This section contains information, lessons and ideas to help teachers and students celebrate Earth Day and to learn about their environment. Earth Day is celebrated by schools, communities and organizations honoring the first Earth Day in April of 1970. Please contact Kathleen Rocco at 216-443-3731 if you would like a speaker for your Earth Day celebration. Every day should be Earth Day!
