International Sun Day
Since 1994 in different countries on May 3, the Sun Day is celebrated, sometimes this day called World Sun Day or International Sun Day.
The sun is the nearest star to the Earth, all the others are immeasurably farther from us. For example, the closest Proxima star from the Centauri Alpha system is 4.22 light-years from the Sun.
For the Earth, the Sun is a powerful source of cosmic energy. It gives the light and heat necessary for the plant and animal world, and forms the most important properties of the Earth's atmosphere.
In general, the sun determines the ecology of the planet. Without it, there would be no air necessary for life - the air would turn into a liquid nitrogen ocean around the frozen waters and iced land. For us, earthlings, the most important feature of the Sun is that near it our planet arose, and life appeared on it.
The sun, wind, sea waves and biomass are the energy raw materials that constantly surround us and which are easy to use. It does not have to be extracted from the ground. It does not lead to the formation of radioactive waste, and does not produce toxic waste at all. This is renewable energy.
To draw attention to the possibilities of using renewable energy sources and recall that the Sun is vital for life on Earth, the European branch of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES-Europe) and organizes on a voluntary basis the annual holding of the Sun Day on May 3.
Enthusiasts and professionals, public organizations and firms throughout Europe organize events of various kinds related to the demonstration of the possibilities of solar energy.
This Day has been celebrated since 1992 on the initiative of representatives of the independent press of African countries with the support of UNESCO.
It was on May 3, 1991 in the Namibian capital that the ''Windhoek Declaration'' was signed, calling on governments of all countries to ensure press freedom and its democratic nature. The declaration emphasized that a major component of any democratic society is a free, pluralistic and independent press.
On the eve of Press Freedom Day, an international organization, the Committee to Protect Journalists, analyzes the relations between the press and the authorities and sends letters to the heads of state describing the problems of journalists that should be solved. The international organization ''Reporters Without Borders'', on the basis of monitoring the situation in more than 100 countries of the world, annually compiles a list of “enemies of the free press”.
The main event on the holiday is the presentation of the UNESCO World Prize for the contribution to the cause of the free press, named after Guillermo Cano. The award was founded in honor of the Colombian journalist who died in 1986. It is awarded to an individual, organization or institution who has made a significant contribution to protecting the freedom of the press or its promotion throughout the world, especially if such activity involves risk or repression.
Also on this day, various public organizations and journalistic associations in many countries hold various mass events aimed at drawing the attention of the authorities and the general public to the problems of freedom of speech in the media.
