Earth Day
Many countries around
the world celebrate
Earth Day. It is a day
that is meant to raise
awareness and
appreciation about the
Earth's natural
environment.
The first Earth Day was held in the USA. It was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in - a sort of general
educational forum or seminar. That was on April
22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national
coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations.Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth
Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175
countries every year. Numerous communities
celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day.
