Today, April 22nd, is Earth Day

4/22/2021 9:33 am

Did you know?  Earth Day started in the United States, conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, inspired by Vietnam War protests and a massive oil spill off the coast of California in 1969.  The first celebration of Earth Day was April 22, 1970.  In 2009, the United Nations officially designated it, "International Mother Earth Day" though it is still just Earth Day here in the United States.  Today, Earth Day is celebrated by over one billion people in 192 countries, making it the largest secular observance in the world.  

This year's theme is Restore the Earth.  If you are interested in learning more and/or viewing virtual Earth Day events, check out the official website at:  www.earthday.org. Maybe today you will ride a bicycle, walk to school, recycle, or start using only reusable water bottles.  Whatever you decide, definitely take some time to celebrate our beautiful planet!
