Q: Also, where is it celebrated? Do many people know about it? Where does it originatE? etc
A: Earth Day, a global holiday to celebrate the wonder of life on our planet. Earth day is on the 22nd of april 2006. It is really meaningful. One that might be accepted universally for all of humankind. Earth Day, April 22, is the annual celebration of the environment and a time to assess the work still needed to protect the natural gifts of our planet. Earth Day has no central organizing force behind it though several nongovernmental organizations work to keep track of the thousands of local events in schools and parks that mark the day. Earth Day is observed around the world, although nowhere is it a national holiday. In the United States, it affirms that environmental awareness is part of the country's consciousness and that the idea of protecting the environment - once the province of a few conservationists - has moved from the extreme to the mainstream of American thought
