This Earth Day, April 22, Google is buzzing with excitement as they unveil a delightful video game to celebrate this special occasion. The game, featuring a friendly bee, takes users on a pollination journey, highlighting the importance of bees for our planet’s ecosystems.
The United Nations recognizes bees as indispensable to our ecosystems, as they enable plant reproduction through pollination, including many food crops. However, human activities, such as the use of pesticides, pose significant threats to bees.
The origin of Earth Day dates back to 1970 when a massive demonstration took place due to the Santa Barbara oil spill. The protests, joined by numerous university students, had a profound international impact. This environmentalist sentiment led to the establishment of Earth Day as an official United Nations observance on December 21, 2009.
Earth Day 2023 serves as a timely reminder to appreciate the vital role bees play in maintaining the health of our planet. Through Google’s engaging video game and the global observance of Earth Day, we can raise awareness about the importance of preserving bees and protecting our environment for future generations.
