          Ang Earth Day ay isang araw sa bawat taon kung saan ang buong daigdig ay sama-sama at nagkakaisa sa pagpapalaganap ng kamalayan hinggil sa pangangalaga ng Inang Kalikasan.

          Alam niyo ba na ang kauna-unahang ginanap na Earth Day – April 22, 1970 – ay siya ring ika-100 anibersaryo ng kapanganakan ni Vladimir Lenin, ang “Ama ng Communist Russia?” Kaya nga marami ang nagtaas ng kilay at naghinala na mayroong subersibong elemento ang pagdiriwang na ito. Subalit ayon kay United States Senator Gaylord Nelson, napili niya ang araw na ito para ganapin ang “teach-in” o pagtuturo ng kamalayan sa kapaligiran dahil sa buong linggong sumasakop sa araw na ito ay maluwag na makadadalo ang mga mag-aaral upang makinig sa mga talakayan.
