about earth day
Earth Day is an annual celebration held around the world on April 22nd.
Earth Day was designed to highlight the intrinsic value and fragility of our planet, and to encourage the protection of Earth’s precious resources. First celebrated in 1970 at the suggestion of activist John McConnell, Earth Day is now a United Nations-sanctioned holiday observed in 192 countries each year.
An idea born out of a troubled time, Earth Day and related events serve as a time to focus on the environment, its current problems, and the challenges we face if we are to solve them. But, most importantly, it’s a time to start changing how we treat our planet!
Why we Celebrate with trees
There is no better way to celebrate Earth Day than with trees.
Here are just a few of the many reasons why:
🌲 Trees absorb CO₂ , produce life-giving oxygen and improve air quality.
🌲 Trees moderate temperatures.
🌲 Trees reduce soil erosion, flooding, and water pollution.
🌲 Trees provide wildlife habitat and food.
🌲 Trees make us feel better emotionally!
If these aren’t reason enough to get involved with an Earth Day giveaway or tree promotion, then you should know that such an event is a fantastic opportunity for your company, organization or brand. With Jonsteen’s help, you can hold a fun event that will increase your visibility while making a positive impact on your community and the planet.
