Ход мероприятия

EARTH DAY

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22.
It has spread all over the World.
Earth Day is our special day to look at our
Planet and see what needs changing. 

1. THE HISTORY OF EARTH DAY

Former Senator Gaylord Nelson was the person who initiated the movement for the protection of the environment. He understood that our world was getting dirty and that many of our plants and animals were dying. He wondered why more people were not trying to solve these problems. He talked to other lawmakers and to the President. They decided that the President would go around the country and tell people about these concerns.

Then, in 1969, Senator Nelson had another idea. He decided to have a special day to teach everyone about the things that needed changing in our environment. He wrote letters to all of the colleges and put a special article in Scholastic Magazine to tell them about the special day he had planned.

On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. People all over the country made promises to help the environment. Everyone got involved and since then, Earth Day has spread all over the planet. People all over the world know that there are problems we need to work on and this is our special day to look at the planet and see what needs changing. Isn't it great? One person had an idea and kept working until everyone began

working together to solve it.
