What is Earth day? Earth day history
Earth Day is April 22, but the environment has become an overriding concern year-round. Our declining environment is more complex since 1962, when scientist-writer Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring,” raising an alarm over the impact of pesticides on our food chain. Earth Day asks that we protect our resources before it’s too late. Because “too late” is getting closer.
