Earth Day 2012

On April 22, 1970, 20 million people brought awareness to environmental issues during a demonstration. If you would like to read more about Gaylord Nelson's accomplishments through this demonstration and how we can help our Earth, Scholastic News has great information.

Our class discussed ways we could reduce, reuse, and recycle. I was pleased to hear many students are already helping our environment by doing these things. After our discussion, they created an Earth Guy and expressed on their Earth Guy how they would help the planet.
