When is Earth Day celebrated?
Earth Day is April 22. Because events and festivals usually take place on a weekend, Earth Day is often observed on the weekends before or after April 22. Many communities also celebrate Earth Week or Earth Month with a series of environmental activities in April.
Why Earth Day?
Because it works! Earth Day broadens the base of support for environmental programs, rekindles public commitment, and involves a wide range of the participants.
