The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970 \u2013 <strong>53 years <\/strong>ago. A lot has happened in that time, but there\u2019s still plenty of work to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I celebrate Earth Day?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day! Ask a parent to take a look at where you live to see if there are any events being organized. Can\u2019t find anything? Don\u2019t worry. Here are a few ideas on how you can go about it yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>organize a litter clean-up in your neighborhood<\/li><li>plant a tree or some flowers<\/li><li>limit your water waste<\/li><li>turn off the lights when you leave the room<\/li><li>spread the word about Earth Day<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these idea might be closely connected to missions on the Earth Rangers app \u2013 be sure to take a look and accept those you want to do.

You can also celebrate in the comment by sharing any cool rare or unknown animal facts you want more people to know about.
