Earth Day is a day for appreciating our planet, and reminding ourselves of good habits. Use less energy, produce less waste, and help restore dwindling species of plants and animals alike. There are many ways that people can celebrate Earth Day. Some people might take a little time to enjoy the outdoors, and some people will make a conscious effort to conserve energy or clean up litter.
Issues like climate change, the consumption of fossil fuels, industrial pollution, littering, endangered animals, and so on, affect future generations. Students need to know what environmental problems there are so they, as an upcoming generation, can take steps to solve those problems.
