Earth Day
Doing Our Part to Protect the Planet
Earth Day is such an important holiday that falls on the 22nd of April every year. But not enough people celebrate it, or even know much about it! Everyone should do their part to save the Earth, not just on this special day, but every day.
The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when people began a protest about stopping pollution and other environmental issues. Today, Earth Day is celebrated in almost every country! This is wonderful because everyone should be able to learn how to make a positive impact on the world, no matter how small that impact is. Our Earth is home to millions of plants and animals, and we need to protect it.
Right now, you might be thinking, “I want to help the Earth, but I don’t know how!” Here are a few easy suggestions to celebrate Earth Day with your family. If you love being outdoors, why not plant some flowers or a tree? Or if gardening isn’t your thing, take a nature walk and pick up trash along the way! One of the simplest things to do (you can do this every day, too!) is to make sure you turn off the lights when you leave the room. Also, turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth. These may not seem like things that will change anything, but if everybody does it, it can make a huge impact. One way I celebrate Earth Day is to recycle as much as I can. If you finish a box of cereal, put it in the recycling bin, not the trash can. Then it can be reused.
What is your way of celebrating Earth Day? Try to do your part every day to save our only home!
