Q&A for How to Celebrate Earth Day

Start by deciding what kind of event you'd like to organize and what your goals are for the event. Then, create a game plan and enlist friends/family/classmates to help you roll it out. If you want to organize something at your school, be sure to get permission from school officials first.

Definitely! It's not easy to talk to government officials one-on-one, so your best bet is to contact their office. For example, you can write them a letter about your concerns or send them an email.

You can help stop pollution by not littering, and pick up trash when you can. Take alternative forms of transportation when possible (carpool, buses, bikes). Plant trees in your yard to help filter the air, and avoid using pesticides. Use paper wisely, and reduce, reuse, recycle. Don't leave the water running or waste electricity, and ask your friends and family to follow your examples.

Yes, as they take less electricity than CFLs, are brighter, last longer, and don't produce harmful substances upon breaking.

Technically, Earth Day is every day. We all can take care of our environment each and every day. Each year, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.

Earth Day was invented by Gaylord Nelson on April 22nd 1970 because he was annoyed that the environment was never mentioned in politics or by the media.

Find and label four boxes: plastics, glass, paper, and non-recyclables. For the week (or more) leading up to Earth Day, organize all of your trash into those four boxes. On Earth Day, take all of the recyclable materials from your first three boxes to your nearest recycling facility.

Among the largest are the giant sequoia trees near the northern California coast. Perhaps the largest plant in the world is "Pando" in Utah. It's a very large clump of aspen trunks sharing a single root system.

Respecting the environment is important, as it provides much of what you need for your daily life. If you fail to take care of the environment, you'll be affected negatively.

Celebrating Earth Day helps bring people together with a common goal: make the planet a better, more beautiful place. Doing activities, such as planting trees and picking up trash, can also make your community more beautiful.

There isn't a specific food you should be cooking on Earth Day, but you could try cooking with only organic or local foods.

It is an international holiday, and people in many countries do celebrate.

There are many different ways to reuse plastic containers. Creating a bird feeder or planters are a few. But you can still always put it into a recycling bin (as long as it's not #6 plastic) so it can be reused.

If you have homework, or your parents just won't let you outside, you can use Ecosia, which is a "search engine that plants trees." Or you can ask a friend to help.

If cultured meat is an option for you, go for it. Eating a predator's leftovers may make you sick, and can interfere with local wildlife - some predators return for more later, and scavengers (like vultures) depend on leftover kills.

It depends how committed they are. If they have a social media platform or website, they can share it there. They can also make some posters and go to a march if there is one happening.

It's simply called Earth Day because it is about protecting the planet Earth.
