Why do we celebrate Earth Day?

By: Lydia Millyon

Earth Day is a beautiful time to celebrate how amazing our planet is.

If you feel like now in 2021 many people don't care about climate change well it was far worst throughout history. So that is why Senator Gaylord Nelson started Earth Day in April 1970 in order to start a conversation that can lead to a political agenda.

Without Earth Day we wouldn't have EPA, the Clean Air Act, and the Clean Water Act which help fight climate change and global warming.

So I highly recommend you show the Earth some love because we only have one.

Things you can do to celebrate Earth Day!

• Go on a walk

• Partake in gardening

• Ride your bike

• Avoid eating meat

• Avoid driving your car

• Do your work outside

• Watch an Earth documentary

• Indulge in conversation about climate change

• Do yoga outside

Whatever way you celebrate the earth, also protect it!
