Earth Day STEM Activities
Earth Day is celebrated April 22 each year. It is a day set aside to bring awareness to the importance of protecting our planet. The first official Earth Day was in 1970 in response to increasing oil spills, smog, and water pollution. All across the United States, there were protests and public gatherings with the intention of educating the public about the problems facing the environment.
Since 1970, Earth Day has grown into a global even with an estimated 1 billion people now participating around the world.
