Let&#8217;s take a look at its history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It was when Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson and San Francisco activist John McConnell separately urged people to participate in a grassroots protest. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An impressive 20 million Americans\u201410% of the population\u2014went outside and protested in response to the extremely serious issues of toxic drinking water, air pollution, and pesticide effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>McConnell initially wanted to celebrate on March 20, the spring equinox, but Nelson suggested April 22, which ultimately became the day. (Given that the date of the spring equinox changes over time, it may have made things more complicated to go with the astronomical event rather than just a calendar date.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dbe99e\"><strong>Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-social-work-day\/\">World Social Work Day 2023<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"576\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAAJAAQMAAAApW4aWAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAF5JREFUeNrtwQEBAAAAgiD\/r25IQAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO8GIk8AAbOpTZoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"earth day fact\"  class=\"wp-image-765423 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/cdnblogdiscover.leverageedu.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/New-Blog-Infographics-Creatives-2-6-1024x576.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/04\/13095931\/New-Blog-Infographics-Creatives-2-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/04\/13095931\/New-Blog-Infographics-Creatives-2-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/04\/13095931\/New-Blog-Infographics-Creatives-2-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/04\/13095931\/New-Blog-Infographics-Creatives-2-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/04\/13095931\/New-Blog-Infographics-Creatives-2-6-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogassets.leverageedu.com\/media\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/04\/13095931\/New-Blog-Infographics-Creatives-2-6.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Theme of World Earth Day 2024?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme for World Earth Day 2024 is, <em>\u201cPlanet vs. Plastics\u201d<\/em>.

Instead, if everyone became vegan, emissions would drop by about 70%.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thrift clothes:<\/strong> By thrifting clothes, you can prevent the use of new resources to create garments that will ultimately be recycled, reused, or disposed of. According to some studies, buying things online is better for the environment because it uses about 30% fewer resources than traditional retail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
