The idea behind World Jump Day goes back to 2006, and a UK-based German artist Torsten Lauschmann. This fantastic holiday is his creation, and he organized the first-ever celebration more than 15 years ago. And after he created his World Jump Day website, millions of avid jumpers registered to participate.
His idea was simple — if enough people around the world jumped simultaneously, he claimed they could change Earth’s orbit and reduce global warming. As you can imagine, that did not happen — but World Jump Day still lives on.
World Jump Day perfectly illustrates the amazing things people can do if they band together and work towards a positive common goal. And jumping symbolizes striving upwards, searching for greatness — and reaching for the skies. Plus it’s good for you!
