrated in more than 192 countries each year.
Why not start organizing your event for 2015 now?
