7 Eye-Opening Facts for Earth Day | Mashable

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
April 22 is Earth Day, a day where humans everywhere take a minute to be grateful for this planet and the amazing natural resources we've benefited from thus far. It's also a day where we do our best to make sure future generations can continue to enjoy those resources. Maybe you'll unplug the TV, take a bike to work, plant a tree, make more of an effort recycling.

However you choose to honor it, Earth Day is a great way to jumpstart a lifetime of taking better care of our planet. While you're celebrating Earth Day (or making plans for the eco-conscious day), take a minute to read our favorite Earth Day facts.

Earth Day facts

Earth Day was inspired by Vietnam war protesters. It was started in 1970 by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, after he noticed people protesting the Vietnam War, but not putting any pressure on government about the damage being done to the planet via contaminants like oil spills, pesticides, and deadly smog.

The date was chosen to appeal to college students. April 22 was chosen intentionally by Senator Nelson and grad student Denis Hayes (who went on to internationalize Earth Day and start the Earth Day Network, among other foundations). They strategically selected April 22 in order to attract more college students, who were known for being politically active during that era of protest. The date fell between spring break and final exams.

This American holiday had a strong start. 20 million Americans celebrated the first Earth Day in 1970. It has since grown, and has been celebrated in more than 192 countries by over one billion civic-minded supporters.

Other countries know it as " International Mother Earth Day. "That's the name it was given by the United Nations in 2009. Here in the states, we still call it plain old Earth Day.

The Earth Day movement drove the creation of the EPA. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was approved by President Richard Nixon in 1970 as a result of the Earth Day movement. Legislation on clean air, clean water, toxic substances, and endangered species were passed, too.

Everyone can participate in Earth Day. People of all ages can march, plant trees, clean up their communities, and reduce waste in their own homes (or even try zero waste) with smart Earth Day tips. Proactive corporations and governments often use Earth Day to announce sustainability measures and pledges to support the environment.

Earth Day is not the same as Equinox Day. Equinox Day, which also celebrates the idea of caring for the planet, is held on the first day of spring, March 20. (In 2020, Equinox Day occurred on March 19, the earliest arrival of spring in more than a century.)

Earth Day has its own theme song. The Earth Day Anthem was written in 2013 by Indian poet Abhay Kumar, and has since been recorded in all official UN languages.

This global movement has inspired real change. On Earth Day 2011, 28 million trees were planted in Afghanistan for a "Plant Trees Not Bombs" campaign. In 2012, more than 100,000 people in China rode their bikes in order to reduce CO2 emissions and highlight the amount of pollution created by cars.

Each year, the Earth Day theme changes. In 1990, the spotlight was on global mobilization of environmental issues with a strong focus on recycling. In 2000 it was about global warming and clean energy. 2010 marked the world's largest environmental service project-A Billion Acts of Green-as well as a 250,000 person climate change rally in Washington, D.C. The theme for Earth Day 2020 is climate action, a challenge to take action to reduce climate change.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic shut down my preschool and much of the world, it's hard to remember what day it is or what special events are coming up. Did you know Earth Day is right around the corner? Honestly, It snuck up on me too. Typically at preschool, we read some books about taking care of the Earth, talk about recycling, and have a few lessons about what we can and can't recycle. This year isn't typical. This year as teachers, we need to think about activities our parents can do with their kids at home without overwhelming them. We need to think about simple activities that won't cause frustration that is close to the surface now than before. We need to consider limited materials too. When I teach about Earth Day, I try to focus on the three Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Using what we have for new things is probably my favorite R to focus on because not only is it good for the environment, it is also a lesson in problem-solving, and requires children to tap into their creativity! These Earth Day activities for preschoolers focus on the three Rs and help teach our children and students how to be better stewards of the Earth.

Lou Klein, 31, of South Philadelphia, had planned to participate in the annual Run for Clean Air race on Saturday with his running club before Gov. Tom Wolf issued statewide stay-at-home orders in March.

But Klein still plans to run the race - virtually - because he "supports the mission of the Clean Air Council," which has held the race since 1981. It has converted the event into a virtual run that started Saturday.

Now, environmentally focused groups are hosting free webinars, online learning for children, teaching aids for educators, environmental justice programs, and more.

Here's a rundown of some ways to celebrate Earth Day this year.

Get the news you need to start your day

"We decided that instead of canceling and postponing, that we would shift to a virtual run," Edwards said. "It already had a virtual component. So with a few easy steps, we were able to convert it all into a virtual run."

Edwards said participants can do their own 5K, 10K, or 3k walk route any time between Saturday and April 26. Registration proceeds go to the nonprofit Clean Air Council's mission of advocacy in the mid-Atlantic region.

The virtual race operates on the honor system, but participants can share their routes and submit their times. They can share their run using the hashtag #runforcleanair.

