Earth day

Let’s protect the nature

About Earth Day• Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and

appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by  U.S Senator Gaylond Nelson  as an environmental teachin in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year. Earth Day is celebrated in spring in the Northern Homisphere Many communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues.

• In the U.S, Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the spring equinox, which is often 20 March. This is a tradition which was founded by peace activist John Mcconnel in 1969. The United Nations first celebrated Earth Day on the spring equinox in 1971. This was also the first time ever that the United Nations celebrated Earth Day. The first Earth Day on the spring equinox was also in 1970.

• Earth Day is similar to World Environment Day

First Earth day• U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin announced his idea

for a nationwide teach-in day on the environment in a speech to a fledgling conservation group in Seattle on 20 September 1969, and then again six days later in Atlantic City to a meeting of the United Auto Workers. Senator Nelson hoped that a grassroots outcry about environmental issues might prove to Washington, D.C. just how distressed Americans were in every constituency. When grassroots activities ballooned beyond the capacity of his Senate office staff, Nelson staffed a temporary office with college students and appointed Denis Hayes as coordinator of activities, but it soon became clear that Earth Day was a full-blown movement. There were autonomous groups organizing in cities large and small including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Des Moines, Albuquerque, and many more. Nelson and his staff did not have the time nor resources to organize the estimated 20 million demonstrators and thousands of schools and local communities that participated.
