Happy Earth Day 2024! Every year on April 22, we celebrate Earth Day. This annual event is a time to focus on the environmental issues we have across the planet and highlight the efforts being made so we can continue to protect it.

Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22. It's a day aimed at raising awareness about the environment and climate change progress.

Six newly selected NASA airborne campaigns will focus on a range of studies focusing on Earth and its changing climate.

With the later days of April comes a time to celebrate all that nature entails; the one and only Earth Day — Monday, April 22 — in honor of our one and only Earth. This year, I found myself curious about the origins of Earth Day and the people who worked to bring the environment to the forefront of our societal consciousness at least once a year.
