Earth Day

April 22, 2003 is Earth Day. Earth Day's purpose is to educate people about the problems our environment and planet are facing, and teach the general public what they can do to help. The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, and was originally geared towards school-aged children. It still targets this group, but people of all ages get involved every year.

Search for books on our environment and its crises, and what you can to do to help.
