World Earth Day

Earth Day is a global event, each year where over 1 billion people from 192 countries come together to discuss what are the immediate steps that need to be taken to protect and preserve our humble blue home. On April 22, 1970 millions of people took to the streets to protest the negative impacts of over 150 years of industrial development. Evidence showed that at the amount of smog being generated was becoming increasingly deadlier by the day and Biodiversity, in general, was in a decline due to the heavy use of pesticides and other pollutants. The Global Ecology awareness in the world had increased and today, Earth Day is one of the largest civic focus days of action in the world. The theme for Earth Day 2019 is to protect our species. Not just human beings but all species that are now under threat of becoming endangered.

 

The goals for Earth Day are:

• Educate and raise awareness about the accelerating rate of extinction of millions of species and the causes and consequences of this phenomenon.

• Achieve major policy victories that protect broad groups of species as well as individual species and their habitats.

• Build and activate a global movement that embraces nature and its values.

• Encourage individual actions such as adopting a plant-based diet and stopping pesticide and herbicide use.

 

The proficient implementation of the above-mentioned facts add to the increasing influx of tourists that aim for medical tourism in Kerala and the very first step that one needs to implement is the use of medical disposables such as probe covers into the general system of health care.
