"Earth Day" is a special holiday that comes one every year. That day would be on April 22. What is Earth Day's purpose? The purpose for Earth Day is to inspire awareness and bring about the appreciation of Earth and its environment. The United Nations observes and celebrates it on the March Equinox.
