This Friday is Earth Day 2016—a day allocated for collective appreciation and celebration of this Blue Planet on which we all reside.
It all began in 1970, when 22 million Americans came together to raise awareness about the importance of clean land, air, and water, which eventually led to the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. Now, 193 countries join in celebrating the planet, with the aim to protect and preserve it to the best of our abilities.
Symbols used for Earth Day typically involve images of trees, flowers, or leaves depicting growth and a healthy environment. Last year began the trend of using Iris as the Earth Day Flower, a fitting symbol of a Blue Flower for a Blue Planet.
