 - You can see the Earth day flag.

-  According to the legend this symbol we created as a combination of the letters e and  o from the words environment and organism. This flag was also based on the Stars and Stripes of US flag. Green was substituted in place of blue and red. The founder of Earth day was an American senator Gaylord Nelsonwho was strongly concerned with the Earth`s welfare and wanted to do something about it.

• So, in my opinion, we are the Earth and we shouldn`t forget that we belong to it. Let`s sing the song “ I am the Earth”.

I am the river flowing

I am the desert dry

I am the four winds blowing

I am the sunset sky

I am the forest breathing

I am the ocean wide

I am the storm clouds gathering

I am the mountain high

I am the Earth

I am the Earth

I am the Earth

I am the Earth

We are the children growing

You are the place we live

We are the seed you’re sowing

We are the life you give

We are the future rising

We will be your voice

We will watch and learn from you

We will make the choice

CHORUS

I am the Earth

You're in our hands

I am the Earth

We’re in your care

I am the Earth

Together we stand

I am the Earth

This moment in time we share
