April 22, 2011

This is an assignment that I did and it was for the subject Current Events. We pick an article from Newsademic and write a summary, connection, questions, eight thinking hats and insert a photo.

Summary

               Around the world on April 22 Earth Day was celebrated. This day is organized by the Earth Day Network. This main reason for this day is to aware and respect the environment. Environmentalists say that Earth Day should not be a day when we think about the environment once a year, it is actually a day to think of our responsibilities towards the environment. The first Earth Day was invented by an American politician in 1970. The highlight campaign was called ” Billion acts of green”. Network claims that big changes can happen when we all take part of Earth Day. Any act such as riding a bike to school.

Connections

This reminds me of my ”role of responsibility, recycler” because we are making a change and we are help the school by collecting recyclable paper around the elementary school area.

Question

1. Who is the Earth Day Network?

2. Who started the Earth Day Network?

3. Why isn’t Earth Day everyday?
