"Today we celebrate the Earth Day with a great gift: We have got
Less industrial pollution
Less air pollution from cars
Less CO2 footprint from planes
Less noise pollution at airports
Lot less litter on streets.
All It took was a global pandemic shutdown. Now our Mother Earth can breathe. I know we are missing our normal lives, but it is time to imagine what we are going to do once things go back to normal. Our normal must be different. Let’s work together everyone in our own way to protect our planet and save the earth. Let’s love our earth. Love is the greatest gift."
Dr. Rasha Kelej
CEO of Merck Foundation.
