Today is Earth Day, an annual event first held on April 22, 1970, to show support for environmental protection. It is a time to reflect on how amazing our planet is and to recognise the important role we all play in looking after it. This year’s theme, Our Power, Our Planet, reminds us that even small actions can make a big difference. Whether it’s reducing waste, saving energy, or caring for nature, we all have the power to help our planet thrive—both now and for future generations.
Earth Day
Earth Day
by Jane Yolen
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.
That's why we
Celebrate this day.
That's why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
