Earth Day is here again—April 22nd! It’s a day when people all over the world pause to appreciate our planet and think about how we can take better care of it. Whether you’re planting your first tree or just learning about recycling, every little effort counts.
🌍 What Is Earth Day All About?
Earth Day started back in 1970 as a way to raise awareness about pollution and environmental problems. Today, it’s a global movement. People from all walks of life come together to do something positive for the planet—whether that’s picking up trash, saving energy, or just learning how to live a little greener.
🌱 Why It Still Matters
Our Earth gives us everything—clean air, water, food, and beautiful places to enjoy. But things like climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation are taking a toll. Earth Day is a chance to hit pause and ask: “What can I do to help?”
The good news? You don’t need to be perfect. Even small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference over time.
