Earth Day now happens every year, it happens every year on the 22nd of April. This year marks a special year for Earth Day, as it reaches a special milestone birthday.
The first-ever Earth Day was one the 22nd of April 1970, which means that this year's Earth Day celebrates the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
Earth Day was established in 1970 as a way to dedicate a day to raise awareness about the environment. Since then, it’s evolved into not just a day to raise awareness about the environment, but also a day to celebrate the natural world and wild animals.
Today, Earth Day is celebrated by most countries across the world - it is celebrated in 190 countries today, which means only five countries don’t participate in Earth Day.
