WHAT IS EARTH DAY?
Earth Day is a name used for two different observances, both held annually during spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and during autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day -- which was founded by John McConnell in 1969 -- each year on the March equinox.
In addition, a global observance -- originated by Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in, and since January 1970 also called Earth Day -- is celebrated in many countries (including the US) each year on April 22.
Let's all take a moment today to think about what we can do to be more efficient in our efforts to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replenish, & Restore our environments.
I've already begun recycling and went through my whole apartment and changed the light bulbs. I'm a work in progress but doing the best that I can to be a more earth conscious person! Thanks for the Earth Day wishes!
