Earth Day
Earth Day 2011 Theme: A Billion Acts of Green
Earth Day is a launch pad for course-changing, positive environmental action. Since 1970, Earth Day has activated individuals and organizations 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 behavioral change and channel quantifiable action on behalf of the environment.
the planet. The Earth Day campaign aims to combat climate change by driving substantive behavioral 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
Earth Day 2010 will start with the World People’s Conference on Climate Change, to be held in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and with the International Year of Biodiversity.
