Join In Celebrating
Earth-Day-Worldwide

The celebration of earth-day-worldwide for some, means a continuance of concerns for the planet and actively practicing a lifestyle which will preserve it. For others, hopefully it incites a new way of thinking, and following the same route.

Earth Day is clebrated on 2 different dates. The April 22nd date originated in the 1960's when it was first introduced by the former Senator Gaylord Nelson.

March 21st celebrates the spring-equinox. Since Spring
signifies new beginnings and re-birth, it is appropriate
to many people that Earth Day be celebrated at this time.

And so, different dates in both the Northern and Southern
hemispheres, but the concept and the passions are the same.
A sincere love for the planet Earth and the desire to preserve
it in any way possible is always the focus.

There are prominent public speakers who promote environmentally
responsible-living. Environmental issues are discussed and
the progress made in certain areas are announced.

Ongoing problems that are harming the earth and possible
solutions are explored.

The range of subject matter grows
every year as more concerns arise.


As more people have become familiar with Earth Day, more and
more countries have become involved. There are Fairs and
Festivals with food, dancing, entertainment and even parades.

Some of these events promote specific areas of interest, like
organic farming and alternative energy to name a few.

The message is simple, and that is to educate the
population about what is happening with our planet, and how
we as a people can improve our conditions and surroundings.

Could It Be Your Target Date For Change?


Some people actually use Earth Day as their target date to
meet the goals they have set for themselves to improve their
own conditions. Some use it as the day to begin making
positive contributions to the Earth-Day-Worldwide movement.

Needless to say, Earth Day is celebrated in classrooms
around the globe.

What better group than young minds to instill a passion
for the Earth and the desire to preserve it?

The classes hold and present activities like environmental
fairs, games, plays that demonstrate environmental issues,
special projects and displays. It could even involve a
special field-trip.

These activites are presented to the public and sometimes
involve the public directly as well.
