Meta has announced this feature as part of celebrations for the upcoming Earth Day and the company says that they want the consumers to check out a few ways to take action against climate change, on this occasion.

According to the company, they have initiated the ways of taking action against the climate change and learning more about the climate issues ahead of Earth Day.
