EARTH
DAY
In ancient India, over 2,003
years ago, as annual public works projects, kings and emperors planted
trees along the roads to provide shade for weary travelers.
Today, people all over the
world are working hard to keep our planet green. Earth Day (sometimes
called Earth Week) is a time put aside each year to remind us all how
important it is to accomplish this goal. These sites explain why it's so
important to keep our planet green, and what we can do to help.
Have fun learning about Earth
