In South Africa, they call Earth Day, Mother Earth Day. In Hungary, people ride bicycles. In Madagascar, they have a big carnival on Earth Day and in the USA they plant trees.
Children in the Environmental Club spoke about the ways people celebrate Earth Day around the world. They learned about the ways they can help the Earth and put their ideas in wonderful 3D posters. They look amazing!
