Earth Day April 22nd

 

April 18, 2024



The first Earth Day celebration was in 1970 and continues to be celebrated each spring. It brings to light the need to protect the environment for existing and future generations. Many achievements have been accomplished, including recycling programs, cleaner air and water as well as an awareness of the small actions of the individual. It’s a great day to see how we can take small steps to improve our environment. Some ideas could include starting to compost kitchen scraps, walking or cycling to a destination and carpooling. This celebration has now become a world-wide event bringing together 10 countries and one billion participants. Future goals include renewable energy, green jobs, biodiversity and continuing education. Urban gardening, litter clean up campaigns and reusable materials are also an important component of the efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle.
