New Delhi: On the occasion of Earth Day on Thursday, Google published a doodle on its homepage of a woman reading a book under a large tree while her daughter carries a sapling to plant.
“This year’s annual Earth Day Doodle highlights how everyone can plant the seed to a brighter future — one sapling at a time!” Google wrote.
A video of the doodle shows people teaching their young ones to plant trees, a lesson passed from one generation to the next.
Google also tweeted: “With people spending more time at home, searches involving “houseplants” reached record highs over the past year. This Earth Day, Latinx With Plants shows us how you can liven up your space with houseplants.”
The Earth day theme ”focuses on natural processes and emerging green technologies that can restore the world’s ecosystems. In this way, the theme rejects the notion that mitigation or adaptation are the only way to address climate change.”
This year, the earthday.org calls on everyone to “be apart of the change”. In 1990, Earth Day became an ”environmental movement, working with more than 75,000 partners in over 192 countries to drive positive action for our planet”.
