Earth Day facts and traditions

Earth Day is an annual day of environmental action and teaching. It is not a public holiday.

The first Earth Day was a nationwide environmental teach-in proposed by Senator Gaylord Nelson and coordinated by Denis Hayes. Hayes took it international in 1990, with events in 141 nations.

• The first Earth Day was held in the United States on April 22, 1970.
• The name was coined by the advertising writer Julian Koenig.
• The Paris climate agreement was signed on Earth Day 2016.

How the Earth Day countdown counts

The timer runs to midnight at the start of Earth Day in your own time zone: the hours, minutes and seconds left today, plus the full days after that. "Days until" counts calendar days, so tomorrow is always 1 day away and the count at the top is one more than the timer's full days. After the day has passed, the countdown moves on to next year by itself.

For a span between any two dates, with weeks and working days, use the days between dates calculator. To count down to a date of your own, create a countdown with its own link.
