            is declared
             Earth Day
          initiative of the
           international
             movement
       Earth Day Network.
         This day aims at
        uniting people in
          environmental
            protection -
       Celebration of clean
        water, land and air
History of the day

      In 1872 the minister of
      agriculture in USA
      proposed to choose a
      day of the year for
      planting and called it the
      Tree day. 22nd April was
      chosen – it was the
      minister’s birthday. In
      1970 it was renamed and
      called the Earth Day
History of the day
        Ten years later, this
      holiday became official
      for the U.S. on April 22
     (the birthday of Morton).
     In 1970, on the initiative
       of Nelson “Tree Day”
      got a new name: "Earth
               Day".
Second version

On 22 April there was
  an oil leakage in a
small American town.
   All citizens and
 volunteers from the
    whole country
contributed to saving
     the nature.
Second version
The famous American scientist -
environmentalist Denis Hayes
turned to the world community
with an appeal by April 22, 1990 to
begin the celebration of "Earth
Day" and every person to
contribute to landscaping and
planning of their home planet and
its natural monuments.
The Earth Day today
              Today
           147 countries
         contribute to this
         day by organizing
            ecological
             activities
In Bulgaria
We started organizing
  this day in 1990
