NEW YORK: It’s that time of year to honor Mother Nature in celebration of Earth Day.
Earth Day is celebrated April 22 and was established in 1970.
“Earth Day has grown to be one of the most widely celebrated events officially recognized by nearly all the world’s countries,” Dr. John Hasse, Rowan University Department of Geography & Environment chair, said Tuesday.
Earth Day was the result of growing awareness of the major impact that industrial society had on the global environment, according to Hasse.
“The first Earth Day was also related to the shifting vision of planet earth as the Apollo astronauts provided the first photographs of the whole earth in all of it’s delicate beauty,” Hasse said.
Earth is home, so why not take time to celebrate? Here are three ways you can get involved throughout the week in the celebration of our planet.
