What Is Earth Day?
Every year on April 22, Earth Day reminds us of our shared responsibility to protect the planet we call home. First celebrated in 1970, it sparked the modern environmental movement and led to landmark policies like the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts in the United States.
Now observed by over a billion people in more than 190 countries, Earth Day unites individuals, governments, and organizations in a global push for sustainability and environmental action.
