Earth Day, April 22, 2014
By
Lauren
Did you know that in 2013
people used enough plastic water bottles to stretch around the Earth four
times?
Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 to
remind people to take care of our environment. It has been forty- four years since
then and people still celebrate Earth Day in over one hundred ninety- two countries
around the world. On Earth Day many people plant new trees and recycle.
Recycling is the simplest and most effective way to help our environment. Many
schools also clean up their neighborhoods by picking up garbage.
Finally, we should all try
our best to take care of God’s creation on April 22nd and every day.
P.S. Lauren and Julia N. are
very excited about Earth Day and will help promote the important theme of
taking care of God’s creation at our school.
