Happy Earth Day, Young Farmers!!!!!
Earth Day is an annual event that is celebrated on the 22nd of April, on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
Earth Day was first held in 1970 (today is the 44th anniversary)-with 20 million people across the United States rallying for increased protection of the environment. Earth Day is celebrated in more than 192 countries each year, and is coordinated by the Earth Day Network (http://www.earthday.org/)
Like Earth Days of the past, Earth Day 2014 will focus on the unique environmental challenges of our time. As the world’s population migrates to cities, and as the bleak reality of climate change becomes increasingly clear, the need to create sustainable communities is more important than ever. Earth Day 2014 will seek to do just that through its global theme: Green Cities. With smart investments in sustainable technology, forward-thinking public policy, and an educated and active public, we can transform our cities and forge a sustainable future. Nothing is more powerful than the collective action of a billion people. (earthday.org)
