EARTH DAY
Earth
Day celebrations take place in March and April. Two celebrations
are better than one!
APRIL 22 - U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, one
of the founders of the April 22 Earth Day, introduced the idea
to then President John F Kennedy in the early 1960s. Earth Day
proved extremely popular in the United States and around the
world.
MARCH 21 - The United Nations marks Earth Day
each year on the vernal
equinox (March 21). This Earth Day was founded by John McConnell,
a newspaper publisher and the designer of the Earth Flag.
