It’s Earth Day! Let’s Come Together to Make A Difference!
How did Earth Day begin?
The
very first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. This day was
created by American Senator, Gaylord Nelson, to make people aware of the
importance of keeping our planet healthy and clean. On that day,people
made promises to help the environment and make positive changes in
their community. Since then, more than 500 million people in over 180
countries have participated in Earth Day activities!
Of course you can! Everything you do to
help the planet counts, whether you walk to school or help to clean up
litter from your neighborhood park! The most important thing to remember
is that Earth Day should be every day!
“Treat the earth well: it was not
given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We
do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our
Children.”
