International Creator Day takes place on April 23 and is a global initiative that celebrates the significant contribution that social media content creators have made to the lives of people around the world. With over half the world’s population using social media, and content being uploaded every second for a waiting audience, 500 hours of content are uploaded to youtube every minute alone. Today is an important day to recognize the people who make all of that possible, the creators.
Movie Theatre Day
Movie Theatre Day is celebrated on April 23 each year. This holiday celebrates movie theaters and the thrills they bring into our lives. Today, movie theaters are more than relaxation centers, they also offer a great avenue to have romantic dates, meet new faces, and hang out with friends or family members after a hard day’s work. Much more, some movies now premiere first at the theaters before they are released to other channels for sales and streaming. This underlines the influence and importance of movie theaters today. Sadly, with the advent of the internet and the proliferation of streaming networks, movie theaters now face extinction and low patronage.
International Mother Earth Day
Under Resolution A/RES/63/278, the United Nations established International Mother Earth Day, which has taken place on April 22 since 2009. The State of Bolivia proposed the Resolution, which was adopted by more than 50 member nations. The resolution acknowledges that the Earth and its ecosystems are our home and that it is critical to promote harmony with nature and the Earth. “Mother Earth” is used because it reflects the interconnectedness that exists between humans, other living species, and the planet we all share.
