About Earth Day

Earth Day was founded in 1970 by John McDonnell (from the United States). It used to be celebrated on the first day of Spring (the March Equinox) and still is by many people. As a worldwide celebration, April 22 is the more recognized date.

Earth day is intended for all of us to recognize how we influence our limited resources from our planet. There are often activities, campaigns and events scheduled on this day to promote awareness of Earth issues. You may choose to participate in a local event or start your own! Some ideas that you could put in motion are:

  • Pick up trash on the playground
  • Help Mom and Dad with recycling garbage at home
  • Plant a tree
