Do your kids seem to know more about Earth Day than you do? It’s not uncommon these days! Schools are really emphasizing the importance of taking care of our planet, and Earth Day is a big part of that. Every April 22nd since 1970, people all over the world have been celebrating. They hold rallies, do demonstrations, and work on projects to help the environment. It’s amazing how this movement has spread to over 140 countries! Did you know that Earth Day even led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency?
So, what exactly do people do on Earth Day? Well, they become what National Geographic calls “waste warriors”! They focus on things like cutting down on plastic bottles, which can take hundreds of years to break down in landfills. Serious activists promote recycling, plant trees to help clean the air, and make sure to conserve water. These eco-aware kids are even coming home from school asking their parents if they’re doing enough to save energy! After all, they’re the ones who will inherit the planet when we’re gone.
