What is Earth Day?

Earth Day is a special day celebrated every year on April 22. It’s a day when people all around the world take a moment to look at how we can better take care of our Earth. This day was first celebrated in 1970, making it a tradition that has been observed for over 50 years!

Why Do We Celebrate Earth Day?

Earth Day is important because it helps us remember to care for our environment. It’s like a birthday party for our planet where instead of giving gifts, we do things to help the Earth. People plant trees, clean up litter in parks and beaches, and learn more about how to recycle and save energy. It’s a day to learn about our planet and think about how we can make it a better place.

How Did Earth Day Start?

Earth Day was created by a man named Gaylord Nelson, who was a U.S. Senator. He was worried because many people were not taking care of the environment. He wanted to teach everyone about the importance of clean air and water. So, he thought of a day where everyone could focus on helping the Earth, and many people liked his idea!
