Earth Day is like a birthday party for our planet Earth! Just like you celebrate your birthday once a year, we celebrate Earth's birthday once a year too. But instead of getting presents, we give special attention to taking care of our planet.
This year, Earth Day is on a Sunday, which means we get to show our planet some extra love and attention on that day. We do this by making sure we pick up any litter we see on the ground, turning off lights when we're not using them, conserving water by not leaving the tap running, and using reusable bags instead of plastic ones when we go shopping.
Different people celebrate Earth Day in different ways, but the most important thing is to remember that we need to take care of our planet every day, not just on Earth Day. We only have one Earth, so it's important to treat it kindly so that it can continue to be a healthy and beautiful place to live.
