Celebrate Our Planet on Earth Day!

Hello and welcome to my lens all about Earth Day and the environment!

On here you will find out a little bit about Earth Day, as well as links to related websites, books and apparel. 

This is a festival which may be swept under the carpet by most, but what it has done in the past, and the potential it has for the future is something not to be ignored.  Show your respect for Mother Earth!  We CAN make a difference to our planet!

So what is Earth Day? 

A brief introduction

Earth Day is an annual festival held on the 22nd of April to celebrate our humble planet and to raise awareness of an ecological nature. There are two different festivals with the same name, the other is held on the spring equinox (21st March) started in 1969 by John McConnell. Both festivals are supported by the United Nations.

The larger Earth Day festival first started in 1970 led by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, who wanted a day to raise awareness of environmental issues and to prompt discussion and debate. It was observed by over 20 million people, and has been gaining support worldwide ever since.

After the first Earth Day there were many new bills passed of an environmental nature in the US. From a clean air bill to laws that protected the land, ocean and endangered species.

37 years on and we still have ecological worries which need to be addressed, a prime example being global warming and CO2 emissions.