Runners will receive a medal - in the form of a stainless steel collapsible straw - and race shirt celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

"We're using social media to create a community around this," Edwards said. "It's our hope everyone will take a sweaty selfie and post it on our Facebook page or our Instagram page."

2020 Virtual Run for Clean Air, $35, register until April 25 at cleanair.org/run

Listen to talks about environmental justice

On Earth Day, WURD Radio's ecoWURD initiative, in partnership with From the Source, a collaboration of 10 news organizations reporting on the Delaware River Watershed, will host a daylong summit of on-air and online conversations exploring environmental justice at the intersection of race, health, the arts, education, and politics.

Through elemental themes of earth, air, water, and fire, the conversations will be framed to make environmental issues urgent, culturally relevant, and accessible while focusing on solutions.

WURD, which broadcasts on 96.1 FM, is the only African American-owned and -operated talk-radio station in Pennsylvania, and one of few in the country.

Learn about renewable energy

The Clean Air Council has joined with the Energy Co-op and Weavers Way Food Co-op and the Philadelphia Energy Authority to hold three educational webinars about renewable energy. The events are free but registration is required. They are:

Weavers Way s holding a virtual Earth Day Art "Make-In" on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. The event, livestreamed on Zoom, allows children and adults to share and make images inspired by Earth Day using whatever materials are at home. The event is free but registration is required.

National Geographic HAS launched "Earth Day Neighborhood Safari" - encouraging families across the globe to bring the wonders of the wild world to their neighborhood, as a way of staying connected with both nature and each other.

Families can design their own "safari stop" with the resources available on NatGeo@Home and can encourage their friends and neighbors to do the same while sharing safari shots on social media with #NatGeoEarthDayAtHome.

Understanding the Urban Watershed Curriculum Guide with Activity Ideas (Grades K-8) is a compilation of lessons and activities with chapters that explore water, water systems, and watersheds with vocabulary, activity ideas, discussion questions, and suggested reading.

A webinar for teachers helps them instruct on urban watersheds, and is packed with resources that easily adapt to distance learning. The webinars are one-hour workshops and the curriculum is designed for middle school, but all grade teachers are welcome. Dates are Tuesday and Thursday at 4 p.m., and Wednesday at 7 p.m. The webinars are free but registration is required.

Philadelphia Parks and Recreation has created a virtual "Parks & Rec @ Home" program that includes a variety of activities. Next week, the program will have an Earth Week theme to inspire a love of nature and passion for the environment and public spaces.

Staff members will host bird-watching tutorials, a "Grow Up Green" nature session for young children, a chat about which local trees are in bloom, and a guided virtual tour in the Wissahickon.

The Michener Art Museum in Doylestown is hosting a Virtual Earth Day that includes free activities such as a student climate channel and a presentation on plant science and climate change.

50 activities you can do at home

With Pennsylvania schools physically closed for the remainder of the school year in order to promote social distancing during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the set of activities provided by PennEnvironment offers a broad array of easy-to-do endeavors for Earth Day and beyond.

The list, which links to further information on subjects throughout is broken down into six different areas: Learn about solutions to climate change; learn about ways to reduce waste; learn about plants; learn about waterways, parks and conservation; learn about and protect birds, bees and other wildlife; and create a healthier home and community.

Earth Day, which was established in 1970 in the US, is celebrated on 22nd April each year. It is a day to think about our planet and what we can do to keep it special; to think about saving water and energy, reducing pollution, recycling, protecting our animals, trees and plants, and generally getting kids interested in protecting their environment.
"Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.
Kenyan proverb
Here are some quick ideas for celebrating Earth Day with your children:

Plant a tree

Go for a bike ride or a long walk (leave the car behind)

Hold a nature "scavenger hunt" (send the kids out into the garden or park in teams to collect - or spot - various items on a list you provide)

Print out some of our posters and place in strategic positions around the house. Talk about saving water when brushing teeth and saving energy by turning off the lights when you leave a room

Bake your favourite cookie or biscuit recipe and let the kids decorate with icing to look like the planet earth

Gather family and friends together and combine a picnic or other excursion with a litter clean-up

Set up a recycling centre in your home or school

Look through your shelves and find some books to give away via your local charity shop or library

Here's a quick (3-minute) introduction to how Earth Day started and the impact it's had:

Earth Day 2022

Earth Day will be held April 22, 2022 and the theme is Invest In Our Planet -because a green future is a prosperous future.

Just in time to support Earth Day this year, PLT has released a new, cutting-edge resource for elementary and middle school educators, Explore Your Environment: K-8 Activity Guide. Learn about the guide's 50 field-tested, hands-on activities and get a copy directly from PLT's Shop or by attending a local PLT professional development workshop conducted by PLT's 50-state network of 75 coordinators and 1,000 facilitators across the country.

