Global Birthday Party. Earth Day happens on April 22 every single year, and it's like a worldwide birthday party for our planet! About 1 billion people in more than 193 countries join in with events and activities.

Started in 1970. The very first Earth Day took place on April 22, 1970, when people decided we needed a special day to remind everyone how important it is to take care of nature.

People Power for Nature. On Earth Day, communities organize all kinds of events, planting trees, cleaning up parks, giving talks about pollution, and making promises to live more sustainably.

Connects Everyone. Earth Day is coordinated around the world through a website called earthday.org, which helps bring all these events together and shows how many people care about the same things.
