What is Earth Day?
Ever wondered how Earth Day started?
The first Earth Day was April 22nd, 1970. The idea
was to raise awareness about our role in protecting
our natural world.
It’s hard to believe today but many people were not
aware of some serious environmental issues — from
air pollution to toxic dumps, to pesticides, to loss of
wilderness.

It started out as more of a political movement,
though today it was become a popular day for
many communities to clean up litter, plant trees, or
simply reflect on nature.
It was in 1970, that Wisconsin Senator Gaylord
Nelson and an activist John McConnell
separately asked Americans to join in a grassroots
demonstration. McConnell chose the spring equinox
(March 21st, 1970) and Nelson chose April 22nd.
“O Spring-time sweet!
The whole Earth smiles, thy coming to greet.”

Earth Day is always celebrated on April 22. It’s
followed closely by Arbor Day, which falls on the last

Earth Day Quotes and Poetry
“The thirsty earth soaks up the rain,
And drinks, and gapes for drink again.
The plants suck in the earth and are
With constant drinking fresh and fair.”
— Abraham Cowley
“Summer, fall, winter, spring,
The seasons rotate as each brings
Its special beauty to this Earth of ours.
Winter’s snow and summer’s flowers;
Frozen rivers will flow come spring,
There is a renewal of everything.”
— Edna Frohock
“While the bright radiant sun in centre glows,
The earth in annual motion round it goes;
At the same time on its own axis reels,
And gives us change of seasons as it wheels.”
— The 1793 Old Farmer’s Almanac
