April is considered Earth Month and next week is Earth Week because Earth Day falls at the end of the week. The very first Earth Day was celebrated 46 years ago on April 22nd, 1970. This day was set aside as a reminder for us to think about everything the earth provides for us; and to consider ways we can conserve these precious resources. Additionally this day serves as a huge reminder for us to clean up after ourselves.
"A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
