Earth Day Word Search
This Earth Day word search holds forty words for April 22: habitat, conservation, pollution, oxygen, oceans, rainforest, recycle and compost. They are the terms a class is usually learning the same week the day comes around, the vocabulary of recycling and of where the trash goes.
Earth Day started in 1970, when twenty million Americans turned out to protest oil spills, smog and rivers so polluted they caught fire. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin proposed it after the 1969 oil spill off Santa Barbara. It is now marked in nearly 200 countries, usually by doing something small and local: a beach cleanup, a tree planting, a switch to a refillable bottle.
The date was chosen for a dull, practical reason: late April falls between spring break and final exams, so students were free to turn out. That is also why it still lands squarely in the school calendar, and why most classrooms mark it.
