Earth Day happens every year on April 22. It is a special day for us to think about the environment and how we can protect it. In 2025, the theme is “Our Power, Our Planet,” encouraging everyone to use clean energy and reduce pollution. Singapore is joining the celebration with exciting events and activities.
The Story Behind Earth Day
Earth Day started more than 50 years ago, in 1970. Senator Gaylord Nelson from the United States had an idea after witnessing a huge oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, in 1969. He wanted people to pay more attention to pollution and environmental problems. The first Earth Day happened on April 22, 1970, and around 20 million people joined across America to show they cared about the planet.
Over the years, Earth Day became popular around the world. Today, more than 190 countries celebrate Earth Day, making it one of the largest global movements for environmental protection.
Why Earth Day is Important
Earth Day reminds us of our responsibility to care for our planet. Issues like climate change, pollution, deforestation, and plastic waste affect everyone. Earth Day helps us learn more about these problems and shows us how small changes in our daily lives can help protect our Earth.
