Earth Day started in the USA, but now it's celebrated all around the world. The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970, and it was created by a U.S. senator named Gaylord Nelson to raise awareness about pollution and protecting nature. Millions of people in the United States joined in that first year.
Since then, Earth Day has grown into a global event. Today, people in more than 190 countries take part in Earth Day activities like planting trees, cleaning up parks and beaches, and learning how to protect the environment. So even though it began in the USA, Earth Day now belongs to everyone on the planet.
Earth Day reminds us that even small actions can make a big difference. Recycling, saving water, and using less electricity are all ways to help the Earth. When we take care of nature, we make the world a better place for ourselves and for future generations. Every day can be Earth Day if we all do our part.
