Earth Day Celebrates Beauty of Our Planet

We've got the whole world in our hands. That's the message of Earth Day, recognized worldwide on April 22 since 1970. Originated by U.S. Senator Gaylor Nelson of Wisconsin, Earth Day is a day to celebrate our earth's natural beauty.

Grassroots support for Earth Day is credited with galvanizing environmental reform in the United States. Celebrated in millions of communities and schools worldwide, Earth Day has become a focus for efforts to educate people about protecting our natural resources and a time for initiating environmental renewal programs. Schools, communities and Scout troops across the country will be planting trees this weekend to celebrate Earth Day. Take a moment to spend some time outside and enjoy the beauty of our Earth.
