When Was The First Earth Day?

The first Earth Day happened on April 22, 1970. Ever since, Earth Day has always happened on the same day. 

Back on the inaugural Earth Day, an estimated 20 million took part in events across the United States. With every passing year, the popularity of Earth Day continues to grow as more people look to become more environmentally conscious. 

How Many Years Will The Earth Day Celebrate In 2025

Since Earth Day began in 1970, 2025 will mark a staggering 55 years of Earth Day initiatives! 

Who Made Earth Day?

Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day in 1970. The reason was that at the time, there was no environmental agenda or real push to protect the planet within the United States. 

Which Image Is The Best Choice For Convincing High School Students To Plant A Tree On Earth Day?

We’re potentially showing our age here, but how about the real location of the Windows XP screensaver? The image is thought to be the most viewed photograph of all time and was taken near the Napa–Sonoma county line in 1998. 

Unlike the lush green rolling hills that would greet us every time we opened our computers, the land now looks parched and well, a little less healthy than it did when it was the world's most popular screensaver.

So, if you want the Earth to look a little greener, you should definitely plant more trees! If you’re not a high school student but a business, you’ll be interested to know that EcoSend plants trees when you send emails through our platform

What Was The Hottest Day On Earth?

On 10 July 1913, the recorded temperatures reached 56.7°C (134.1°F). The location of the hottest day on Earth was Furnace Creek Ranch which is in Death Valley in the United States. 

Why Is Earth Day Celebrated?

Earth Day began because senators at the time (back in the 1970s) felt like the environment just wasn’t on the agenda. Since then, Earth Day has continued to raise awareness of various environmental issues that ultimately impact us all. 

Is Today Earth Day?

If today is April 22 for you, then it is indeed Earth Day! But if it’s another day, then did you know you can still do your bit for the planet? For instance, if you send emails, discover these top tips to reduce your email carbon footprint
