This incredible planet keeps us alive, so we need to take care of it. But, over-consumption means it's in a crisis. As we continue to pollute nature, the climate gets hotter. For healthy people and a healthy planet, we need transformational change.
Earth Day is a global environmental movement that started in 1970, marked annually on 22 April. It calls for the protection of the planet through activism and education. Every year one billion people take part, across almost 200 countries, to create positive change.

At the Eden Project, our mission is to demonstrate and inspire positive action for the planet, which is why we know Earth Day is so important.
We celebrate our connection to nature, working with it to change the direction we're heading in, together. It's not too late to create a sustainable future with a stable climate, where everyone has equal access to fresh air, clean water and enough food.
This Earth Day, we were thrilled to welcome BBC Teach into our Rainforest Biome for a water-focused Live Lesson like no other. Hosts Naomi Wilkinson and Lizzie Daly ventured deep into the rainforest, taking an intriguing journey through the water cycle.
Brought to life among our lush leaves and tropical treetops, the lesson designed for 7 – 11 year olds, is a celebration of our planet and the water it wouldn't thrive without.
It is available to watch now on CBBC.
