Earth Day by Alamoni

 Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 to establish support for environmental protection. it was First celebrated in 1970 and has continued on till this day and now over one billion people in 192 countries celebrate this.
Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson came up with the idea for a national day to focus on the environment.

Lastly to celebrate this you could do some garden in your backyard and try planting some flowers or if you want you could plant things that can be used in you life like potatoes, lettuce, blueberries, and more, so when doing this you can make the world a little more brighter for the next generation.

"The fate of the living planet is the most important issue facing mankind"
