THE ULTIMATE
Today the annual Earth Day, that celebrates the Earth, is held for the 50th time, beginning in 1970.
In 1970 it was mainly celebrated in thousands of schools, colleges and universities across the USA. However, it is now celebrated in nearly all the 193 nation states recognised by the United Nations. In 2016 the Paris Agreement on Climate Change was signed on this day, signed by over 120 countries. The unofficial flag of Earth Day features the 'Blue Marble' photograph of the Earth from NASA's Apollo 17 spacecraft, showing the mainly water Earth alone in space, white clouds swirling through the atmosphere just south of the continent of Africa, and obscuring Antarctica. What can you do today to celebrate the 50th Earth Day!
