Earth’s interconnected systems bring our planet’s functions together and tie us together as its inhabitants.

 This Earth Day, share how you’re #ConnectedByEarth.

Ever heard of the Great global cleanup

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by EarthDay.org including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.

Earth science shows us the ways that the natural systems – land, water, air, ice – connect to, and affect, each other and our climate. While we are all connected to each other as Earthlings, sharing this tiny, blue ecosystem in space, we are also connected to the planet itself and it, in turn, back to us.


Earth science also connects to the agency’s space exploration by helping us understand other planets, the markers for potential life and, importantly, how astronauts can thrive in space and, one day, on other worlds.
 

On Earth, we have the advantage of gravity, sunlight, soil, water and other basics needed to grow plants and vegetables, both commercially and in our own spaces. 

This Earth Day, you are encouraged to start your own garden – be it in a plot of Earth or a pot full of Earth This can include romaine lettuce, radishes, mustard and more.
