Earth Day

[spinning earth]

21 March? or 22 April?

Due to differing religious belief systems, uncertainty exists as to when Earth Day officially occurs.

International Earth Day (non-religious) claims Earth Day occurs on the 21st of March when the Spring/Vernal Equinox occurs, while Earth Day Network (religous) proclaims Earth Day is on April 22nd. Earth Day - US Government Portal -- located at EarthDay.gov -- says Earth Day is 22 April.

There is also disagreement about who founded Earth Day -- was it John McConnell or Gaylord Nelson? One area of agreement is that Earth Day was started by somebody here on earth around 1970.

Every day should be an Earth Day!
