Earth Day Quiz

The first Earth Day celebration took place on April 22, 1970, a date that many consider to be the birth of the modern environmental movement.The purpose of Earth Day is to bring national attention to issues impacting the Earth and ways to help protect the environment so that future generations may also enjoy it.In 2012, recycling helped turn over 65 million tons of trash headed to landfills into new products. The three R’s of the environment are: Reduce (generating less waste each day); Reuse (using products multiple times instead of discarding them); and Recycle (collecting products so they can be turned into news ones). In December 1970, 7 months after the first Earth Day celebration, the U.S. Congress created the Environmental Protection Agency to monitor and protect the environment. Trees help the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.Carpooling, using public transportation and riding your bike all help reduce the number of cars on the roads, which helps reduce the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere.In 2011, 177 million pounds of litter and debris were collected by volunteers throughout the country during the Great American Cleanup event. By recycling bottles and cans, using less water when bathing, and composting food waste, you are actively practicing the three R’s of the environment and helping to protect the environment!