Another way teachers and parents can observe Earth Day is to simply take children on a nature walk, whether that's in your backyard, at a local park, on a nearby forest trail, or on school grounds, depending on what's accessible in your area at this time. Doing a nature walk is not only about celebrating Earth Day. It's also an opportunity for learning experiences in a variety of subjects such as science, geography, math, and art. Make your nature walk educational and fun at the same time with these 12 Nature Walk Activities for Earth Day (or Any Day!)

Also, be sure to bookmark our Earth Day News Article full of fun ideas and activities to help you celebrate.

Even though Earth Day has a rich history, many people associate it with recycling. You'll probably find a lot of Earth Day activities for the classroom that focus on just that. This can be a great starting point, especially because it's an action students, schools, and families can do right away. If you want to incorporate activities on recycling in your Earth Day lesson plan, be sure to check out these reduce, reuse, recycle lesson plan ideas for every subject.

Young students can, and do, make a big difference. As an educator, you have the opportunity to spark a passion in students that will drive them to do their part to take care of the Earth. Here are a few different kinds of activities you could add to your lesson plans to inspire your students this Earth Day:

Make a pledge and a plan to take action

Writing down a commitment and making a plan are two actions that increase the likelihood that someone will follow through. So if you want those Earth Day lessons to stick, this is an easy activity to do with students of any age. This is a great way to incorporate an art project with a writing prompt.

Here are a few examples:

Integrate art projects

Art projects are fun way to add a hands-on activity to a lesson about Earth Day. Creating art can also help students feel connected to environmental topics, even if the issues you're studying are happening far away from home. It's also a great way to help them imagine the world they want to live in.

Here are a few examples of art projects for Earth Day:

Also, be sure to check out these art project ideas using recycled materials and Earth Day art activities.

Make signs for school and at home

Sometimes we just need a little reminder to help us change our habits. Have students think about what they can do at school and at home to help the environment and how they can encourage others to change their habits.

Make a video or presentation urging others to take action

Students can make a bigger impact if they influence others to do their part to protect the environment. Putting together a video or presentation also helps them internalize the material - they need to understand it before they can explain it to others. Presentations can be given in the classroom or even to the whole school. Eventually, they may be able to present their lessons and research at a local conference, like these students from Two Rivers Magnet Middle School in East Hartford, Conn.

Plant a tree

The Earth Day Network has a goal of planting 7.8 billion trees by 2020 - one tree for every person alive. By planting trees, you're taking a tangible action with your students and you're taking part in this bigger goal. Don't forget to check out these tree planting tips before you get started.

Engage students in a pollution experiment

Teaching about pollution is an essential part of Earth Day because it helps students understand the consequences of not protecting the Earth. It can be much easier to prevent pollution than to remedy it later. Students can experience the effects of pollution on a small scale in the classroom.

An activity for younger students:

See more types of pollution experiments you can do in your classroom and check out PLT's "Pollution Search" activity.

Pick up trash around your school

Trash clean-ups are another hands-on activity you don't even have to leave the school grounds to do. To make a bigger impact, have students write down what kinds of trash they pick up and where. After analyzing the data together, you can find patterns and explore solutions so you can stop the trash at the source.

In fact, there's a new app that can help you do just that. Check out Litterati, the app that makes it fun to pick up littler and helps prevent litter:

Host a drive to collect e-waste

E-waste is a growing problem in the U.S. and around the world. E-waste represents more than 70% of toxic waste in landfills. So it's probably not surprising that only 12.5% of e-waste is recycled.

This is an opportunity for your students to help raise awareness about this problem within our school and community. Students can research a nearby recycling facility and organize a drive to collect e-waste to help combat this problem in your community.

Show them examples of other students making a real difference

It's important for students to see examples of young environmentalists so they know they don't need to wait until they're older to make a difference. These inspiring examples of young environmentalists is a great place to start, and there are many more young people doing great work. Learning about the work these young people are doing can give your students new ideas for how to protect the environment. It can open the door of possibilities for how to think about finding solutions to problems they can help solve.

Earth Day isn't just on April 22. It's every day. How will you celebrate Earth Day and help students make a difference year-round?

Are children prepared for industries of the future?

The education system was designed post industrial revolution to prepare children for factory work and often does not relate to the fast changing world we live in!

The National Curriculum is exam driven andtest based with exams at 7+, 8+, 11+, 13+ with little opportunity to develop skills for non academically inclined children. Parents are paying for expensive tutors not to mention reducing valuable downtime giving children the opportunity for creative play. Children are increasingly becoming anxious, from a young age, with stress impacting their mental and spiritual wellbeing resulting in a loss of the joy of learning.

Make a quick anatomy model for kids to study the human body with these free printable life-size organs!

