What's On For Earth Day - North East



What Is Earth Day

Earth Day is an opportunity for people across the globe to come together, not only to celebrate the world, but also to raise awareness about how crucial it is that we take steps now to protect our planet.


Earth Day takes place every year on 22 April and in previous years, to highlight the importance of being green and taking care of the planet.
