On April 22nd, people get together to celebrate and respect the environment.

The purpose of Earth Day is to raise environmental awareness and appreciation. International Mother Earth Day is the name given to the day by the UN.

What Individuals Do

The 22nd April Outdoor performances where individuals or groups carry out deeds of service to the planet are the norm for Earth Day celebrations. Planting trees, cleaning up roadside trash, running various recycling and conservation programs, and packing snacks and lunches in recyclable containers are all common ways people observe Earth Day. Some individuals are urged to sign petitions to governments urging stronger or faster action to halt global warming and reverse environmental destruction. Environmentally related programs are frequently broadcast on television.

Private Life

It’s not a holiday on Earth Day. There are no changes to the transportation schedules or business and school hours.

Background

Sen. Gaylord Nelson established Earth Day on April 22 in 1970 with the goal of promoting ecology, respect for all life on Earth, and raising public awareness of the mounting issues associated with soil, water, and air pollution.

Some individuals like celebrating Earth Day around the time of the March equinox. American anthropologist Margaret Mead lent her support to John McConnell’s equinox Earth Day in 1978. She said that choosing the March Equinox as Earth Day’s date allowed for the celebration of a common event on a global scale.

People often use drawings or images of the planet earth, trees, flowers, leaves, or the recycling symbol to represent Earth Day. Green, brown, and blue are examples of natural hues that are utilized in celebration of Earth Day.

John McConnell created the Earth Flag, which has been referred to as a “flag for all humanity.” It is composed of recyclable, weather-resistant polyester and has a two-sided dye printed picture of the Earth from orbit on a dark blue background. A flag depicting the Earth as viewed from space, according to Margaret Mead, would be suitable.
