Our Earth is the most important not only on April 22, but throughout the year
Our Earth is a treasure. It is difficult to put into words how important environmental awareness is, and how important it is to introduce its importance into everyday life.
We know there are many exaggerated and unrealistic statements about what we humans can and cannot achieve in a person. Many people write and say that until the big factories and production units (in any segment) do much, much more for the sake of the cause, it will be useless if we put the waste in the selective or buy more consciously... BUT! We, the hellomagic team, don't even want to take a stand now, we JUST want to give YOU a little reminder and sprinkle a few bits of information, and not just because EARTH DAY falls on this day every year.
Earth! Earth on the horizon!
The result of our planet, the rich tapestry of life, is more than 4.5 billion years of evolutionary history.
