Earth Day

The Impact Girl Scouts Can Have

What is Earth Day?

Earth Day is a day for people to protect the earth’s environment…all the baby animals and plants

The first Earth Day, in 1970, focused on ecology, respecting life on Earth, and raising awareness of different types of pollution (soil, air, and water)

What is Ecology?

Ecology is how animals and plants, the weather, and people interact, or work together

(Daisies) Who has learned about farm animals? What are some animals?

(Brownies) Who has learned about different animals that live in the ocean? What are some of those animals?

What is Pollution?

Pollution is anything on the land, in the water, or in the air that is harmful.

Can somebody give me an example of pollution? (Daisies)

Can somebody give me an example of soil pollution (land), water pollution, and air pollution? (Brownies)
