The
first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when a United
States senator from Wisconsin organized
a national demonstration to raise awareness about environmental issues. Rallies
took place across the country and, by the end of the year, the U.S. government
had created the Environmental Protection Agency. By 1990, Earth Day was an event
celebrated by more than 140 countries around the globe. Our planet is an
amazing place, but it needs our help to thrive! That’s why each year on April
22, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet from
things like pollution and deforestation.
By taking part in activities like
picking up litter and planting trees, we’re making our world a happier,
healthier place to live.