What is a good age for learning about the human body anatomy? The truth is, most children get their first anatomy lessons before they turn one. "This is your mouth. This is your nose. This is your belly button." You know how it goes. Very easy to teach because children can see their body parts, and children are extremely interested because it's all about them.

It's a little trickier with the inside parts.

But what if children could see them too? The free printable life-size organs give them just such a chance. Children can study their body anatomy in a hands-on way. Literally, hands-on. They can handle the printed organs, move them around and even try them on!

The printable organs are scaled so that their size would be right for an average eight-year-old child. A few years older or a few years younger should be fine as well. If you have a child who is significantly smaller, just print the pages at a reduced scale. When we were making an anatomy model of my two-year-old daughter, we printed the pages at 80% scale.

The free printable organs include: brain, lungs, heart, trachea, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine, kidneys, urinary bladder, and some others. The name of the organ is printed right on it, so that it'd be easier for children to identify them. There is also a separate version of the same organs included without any text.

The organs included can't form as many body systems as our anatomy paper dolls do, but there are enough to make at least four systems:

digestive system

nervous system

urinary system

respiratory system

If you want to build a life-size skeleton, check here!

The set includes cards that show the general outlines of how to build each of the systems. While looking at a card, children can easily replicate different human body systems - or attempt to draw their own versions! Do you want more information? Take a look at our list of 10 best anatomy books for kids, where we have selected our favourites for different ages and levels of interest.

Watch a Video

Study Anatomy with Printable Life-Size Organs

First, you'll need a big sheet of paper (about 24″ x 52″). You can glue/tape two sheets of poster paper together or use the backside of wrapping paper. Brown kraft paper would also work!

Next, you'll need to make an outline of the child's body. Here my son (5) made an outline of his sister's (2) body. She was just so excited to get traced! We made his outline as well.

My son used a pencil for doing the outlines. That way, we could prevent any possible stains to the clothes and make little corrections to the outlines later. After we were satisfied with the outlines in pencil, we reinforced them in marker.

After that, the organ assembly was in order.

The kids enjoyed figuring out where to put different pieces. It was like a big puzzle. With some pieces, like the brain, it was obvious where they should go, but others provided more challenge.

After that, my son tried to build some body systems using cards. The urinary system was his favourite. He was particularly curious about that system (you know, PEE!), and he also liked that it was so simple.

He wasn't confident that he could build a digestive system, but with the help of the digestive system card, he managed that as well.

He also made an attempt to put all the organs in. It worked, but things got a little crowded. You can't really see all the parts, but it does show how multi-layered our bodies are. Again, the idea of layers that make our bodies is better represented in our anatomy paper dolls that showcase the skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, etc.

We started the project by making the body outlines while laying on the floor, but we soon realized that we could also tape the kids' silhouettes to the wall. At that point, we also cut them out. Look at my daughter with her paper twin!

This activity has many variations that you can try!

have the kids try the organs on by holding them in front of their bodies

instead of attaching the printable organs to the paper cutout, attach them to an old t-shirt (with safety pins or fabric glue)

once the kids have mastered the printable organs, have them draw their own versions on their paper twins

Human anatomy, or anthroponomy, studies structures and systems of the human body. The human body is a complex system of cells, organs, bones and tissue. Human anatomy is divided into macroscopic and microscopic. Macroscopic anatomy is the examination of animals body parts using nothing but your eyesight, or what you can see with your naked eye.

An update on our services

In line with our COVID-19 contingency planning and the latest Government guidance, we have suspended all of our groups, drop-ins and training events and have moved all our services to remote or digital delivery.

Our Freephone National Helpline, along with our ASK email, Crisis Messenger and online chat services remain available to support bereaved families and professionals caring for them. Those families who were already being supported by our area-based practitioners will continue to receive support via telephone sessions or video.

We know that in uncertain times like this, children and young people need reassurance and we know many grieving families will be looking for support.

This webpage will be updated regularly with information, advice and guidance, along with our up-to-date Helpline and online chat opening hours.

As always, we are regularly updating our social media channels. Our Facebook groups (Adults Bereaved as Children and Supporting Bereaved Children and Young People) are a great source of support, and membership opens up opportunities to connect digitally with others who may have had similar experiences.

The well-being and safety of the children, young people and families we support, and the staff and volunteers who enable that support to happen, is our paramount concern. At this challenging time, we remain absolutely committed to doing whatever we can for them, and for the wider community, to stay safe and well whilst still accessing the information and support they need.

Routes into Allied Health Professions’ Careers

Allied health professionals (AHPs) provide treatment and help rehabilitate adults and children who are ill, have disabilities or special needs, to live life as fully as possible. They work across a wide range of different settings including the community, people’s homes and schools, as well as hospitals. They often work in the independent sector and for charities. If you are looking for a career that combines a challenge, an excellent employment package and the reward of doing something really worthwhile, the allied health professions offer a wide range of opportunities.
