Earth Day celebration is an event observed annually in April. The history of this day can be traced all the way back to April 22, 1970. It is a day held to demonstrate and promote environmental awareness and calls for the protection of our beautiful planet. Although it was originally foreseen as an American event, today, Earth Day is celebrated in more than 193 countries around the world each year.
Earth Day is an important day for people around the world to take the time out of their busy lives to consider the impact that humanity has on the environment and for taking steps to reduce, reuse, recycle and repurpose so we all can live happier and healthier.
