Today is Earth Day
Do you know that today is Earth Day? Yes? But you forgot? Hehe ok, I am here to REMIND you.
So what is Earth Day?
Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day.

How Do you celebrate Earth Day?
- Plant trees around your home.
- Donate money to your favorite green cause.
- Join a local group that undertakes activities to help protect the environment in your area.
- Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long. Although no-plastic-bag day is on every Saturday but try not to use plastic bag today also. But don’t restrict the habit only for today or every Saturday, put it into practice every day.
- Learn more about the environment; find out information about pollution, endangered species, water shortages, recycling, and climate change.

My son Yassin planted rambutan tree few years ago. Now the tree is taller than him. Now he’s waiting to reap the ‘benefit’.
And my most favourite search engine, Google, celebrates Earth Day too. Check this out:
Happy Earth Day, everybody.

With the commemoration day of the earth (earth day) this will hopefully increase the awareness that everything belongs to God and should be used for purposes which are outlined in God.
Bang Iwan
Humans as the holder of the mandate (caliph All?h fi al-ard) were instructed to use the mandate of managing the earth and its contents within the framework of obedience to Allah SWT
Bang Iwan
Earth is an event for humans to live racing achievement (Musabaqah fi al-Khairat) for the benefit of the ummah, for the sake of the life of the Hereafter.
Bang Iwan
Ethics are important from the way we keep the earth’s natural resources and its content is by maintaining the natural order to avoid damage to both material and spiritual damage.
