Since April 22, 1970, more than 1 billion have been mobilized annually to observe Earth Day—the day set aside specifically to honor our planet. People all over the world engage in education, events and volunteer work to help protect and beautify the earth.
It is a reminder to assess our consumption habits by recycling and getting better educated about global warming.
