What is Earth Day?

Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year, Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues.

But why was April 22 chosen as Earth Day? One persistent rumor holds that April 22 was chosen because it’s the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union. Vladimir Lenin’s aim was to destroy private property, a goal shared by environmentalists.
