EARTH DAY

Earth Day is a launch pad for course-changing, positive environmental action. Since 1970, Earth Day has activated individuals and organisations annually to strengthen the collective fight against man's exploitive relationship with the planet. The Earth Day campaign aims to combat climate change by driving substantive behavioural change and channel quantifiable action on behalf of the environment.

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22.
Why only 22 April?

Because it did not fall during exams or spring breaks, did not conflict with religious holidays and was late enough in spring to have decent weather.

Founder of Earth Day: Senator Gaylord Nelson.
First Earth Day: April 22, 1970
