Earth Day: How Can I Help?
Grades 1-8 2013 CC 12 min McIntyre Media Inc.
In 1963, Senator Gaylord Nelson from the United
States began to worry about our planet. He noted the
increased li er, exhaust fumes, smoke from factories,
the dangerous spraying of chemicals - all things that
were doing harm to the Earth and our health. Nelson
had an idea and on April 22, 1970, the fi rst Earth Day
was held.
In this new Canadian produc on, you will learn about
the history of Earth Day and its vital importance to the
health of our planet - the planet we rely on for our basic
needs - food, water, and shelter. Canada’s First Na ons
people have lived off this land for thousands of years
and understand how each part of the environment
aff ected another. Their rela onship to the Earth is one
of respect. We all have to learn to respect the Earth and
to be responsible.
So what can you do to help on Earth Day? Take a look at
what other kids, schools and communi es throughout
Canada have done. Ranging from the 3 R’s to plan ng
trees and gardens to a walking school bus, you’ll get
some great ideas on how you can help. And remember,
every day should be Earth Day.
