This guide explores the origins, goals, and ways to participate in Earth Day.
What is Earth Day?
Earth Day is an annual event that began in 1970 as a grassroots movement to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote conservation efforts. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, who was inspired by the anti-war movement and wanted to bring environmental issues to the forefront of national attention. Since its inception, Earth Day has grown into a global movement, with millions of people participating in events and activities aimed at protecting the environment.
"Celebrate, educate, and take action for our planet."
