Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970 in the United States and Canada. Millions of North Americans participate in a demonstration and demand that politicians, statesmen, business circles include environmental protection in their priorities. In 1990, the holiday of our planet was declared international, and Bulgaria was one of the first countries to participate in its celebration. Over the past years, Earth Day – April 22 has become the largest non-religious holiday in the world. In our country, as well as in other countries, a call to celebrate Earth Day was spread to various state institutions, public movements, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, foundations, media, individuals – scientists, politicians, artists, the younger generation.
