Youth for Earth Day 2022!

Every April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day, a day dedicated to celebrate and preserve our planet. It is not only a special day in the town where you live, but a day that the whole world participates in! Often there are celebrations, events or campaigns that concern us with earth matters.

Earth day was first celebrated in 1970 and brought nature-loving individuals together and continues to pave the way to a more environmentally-friendly future.
