Did you know that our planet has a special day? Every year, on the 22nd of April, we celebrate Earth Day. On this day we remind ourselves and others how precious the Earth is and how important it is to look after it.

Earth Day was the idea of American Senator Gaylord Nelson.The Senator was a sensitive man who couldn't bear watching our planet suffers.Rivers and seas were getting dirty, many of our plants and animals were becoming extinct and not many people knew. Therefore, he decided to take care of the Earth.

The Senator started by writing letters to colleges, to inform students and teachers about his campaign. He also wrote an article for Scholastic Magazines presenting his idea about the special day he was planning.He hoped that young people around the country would react positively. Fortunately, they did!

As a result, on April 22nd, 1970, twenty million people across America celebrated the first Earth Day. People all over the country made promises to respect and look after the environment. Since then, Earth Day has been celebrated all over the planet.

Today on Earth Day people organize fund-raising events, such as concerts, parades, festivals, tree-planting excursions and clean-up campaigns. Children design and make objects at school, such as birds feeders and Earth Day wreaths and all of us promise to turn every day into Earth Day!
