Earth Day 2010 - 40th Anniversary

A celebration of the planet and a call to action, Earth Day is one of the largest civic events in the world, with almost one billion people participating in activities each year.

The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970. In 2010, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of this great day, and all of the great work that has been accomplished in the past for the planet.

Roots & Shoots members - who never need an excuse to get out and take action – celebrate Earth Day through projects that give back to the environment and improve life for the humans and animals that live there.  Join members this year and plan your own Earth Day project!
