EARTH EARTH DAY

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EARTH DAY?

In 1963 Senator Gaylord Nelson of the United States of America asked the president to tour the nation in order to focus attention on environmental issues. Although the tour was unsuccessful Senator Nelson did not give up on ecological issues. Six years later he had the idea for Earth Day

WHO CELEBRATES IT?

People all over the world except in a few countries celebrate Earth Day

HOW IS IT CELEBRATED?

People will usually celebrate in different ways like by walking to school, community clean up, recycling and composting etc. However our Earth doesn’t need us one day a year.So we must work everyday throughout the year to make a difference.

Walking to school

Community Clean up

Recycling

Saving Water and energy

Composting

Not littering

Using reusable containers

We have also started the composting program recently. Organic waste can decompose in the soil making it more fertile instead of going to a landfill which will pollute the land.
