What It's All About

Earth Day is an annual celebration that honors the achievements of the environmental movement. It raises awareness of the need to protect Earth's natural resources for future generations. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 in the United States and most areas of the world. 

Why April 22?

 Earth Day falls on April 22. The day was chosen by the original event's organizer, Wisconsin Sen. Gaylord Nelson, for simple reasons. Earth Day was an event focused on college students. April 22 did not interfere with Spring Break, final exams, or major religious holidays such as Easter, and it was late enough in spring to anticipate decent weather for outdoor activities.
