Earth Day 22 April 2001
Earth Day 
is important because it
reminds us to look at the problems of our environment. We need to make plans to
recycle materials that are recyclable and to clean up our rivers, streams, lakes
and oceans. Pollution is causing danger to the air we breathe, our soil, and our
water sources. Industries, automobiles, and others are releasing dangerous smoke
in our atmosphere and the air we breathe. This can cause us health
problems. 
Each of us must do our part to
recycle 
and
reuse products instead of throwing them away.
Earth Day is now celebrated each
year on April 22nd. Think
about what you can do to celebrate Earth Day
this year. We can all do something.
