April 1970. Since then, the Earth Day network also known as Earthday.org has mobilized more than 1 billion people per year on Earth Day and every other day to protect the planet,” says the website.
The first day in the world was observed in 1971 on April 22, when the UN Secretary General at Thant organized a special ceremony at the UN headquarters in New York.

Many events, gatherings and campaigns are organized for education around the world on this day.
