The International Day of Zero Waste, observed globally, is a day dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and raising awareness about reducing waste to protect the environment. Events include educational programs, community clean-ups, and initiatives to encourage waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. The day emphasizes the importance of individual and collective actions in achieving a zero-waste lifestyle, ultimately contributing to the preservation of natural resources and the mitigation of environmental impact. It serves as a call to action for communities, businesses, and individuals to adopt sustainable practices and work towards a world with minimal waste.

Palm Sunday is a significant Christian observance that falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, as described in the Bible, when crowds greeted Him by waving palm branches and laying their cloaks on the road to honor Him as a king. This day marks the beginning of Holy Week, a period of reflection and devotion leading up to Easter. Palm Sunday services often include the blessing of palm branches, which are distributed to the congregation, followed by a procession into the church to reenact Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
