Wishing everybody a Happy Earth Day!

Earth Day is celebrated on 22 April each year. The aim is to draw attention to, and show support for the environment. The first one was held in 1970. The theme this year is ‘Our Power, Our Planet’. All sorts of events will be taking place around the world, such as community cleaning; tree planting; and competitions in schools. Everyone is encouraged to do something for the planet during the week. The United Nations has written an article When Mother Earth sends us a message. Also National Geographic has a webpage for children.
